Attention To All Who Use TV's

I'm just wondering if there were a few kind souls who use TV's through S-Video to post some pictures of how "readable" the text is in windows. I plan on making my cabinet this way and am worried about the text in windows.
Thanks in advance,
M

I plan on using a Sony WEGA 27" Flat-Tube with a GeForce4 Ti4600. Any specific information on either of these would be usefull.

Geforce 4 ti4600 would be wayyyy too overkill for Mame. It hardly even uses any video processing power, just get a card with minimum 32megs ram or so and make sure it has nice video-out. ATI is one of the better cards IMO.

Yes, I plan on building a rather updated machine to play PC games with also. Looks like I just might have to save for a long while and buy the Princeton Graphics Arcadia 2.7FTX

A little steep but it has gotten rave reviews.

My cabinet has a 24" Sony Wega. I am VERY pleased w/ how it looks. Your setup will look great. Don't waste you money on those Princeton monitors/tvs. They are nice but I guarantee you will be more than pleased w/ that Wega.

Oh well I think I'm gonna stick with the TI-4600 anyway seeing as I can buy it from my friend who received two as a gift for $100. It's a Leadteck too.
-Jackobud How readable is windows on your WEGA?
