Get another arcade monitor with the ArcadeVGA (www.ultimarc.com), if you can afford it.  If not, any ati card with tv out and a decent tv is okay.

well my tnt2u has a good tv out (used to use it all the time) so i might go with that and a tv.

I cant afford the arcade vga ,. its just to much of an outlay when you add in the monitor as well.

The J-Pac video only protects the aracade monitor from being damaged by too high of sync coming from a card. You need either the ArcadeVGA card, or run DOS with utilities to get a normal card to work with an arcade monitor.
