24" Soyo monitor

<< < (3/3)

I would recommend looking in your local newspaper ads to find a nice 27" TV with SVideo out for about $40 to $70 only.  Keep the extra money or simply buy more arcade controls with the savings ...... trackball, spinner, Star Wars yoke, etc...    :)

Good luck

I beg to differ.  But deals belong here.

Unit416,

I found myself in your situation just recently - debating over LCD versus monitor.  The issue at hand was that I wanted 4:3 screen ratio because a widescreen LCD was "wasted space" for a lot of games.  I tried Pac-Man and other vertical games on a 24" LCD and it just didn't look right.  I did manage to find a 21" LCD with 4:3 but it was over $350US.

I managed to find a 25" commercial-grade monitor for $25 on craigslist.com - the seller set it up and showed me the picture quality and the video inputs.  The thing is heavy, but after connecting my laptop to it and playing Pac-Man and some other vertical games on it, I was sold.

I know it sometimes can come down to a money issue, but I'm really glad I went monitor versus LCD now.

Jim
