Does "Standard Resolution" in arcade monitor parlance mean...

[WunderCade]

...T.V. set resolution? IN other words....my JAMMA cab has a "standard resolution" monitor in it and I was wondering...if it is the same resolution as TV....can I just pop in a 25" TV?

The magnetic distortion won't come out of it, no matter how many tries at degaussing so I want a replacement option.

The supported native resolution is the same, but you will need a chassis to go with your TV tube to pump an arcade RGB signal to it.  Something like this:

I believe Rick from Nieman Displays can also hook you up (and he's very reputable around here).

Before you give up on your current monitor, there's a few things to try:

*Check the locations of speakers in the cabinet and nearby stuff.  Speakers have magnets...big magnets.

*Re-orient/re-locate the cabinet and try using the integrated degauss again.  Sometimes there's just a particularly bad magenetic field in the area either due to surrounding "stuff" or even just the Earth's magnetic field.

*Use a dedicated degaussing tool.  These can be had for about $10-15 on ebay or at local auctions.  These are much stronger than the integrated degauss, but if the problem is a local magnetic pheonomenon, this won't fix it.

It's entirely possible that, if the problem is caused by some location specific phenomenon, the same problem will appear with a TV.

All that said, yes "standard resolution" is compatible with SDTV video timings, but the input formats are not the same.  Arcades use RGB video with a dedicated sync line while TVs in the USA use NTSC composite or s-video or YPbPr component with sync on Y.
