They are magic because you can just plug your PC into them without dieing  >:D

TOK:
I misunderstood your question, sorry. If its your all around PC, I don't think it's worth all the trouble.

Jack Burton:
Do you plan on watching TV on this monitor too?  Or watching downloaded episodes?

If KI and MAME are your #1 priority and desktop as second then I would recommend a high quality PC CRT. 

cluster:
No Jack, I have dual 22" monitors connected to my PC at the moment, and a third out put on my video card which is S-Video.  Do these old CRT monitors have an S-video input on the back?

In fact Jack, I just found out that MAME kinda sucks for KI, it actually has input delay. And it is missing some of the frames too, it's not as fluid and well animated as it would be on an authentic cabinet.

That being said, I'm starting to think that a "Jamma In A Box" style setup maybe best suited for me.  (That's if I can even find it as the production is out of service now, and I can't find one anywhere online).

pinballwizard79, your suggestion kind of defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to achieve, which is 100% clear picture.  So unless that 320x240 image gets expanded significantly once it hits my 46" plasma, I would rather not play with a tiny 640x480 'ish size image in the middle of my 46" TV.  And if I stretch to fit, then I'm back at square one, a blurry game at full screen.

Jack Burton:
Cluster, you may want to look into upscaling devices.  I think there is one called an XRGB.  The guys over at Neo-geo.com use these to make Neo Geo games look good on their high res monitors.  You might want to have a look around that message board or make a thread there.  Look around shoryuken.com too.

Yes, MAME can have input delay depending on the version and settings, and so will any other emulator.  There's nothing that feels as smooth and good as a real board when it comes to fighting games.
