Title: Should work good....
Post by: Birdtales on November 20, 2002, 07:06:25 pm

I just won this auction on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3696&item=2071722105

Looks like it will work good for an arcade. Won it for 10.50 but have to pay 75.00 shipping. Still might be a good deal for 85.00.

 Any thoughts. I'll update when it gets here. I know some don't like PC monitors however I originally went with a Scan Converter and Composite on my first Cab and hated it. It's an X-Box Arcade now and I'm building a second Mame dedicated Cab.

Looks pretty good.  Not sure how you go from VGA to single BNC though.  I paid $80 for my 27" EYGO and couldn't have been happier.  Sometimes it doesnt have to cost alot to be a good thing!

Since this monitor is based on the KDS VS 21 I assume the listing means either a single HD15 VGA cable or BNC (BNC 4 Composite Sync) if my research is correct.

It looks (on the outside) just like my 21"er that I used... and it uses a standard VGA cable (it also has the individual bnc connectors as well, but I don't use those =P )

Looks good, the dot pitch is a little big for a PC monitor but for arcade gameing that won't matter. I'd buy one for $80.

The only thing I'd be concerned about is burn in, ATM's never go off and I've never seen one with a screen saver. I've also  never seen an ATM with this big :o of a big screen.

Came today, no burn in because it was brand new and factory sealed.  :) It says 21" Kiosk monitor on it. I love this thing, wish he would sell more but since the bidding only went up to 10.50 he probably won't. Still a great deal and Rampy it is EXACTLY like yours as far as I can tell from the pics you put up.

 Picking up the cabinet on Sunday, just need to order a few more items before this Mame Arcade can all go together.
