If your gonna get an ArcadeVGA card or mod your card, I'd highly reccommend the scart hack I done, Its brillant, picture perfect

If this is a flat screen, it may be a HDTV or EDTV which give higher resolution, which would involve scaling the picture, which may add some distortion.  Additionally, most flatscreens are pixelized.  You may want to run it at the HIGHEST resolution it supports, and enable stretching in MAME.
