I disagree. I have one in my classroom and have played mame on it very nicely. It is a monitor and has sufficiently better resolution than a tv. Because you are limited to 800x600,though, it seems a bit more "blurred" than your desktop monitor, but in my opinion would work well in a mame machine. My $.02

: IIRC from seeing these in person, these aren't really much more than a television with a built-in scan convertor. Sometimes these are also known as presentation monitors. A while ago Gateway sold these as part of a computer system that would sit in a home entertainment system insted of on a desk. Interesting concept that didn't fly very well. In my opinion this wouldn't be a very good idea for monitor for a MAME machine.
