XRGB-2 with a VGA monitor doesn't look so hot for games that use interlaced video, like all PS2 games, some PSOne games, etc. None of the games look good if you don't use an RGB cable. If you're using an RGB cable, you might as well use an RGB monitor.
I'd say the best quality picture you'll get would be from a nice SVGA TV that will sync down to 15.75 KHz for the console systems using RGB cables. Having SVGA will make Dreamcast and PC games look amazing. RCA makes some nice ones like that.

: I own well over a dozen console systems plus about 10 arcades and I'm tired of my old 25" tv with s-video. I need the absolute best picture for everything plus I have everything I need for a MAME cab, except I'm holding up on the monitor. My question is, should I just buy a large 19" Monitor and a high powered Video card, or should I get something like the XRGB-2 and a high res monitor? What about one of those Gateway Destination 30"+ monitors as well? I've also heard a lot of good news about the Wells Gardener RGB monitors...
: Please help...
