I would deffinately go with the S-vid T.V. I'm using an ATI Rage Fury Pro 32Mb and a 25" T.V. and the arcade games look great and the PC games look good too. The only problem with the PC games is that if there is small font like for instance the communication lines in Quake III, it's VERY hard to read on the T.V. I've also tried playing Dues Ex and I had to use a regular PC monitor to do that since most of the game used small font for information and communication etc.. So basically, if there is a PC game that doesn't use that much small font, then it will work great, but if it has a lot of small font, then it might be hard to play. The PC games that work well on mine are NFL Blitz 2000, Quake III, Tiger Woods Golf, Pro Pinball, Alice, Golden Tee, Raiden II, and Combat Flight Sim. Here is a screen shot of Quake III from my screen shot page on my cabinet web site.
Game on!! Brian
: I'm debating going with a standard 17-19 monitor or a larger 27" s-video TV and perhaps a Geforce2 (64MB). My main concern is how PC games will look on the TV. I like games like Thief, Quake, etc and want them to look good on the cab as well. What do you all think?
