Just remember if you plan to run 3-D games (like with the Impact emulator, or N64) you'll need a video card that supports such. Try to find one that use the Chrontel TV out chipset over the inferior Brooketree.

Seems to me that with the new MameW's stretching and filtering the picture looks pretty authentic even on a crisp PC monitor. But if you use an emulator with no picture "smoothing" it'll looking blocky on a PC monitor. The 25" S-Vid TV is the cheapest and safest bet IMHO.

: Is it wiser to use a computer screen or maybe real tv? And if a real tv how can i connect the tv to the computer?
