I'm about ready to start my cabinet based on the infamous LuSiD plans (thanks!)... last question is the type of TV. I saw the earlier thread (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/wwwboard/messages/8564.html) on the RCA F25625 vs Phillips TP2784C and am struggling with the following:

1) The RCA is a proven quanity (via LuSiD's cabinet) and seems to work well with the ATI Rage Fury... has anyone tried the Phillips?

2) How does the S-VIDEO connection compare to the video quality of an arcade monitor (I know it is not going to be SVGA or RGB level quality but are things fairly crisp without strobing or other artifacts)?

3) Can windows run reasonably legibly (i.e. enough to navigate around, move files, start games) etc. at 800x600 with an S-Video connection?

4) How do real PC games (e.g. Unreal Tournament) look on the ATI Rage Fury + TV combo?

5) How well does the Rage run modern 3D games (like UT)?

Thanks!
Keith
