At my first arcade auction I was talking about a while ago I talked to some dude who repaired arcade games and just bought about $12,000 at the auction. Anyway we were talking about MAME and whatever, and told him I just bought a 25" s-video TV for mine. He was telling me how much worse they look than an official arcade monitor for 2 reasons. 1. They have a higher refresh rate 2. They are built to last longer. Is this true? DOes a TV monitor really lose quality on games (even the old mid 80 early 90's games)? I set up my cab a couple days ago and something doesnt look right. It looks just a bit fake, Im wondering if its becuase Im using a normal TV. Whats the difference? THANKS!
