: If you have used a TV with s-video for an arcade cabinet, please answer this poll briefly. I'll compile the results into a page somewhere.
: 1. What TV did you use? Please specify make, model and size.
Sony Wega 24"
: 2. Where did you purchase it? Store and state.
Private Sony Employee's Store - I'm an employee so I get access to huge discounts...
: 3. Are you satisfied with the quality? Would you recommend it to another person?
The BEST tube style tv you can get for this price. No question. EXCELLENT picture. FLAT screen. Looks sharper like a computer monitor rather than a rounded tube tv. Recommend for ANYONE.
: 4. What video card are you using to run the TV?
ASUS Geforce2 MX
: 5. Are you satisfied with the video card (note: Concentrate soley on it's value as an S-Video output, and not any other concerns per se about the card).
Completely satisfied. I could not have gotten anything better for this situation. The picture is nice and sharp like a computer monitor but I still have the nice scanlines of a normal TV to give it a little old school arcade feel.
: 5. Any notes or brief comments on the TV.
If you haven't seen a Sony Wega, they look really cool. They are completely silver and just look plain awesome. It looks so cool that I don't even put a bezel on my cab. It just fits with teh rest of my cool cab.
: Thanks!
