Hi all,

I have posted a few questions on this before, but I now have some additional info.

The monitor I have in mind is the SUN GDM-20E20. (See here for spec's: http://www.griffintechnology.com/monitors/Sun12.html) Now from what I can tell, I have two options in getting this monitor to work on a normal pc/mame setup.

a) A cable solution (according to this: http://www.si87.com/Products/Videocards/monitor-table.html it appears that only a cable will be required)

b) A video card designed to work with the fixed frequency monitor. (Here: http://www.si87.com/Products/Videocards/videocards.html)

My question is: Does anyone out there have any experience with this monitor? Can anyone confirm or deny that the cable solution will be successful?

I would really like to put this monitor to work in the cab as it's nice and big, and the image quality is superb. I only plan on using MAME in the cab. Can anyone think of a reason why this will not work?

Any info will be appreciated.

thanks
