Commodore Monitor Question
Well my friend and I are building a smallish arcade cabinet, and with my budget affording TVs is difficult. There's an old used Commodore monitor in a local store, but I'd like to know if using it is a good idea first before I make a purchase. Anyone know if they're any good? I'm just hoping they work well and aren't prone to problems. Any suggestions?
Re: Commodore Monitor Question
Maybe, do you know what model it is?
Otherwise look for an analog monitor compatible with a 15.5 kHz horizontal frequency. Digital EGA/CGA monitors will distort the colours severely, and most VGA need a minimum 30 kHz horizontal frequency or they self-destruct (really).

Sorry about the late reply, I haven't been able to get on lately, been busy. Anyway, I'll check the store tomorrow to see what model it is, I can't remember since I was last there.
