pc moniter in cab ?
- Thread starter RICHE100
- Start date
i suppose one issue might be, will the pc monitor turn on/off automatically when mains power is supplied/removed. if not, you will need to turn the pc monitor on manually every time you want to play
other issue is a pc monitor wont look authentic like a real arcade monitor
perhaps a solution to both issues above is, go down your local rubbish tip and get yourself an old school tv for free (my local rubbish tip has a skip full of tv's) .. however i cant advise on getting your 'arcade rgb signal' to work with the tv, you would need a tv which can handle rgb scart for starters anyway (most do i think) .. then perhaps u would need a special cable made up, or some kind of video signal converter box....

The simple answer to this is that a PC monitor won't work as a replacement for a necked Hantarex full stop. Ones 15Khz, the ther 30 odd. But I'm hoping you new that?
That's before you get into mounting, power etc.guddler2012-07-08 01:59:17

Mounting it shouldn't be a problem. Whenever I have put one is a cab it's always fitted in the cage from the original. Obviously they need to be the same size. If you are running 19 or 60 in 1 PCB then no problem as the can output straight to a 31khz monitor. If you want to use normal PCB's then you are going to need a converter of some kind.
