JVC DT-V1910CG Broadcast Monitor

Post by metrodigital »

Hi Guys,

I have access to a JVC DT-V1910CG at work that is no longer in use.
It's a 19" Broadcast monitor and seems to have RGB inputs.
Would this be a good monitor for an arcade cabinet or mame?
Should I make my boss an offer to buy it?

Here are some pics of it.

If you can get it a decent price I'd say definitely go for it. Its a fantastic monitor and I've only ever had sync issues with it on RGB modded PCE, which I managed to mostly remedy with the help of a Extron RGB interface. Here's a thread with more info about the monitor and some other members opinions: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60348

It is a multisync monitor that can sync to 15, 24 and 31 kHz signals (as well as 720p and 1080i, for what it's worth), so yes, it's good for games - provided that you don't mind thick scanlines (here's a sample of the smaller DT-V17).

If you take it and don't need the video/s-video input board, I'd offer 80 EUR for it :)

Definitely buy it if it's a good price. I've passed on one about 2 years ago and haven't found another ever since. There's been a couple of 17 inch ones, but never the 19.
It includes the RGB board, which is good. Also available is an HD SDI board which, with an adapter, can be used to play HDMI consoles on the thing. Compared to the Sony's this HD SDI card does not have a loud fan either.

Also, see if your boss still has the 16:9 bezel and check for 16:9 burn in, depending on its former use case.
