does anyone have any experience with this monitor?
i could snag one locally for 75$ bucks, but
want to make sure first there's no CATCH when it comes to playing
pcbs, etc.

did a search; couldnt find anything on this model

thanks for your help

Looks like the other monitors of similar model, like the 2030. That means it'll be a great TV, but keep in mind that thing is 32", so it's going to be heavy as fuck.

Just did a search and found some dude saying he hooked up his SS via RGB just fine: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/archive ... 20589.html

If that's the case, most arcade PCB's should work with it, too.

Here are some pics/specs from a local Craig's List ad (if I had more room and were a heavy weight champion strong enough to move it myself, I'd buy this one): http://phoenix.craigslist.org/sys/612846609.html

Here's the factory remote: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Remote-Control ... dZViewItem

the PVM's are great! (supports analog and digital RGB), I've used a smaller 19" one in the past, all my boards worked fine with it.
Get it as long as there aren't any completely terrible problems with the picture, any slight geometry/convergence issues can sometimes be fixed by just tweaking the adjustment things inside the monitor located on the crt's neck.
