Do most of you use a tv, pc monitor, or arcade monitor?

If using a tv, how do you guys have yours hooked up to your pc? What do you recommend?

Trying to decide on what to go with. I can get the 25" arcade monitor working but I'd prefer to go with something a little more energy efficient. Was going to just get a pc monitor but I've been having a hard time finding a 25" non widescreen that's reasonably priced. It'd be easy to find a 25" tv but not sure the best way to hook it up.

Thanks :flowers:

I was using a 27" flat tube SDTV via component video out from my video card. I just recently decided to go with an LCD and picked up a 26" LCD HDTV to go into my cabinet. I've tested many games on it and everything looks great. Sure I'll miss the vertical resolution, but the cab looks so much better and will look even better when my 7" LCD installed.

You got a widescreen? Doesn't that look weird? Could you post a little pic?

I'm not a stickler about arcade accuracy, but vertical games with cropped bezels displaying look just fine. I'm completely re-building my cabinet right now so it is not in a state that will really show how the widescreen looks in the cabinet.
