Picked up a couple IREM Madonnas last week, neither of em have monitors. Looks like they both originally came with the Nanao MS8-25F, which I imagine is fairly hard to find out here. Plus, wouldn't mind having the options of a tri rez monitor...

What're you guys running in your candys? Any monitor recommendations, or good sources?

I've got nothing at all monitor-wise, just the empty cabs. :]

You could be a baller and put some lcds in there. :cool:


make sure to look at the happ site.

Then you have to deal with refresh rates and IMO, nothing beats the looks of a CRT for arcade games.

Also, if you are using the tri-res for higher def games, they are real nice. For standard res games, they look a little soft. But the prices have gone way down. I could have sworn that they were $500 last year.
