daics3522 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi all, Wondering if anyone has one of these they wish to part with for a MAME system with a 21" Flat Screen Arcade Monitor I am putting together. I can source one from China but thought I would test the waters here first... PM me if you have one with price including P&H... Cheers in advance....

David_AVD Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Also bear in mind not all video converters are of the same quality or feature set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daics3522 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Also bear in mind not all video converters are of the same quality or feature set. All I want is something to run a MAME PC on a 21" Flat Screen Monitor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_AVD Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Some scan converters can only scale down from certain resolutions, which may (or may not) be a problem in your situation. Some also do a really shitty job. (poor colour, bad patterning, etc) It's usually vaguely related to price, but with Chinese stuff it's hard to say. Maybe buy one of the cheapy ones from OS? Let us know the result if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daics3522 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Maybe buy one of the cheapy ones from OS? Let us know the result if you do. For $35.00 USD posted I just might try one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_AVD Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 That's a bargain price Craig. It may be a POS, but it may just turn out to be a "diamond" with a factory direct price. It's hard to tell with the plummeting price of Chinese electronics these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell with the plummeting price of Chinese electronics these days! latest price from Sanstar ($28USD). I emailed them and was quoted $35.00USD including freight so I may just order one. Even it is $40USD including frieght it won't matter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
