I'm not sure but I think the monitor goes to sleep if it loses the green signal so that probably extends its useful life.
I will edit the subject so everyone is clear. Quote from: urbecrisch on April 12, , pm. Quote from: SavannahLion on April 12, , pm. Thanks for the clarification.
The monitor looks great with no burns or flickering but I know it's at least 16 years old so it would suck if it decided to crap out on me any time soon. Generally when I first get a monitor of that age, even the 20 year old ones that still work fine, I can already assume that they will be due for a capacitor kit and some resoldering of certain components. But depending on your skill level or desire to immediately learn about monitor repairs Kevin, I'm nowhere near being able to install a cap kit for my monitor.
This is my first arcade monitor and I'm even afraid to take it out of the CAB right now to do some CAB repairs after reading how many volts a monitor holds! Any suggestions how to take it out safely for transport and CAB repairs without killing myself? I just need some positive reinforcement. FrizzleFried no one listens to me anyway.

Visit my arcade blog at: www. FrizzleFried, thanks for the vote of confidence. Again, the picture on my monitor looks great so hopefully it won't be needing any work for awhile now. If not, replace the cords or make sure they are covered with electrical tape. You might love the nostalgia and great function of vintage TV monitors, but…. Heavy and large CRT monitors are a major space hog, which makes them less than ideal for modern living.
LED and LCD monitors are both liquid crystal monitors, which means they both function by using liquid crystals to block and pass light thru layers of glass. Many new monitors do not have older connection options available.
Hence, many classic console users find themselves needing a converter. S-video, composite, and coax are the best choices for older gaming consoles. Composite is compatible with gaming systems like Dreamcast, the Nintendo 64, or the GameCube. However, other consoles like PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox are most compatible with component. This is a problem for Play Station 2 and Xbox users because composite usage on a component based system often compromises viewing quality.
Since most TV monitors have multiple connection options, they are best suited to those with multiple gaming systems and an emulator. TV monitors are meant to be viewed from a distance. Hence, they are also best suited to those who play games with multiple users. Computer monitors are designed for up close viewing.
