Usually they're like $70

[CPTRAVE]

Yeah, that is a good price. O:) I was thinking about getting one but with my CD add on why waste my money.

I think that if i were to collect turbo-cd games i would get a duo then region mod it so i don't have to go through the system card bullshit. I soon want to get my turbo region switched so i can play pce games and be a happy american boy playing the games that no one in this land had.

I'd pay $40 for a Booster, even if it's the regular version and I already have the cd unit with the av inputs.

This is good thinking.

I picked up a Sony PVM-1910 for free from Craigslist. The owner stated his former employer used it once at a trade show and then he used it for a year at home, so the tube has plenty of life in it and the picture is beautiful. It features 900 lines of resolution and has composite, S-Video, RGB and component inputs. Because it's a pro monitor it has BNC connectors for the inputs and outputs and 3.5mm jacks for audio. Now I need to get more RCA-to-BNC and some RCA-to-3.5mm adapters.

Ooh I like that studio monitor, that is superb!

[DrBread]

High quality as f*ck. And free is a great price

You should look into using the 25pin CMPTR port on the back I have a SCART > CMPTR cable and its jawsome!

[PunkicCyborg]

I have a scart breatout board which works great, I haven't had any problems with a console syncing up to it yet and yeah once you go PVM it's hard to go back to regular TVs

[Opethian]

thats because once you see RGB you cannot unsee. Composite will forever look like ass

Sony lab monitors are the best (except the usual small size) one can just get. I had one back in the days
which did eat probably every signal in existance. Damn, miss that thing. Lol.

[CPTRAVE]

Just wondering where are you going to get the RCA to BNC and the RCA-to-3.5mm adapters? I need the same thing.

4121   BNC Male to RCA Female Adaptor - Gold Plated
7174   Metal 3.5mm Mono Plug to RCA Jack Adaptor - Gold Plated (note these are mono because my PVM has separate left and right audio inputs; stereo adaptors are also available)

Now I just have to find out where I can get those SCART to CMPTR 25-pin parallel cables Opethian suggested.
