I read that many times here the people use TV's with the famous scart connection.

DarthNuno is the "SCARTMASTER"  as far as i know  8)

another example

But i'm sure he can tell you all about it

for the 20" you need a 51 cm. tube and for the 19" a 48 cm. tube if i am correct.

 ;D

I used to buy *brand* new 50 or 51 cm TV in shops like Auchan (France) or Carrefour/CORA (Belgium) close to my house, but it's now impossible since few months  :-[ Fortunately for me, I've enough TV in stock now ::) :P
But I'm also very close to a second hand shop, and they ALWAYS have CRT TV between 48 and 51cm ... but you can easily find them in your local ads, or on ebay  ;) But be quick... it'll be soon or later difficult to find them...

Etienne is right... Scart connector is an awesome option we have in Europe to have a perfect RGB picture  :-*

Soon or later, you'll say : "I LOVE RGB... I LOVE RGB via SCART"  ;D ;D ;D Try it and you'll see... Easy, Cheap & Efficient  :-* 8)

If you _really_ want a monitor:
http://www.grebo.eu/arcadegames/shop/index_eng.htm

or else from the US:

www.arcadeshop.com has recently re-stocked the Visio Pro 19" monitors.

But the TV with SCART is a very economic option. Try to get a TV with a digital set-up though.

Great ! Not even too expensive IMHO. The anal part of me says the straight angled corners are not "old school" enough but hey, we have little to choose !

I think they're also "around the corner" from you ;)

not expensive at all! - i used to buy old geneic cabinets (JK kabinetter, danish arcade/slotmachine company) and strip them for all, and sell the enpty cab to someone who would convert it to
and even better, these are new, you never know what you get the other way, and they live in my back yeard! - almost :D

Yeah, if I had the money, I'd buy a pallet of those things and be done with it all.....

How much will the shipping be to you ? I assume it's the same price across Europe. I think Japandeal is in Sweden. I also read somewhere that they were selling all their stock and than quit with the business.....let's hope that's not true.

AFAIK they are the only supplier of real arcade monitors in Europe (at least at fair prices).

Jeeez....would be very clever if they would put that up on their site !.....

It's pretty clear what they write:

Note! Prices for CRT (fat monitors) calculated WITHOUT FREIGHT - free freight does not apply to that type of monitors!!
(Contact us for questions around this, and for freight quote to your location)

That doesn't sound like "we don't ship them".....

Good luck !

PS, there are shipping companies that can pick up at a location, but I have no idea about costs etc.

Would be very cool if you could find the source of these monitors.... ;)

Hello Fred.
Is it possible that i for example buy 4 or 8 monitors, and the factory ships them directly to me, instead of you?
or will it become to complicated?

Hehe. If you take 1 container - they can ship directly to you. No less. :-)

So... you have to stick with me, if its "a few" (for them)...

Best regards / Fred
i dont have the guts to ask how many monitors there is in a container...
