Will this monitor work in an MVS?

I'd wait for another response before you plop down the cash, but I'm pretty sure that one would work.

Cool. I can get a used one cheaper but frankly I use my neo so much I'd like a monitor with 0 burn in.

Standard CGA (colour gfx accelerator) monitors use 9 pin D-connector with following pinout:

1 Ground
2 Ground
3 Red
4 Green
5 Blue
6 Intensity
7 (not in use)
8 Horizonal Sync [+]
9 Vertical Sync [+]

They are standard/low resolution 15.75 kHz horizontal and vert refresh of 60 Hz so thats OK.
For jamma/mvs you may have to split the sync out of the game board to get the individual syncs into the monitor, some non jamma boards have this arrangement.- Ive not used this type of monitor before so not sure, email Happ, I would be very surprised if they were selling monitors that would not be plug and play with jamma/mvs.

It's an MVS conversion cab that is jamma. I'm also considering getting a 4 slot board while I'm poking around in there.

Yep, it was converted over from an old atari cab, repainted and jammafied and then neo-fied. This thing uses the wood from back when wood could stop bullets :) I actually think neo looks best on the smaller monitors, because the graphical limitations are far less evident. It's like when they port supernintendo games to gameboy advance sp.

Any idea what Atari cabinet that is? Does it look like the Asteroids cab that's in my sig (see above post)? When you said old Atari that really got my attention so I had to ask. :buttrock:

Hrm, it looks similar, but it was the kind where there were no cuts to the sides, so the side boards go from marquee down to where they come in after the control console.
