I just bought a Sony PVM-2030 monitor from a thrift store for $9. It works just fine and I've done a litttle research on it. It says that I can use the monitor for RGB input. Does that mean I can directly hook up a jamma harness to the back without a converter? If so, how do I do that?

A 2030 is a bitch because it has that 25 pin "computer" connector. If you had a later model with the BNC RGB inputs, it's plug and play, but the 25 pin takes some more work. I have two of these, and I've never been able to get a good picture out of the RGB connector. I just use it on S-video with my JROK and it still looks pretty good.

$9 is a damn good price for an RGB capable monitor. Just getting around that 25pin shit will be a bit of a hassle.

BNC makes like a hell of a lot easier.
