Yeah, I'm thinking of contacting the seller and seeing if he/she is willing to negotiate. This may very well be a chance I shouldn't let slip away...so we'll see. Bit of a long drive, though (and close to NY).

I drove a solid 90 minutes each way for a few of my PVMs but the price was right.
Spoken like a true prodigy
What is cool is that you do not need to have the 'master' monitor switched on for the one daisy chained in to recieve an image.
Picture shows a BVM-14M4DE and a BVM-9044D. In case anybody is on the fence as to whether its worth getting the smaller models e.g. a 9" screen I say HELL YEAH
Picture quality is really sharp, they are really compact and fit well on a desk - nice ticket for solo gaming if space is an issue. Just be sure to get one that has RGB in since a lot of the smaller ones don't. My one has RGB and is a HR-Trinitron but does not have a built in speaker - easily sorted with a small soundbar or pair of stereo speakers since the mono speaker usually onboard the PVM / BVM's isn't that hot anyway.

I just went to pick up two of the NEC 27" monitors. not xm29 but cm29 I believe. Can't find any docs online about em, but they do have RGBS BNC input.
I could only test them there with composite video, but I'm about to dig out a dreamcast that I made a custom cable for which should use clean sync. We'll see what happens... They looked to be in decent shape just testing with cvid

Here is my current setup. PVM 2950Q for the console stuff, and a PVM 1953MD for the supergun. I wish the 2950Q would have better sync like the smaller one, but works fine with all consoles when I use a sync stripper. Found both locally for $40 each (TekYard).

aw shit son... tested one of the two NEC CM-2791's I was just lucky enough to save from recycling. It would not sync with my dreamcast even though I made a custom cable with csync directly. The cable has always worked great on my PVM, so I was getting discouraged, but I tried a JAMMA board and it worked!

My second came from you.
I'm absolutely loving the 20" PVM skate, totally worth driving up to get it. Once I tweak my setup the way I want it I'll snap some pics.

Can't even do it lol. Too incredible of a chance to let one go.
Anyway, a guy posted on shmups, adderall pinged me, I went and got them. They were literally about to be recycled by MSU.

When I get a few I'll photo / document them. Will probably make a thread for it. The dips are mapped on the back, even has a SoG dip.
DC is being wierd. If I put the monitor on cvid mode, and plug my csync in to the AV in, it gets a very faint perfectly synced monochrome picture, but RGB won't sync with it. I may need a lm1881, but all the jamma boards I've tried sync just fine.

When you say tweaking the colors, what do you mean?

I fiddle with the pots on the inside on the chassis.
