So the other day I decide to turn my arcade machine on and play it alittle, after that i jumped on the computer and then took a nap forgetting that i left the machine on...
Well it was on for about 2 hours and I awoke from the nap to a loud snap then a burning circuit board type smell I checked my room to see what it was cable box, computer, ect, Then i remembered I left my arcade machine on. The screen was completely dead but i still got sound and the light was still on on top.
I opened all the windows to my room and turned on a fan to get the smell out, Later once the smell was cleared out of my room me and my friend carefully removed the CRT. (something in my older threads i was afraid to do.) Anyway its out now and i was wondering whats the best way to get a new one?
I seen them going for like $200 off ebay

This looks perfect but my game is vertical so I am not sure
my other option is my friend wants me to get a RGB to VGA converter and just get a LCD monitor and do it that way, but i am unsure about how its going to work power wise and visual wise.
here are the converters
