I don't think you'll have much trouble getting rid of any XRGB. They hold their value pretty well.

and it does the thing that Scanline Simulator does?

I really just don't want to buy like 49320 things to hook up just to play China warrior on a 55" TV and have it not look like a smeared abortion

The SLG3000 only accepts 31khz (VGA) input.  Won't work by itself with a PCE.  If you don't care about arcade pcbs, just get an XRGB-2plus.  As it's typically the cheapest.  The 3 outputs in HD, but it's Japanese HD.  So, a lot of USA TVs will not work with it's odd 1125p output.  Also in HD mode you can't use the scan lines anyway.  The only reason to buy a 3 over a 2/2+ is if you are using a console that outputs in 480p (Gamecube, Xbox, some ps2).

You are still going to have to mod the PCE though, so you might as well just mod the it and use your commodore monitor.  15khz RGB CRT will never be beaten.

I thought it accepted composite and was acceptable enough with the line doubling and scanlining and whanot

I dunno if my Sony can handle japanese HD. 

Alot of things can beat a 15khz RGB monitor, when the screen is that f*ckin tiny.  lol

Playing Valis on a 15" monitor is pretty damn lame.

15"?!? My Apple IIGS RGB (also 15khz) monitor is like 10". Not that I've ever hooked it up to anything but the IIGS.

Scoot a little closer to the screen and you'll be immersed into Yuko's adventure. Trust me.

You know what I wish I had?  Remember those old SNES Kiosks at Toys R Us?  I remember the scan-lines on them looking so clean that I always wondered what kind of TVs they used.
