I admit I used to lust after some Sony broadcast monitors back in the day. The colors were beautiful.

There is an old trick to burn out a screen burn, but I don't know if you can run another video source into an arcade monitor.

The GOUT bypassed the problems inherent in an LD transfer. (A couple low rent outfits like Full Moon have allegedly released some of their films straight off an LD capture.) With a non anamorphic letterbox master, you have to take into account how many scanlines a 2:35.1 movie is actually using. Those larger letterbox bars are wasted dead space in a DVD encode.
