| Anyone used a 19" LCD replacement monitor in a Midway Cocktail? |

I'm really wanting to build a Midway Cocktail cabinet. Been looking around and am thinking of trying the 19" LCD drop-ins instead of a CRT since 19" CRTs are getting hard to find and also it would be a lot lighter. Just wondering how well they work, I'm assuming a flatscreen 19" bezel would work wouldn't it? Also, from my experience with LCDs vs. CRTs, a 19" LCD would be exactly 19" of diagonal viewable screen while a 19" CRT would be an inch or two less because of how the tube works. Does this have any factor in the design? |

Holy Crap that looks nice. Can I ask what monitor you used? I'm looking at a Vision Pro CGA/VGA http://www.happ.com/monitors/49260310.htm What did you use for a bezel? |

Nice cab! I wouldn't personally pay $300+shipping for a 19" LCD. I'm not sure of the advantage that model has other than nice mounts, but you can pick up a used one of CL or ebay for a fraction of that (maybe free!). |

Mint. What kind of 19inch monitor did you use? Is it a 4:3 ratio? Looks awesome Great job on it --- Quote from: Sjaak on August 16, 2010, 01:31:09 pm ---I built a midway cocktail with a 19" lcd. --- End quote --- |
