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

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
