If you had an 19" and 27" TV what would you use?

2) Is 27" monitor overkill when standing so close on a 2 person cab?
3) I don't think the wider cab would increase material cost too much. Is this true?

1. No, 27 inch is WAY better. Mine has a 27 inch TV, and it's awesome.
2. I thought it may be an issue, but it's not at all strangely enough. Plus it's great for if you ever wanna add light gun games.
3. The material cost difference is next to nothing. I wouldn't really worry about that at all in the decision. Unless around 10 bucks makes or breaks your decision.

If you stick the 19" TV in the upright cabinet, you will soon be wishing you had put the 27" TV in instead. Besides, save the 19" for your following project, the bartop cabinet... ;D

I'd have to disagree with this statement. I have a 27" monitor and most vertical games look curved on the left and right sides on my horizontal setup. I was so unhappy with it that I'm in the process of building a new dedicated vertical machine (with a 19" monitor by the way - mounted sideways)

That is interesting you say that... Are you stretching the output (fill the screen)? Or does the tube have an excessive curve?
Well maybe I have a future project with my 19"... Although I'm not sure I can put a Sony trinitron on it's side but that's a problem for later...

I'd say 27". I mounted a 27" TV vertically in a cabinet that would have used a 19" monitor. I had to move the control panel back because it felt too close, but the larger screen is way better.
