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

i'm torn on this subject....i guess it depends on the cabinet you are putting it in. my first cabinet has a 19" LCD, it was a simple 2 player cabinet. i didn't build it, i used an empty cabinet i picked up cheap, it originally had a 19" arcade monitor, so the 19" fit well. you'd never get a 27" monitor in there. i later came across a 27" tv that i wanted to use in a cabinet. i was going to put in in a cut-corner dynamo cabinet, but i found that in a standard type cabinet, it felt too close, it was hard to focus on. i ended up putting it in a showcase cabinet and it worked out great. having played alot of arcade games recently, alot of them with large monitors seem to hurt my eyes when they are so close. so for a standard upright, i'd prefer a smaller monitor. |

S-video is more than good enough for playing games. It actually looks really good. You will just need to enlarge the font sizes for navigating in Windows. Definately gor for the 27". And if you really want to do something special, decase it and go for a dedicated 27" vertical cab. If you're into shmups, like I am, you can't go wrong with that setup. |

Besides, save the 19" for your following project, the bartop cabinet... ;D --- End quote --- damn your avatar now I really want some cheesecake :angry: --- End quote --- :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: |

My cabinet started life as a Simpsons long ago, which used to have a 25" monitor. I fit a Betson 27" monitor in there with just a little hacking. I love it. Nice & big, and vertical games look good too. My control panel is rather large (which sets me back a few inches from the monitor), & my monitor is angled a bit, so I don't feel too close to the screen. I don't ever plan on building another cab, so I went big all around, to try to accommodate as many types of games & controllers as possible. ;D Thanks, -Jason |
