| 32 inch CRT. Too big? |

| Vigo:
If this is a TV with standard hookups, I would think you could just test it out. Can you just grab something with VGA output, like a nintendo, and just try playing 15-20" from the screen? See if it gets difficult or not. I personally never had a problem with too big of a screen, but I guess my crappy eyesight is either the cause or effect of that. |

I agree--32" is pretty big for a cabinet. I have a 27" in my MAME cab (based on a Simpsons cabinet) & I wouldn't want to go any bigger when I'm standing that close to it. Thanks, -Jason |

I've got a 27" and there are some games that require me to move my head and not just my eyes to see the action. I would think the rule should be if you have to move your head to see the screen comfortably, then it's just too big. |

I won't go showcase cab, they just take up too much space. I do like the size of the screen for gun games though. I may ditch it and see what else is around. CRT TV's are easy to find, but finding one with auto power on and s video is harder than I thought. |

If you have a console lying around, hook it up and sit a couple feet away from the screen and try playing. Then you'll know if you like it or not. |
