Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
JudgeRob:
If I try it I'll probably do a hardware switch. Same with the monitor if I do a rotating display. I won't downplay the coolness of software, but it seems like a lot of work and potential for software errors, which is the last thing I want with my cab.

What's the biggest monitor size anyone has used with this?
I have my eye on a used Samsung 21.3" but ideally would like a little more real estate. I apprecaite this means that I will need to look at widescreen which obviously comes with it's own width issues.
I notice from the original plan the width of the bezel area is 24" so we would need to restrain it within that or expand (which shouldnt be too tricky). That said, to get significantly more real estate i'd need to be looking at a 28" screen minimum, ideally a bit bigger (tho cost wise if I were going bigger it would probably make sense to jump to a 32" TV which seems too big...)
So... has anyone built a cab with a 32" TV?
I worry it'll look naff and maybe I should just go with the Sammy
Thoughts?

I just picked up a 24" today. Seemed like the biggest widescreen that would fit. The 28" ones were like 24.5" across. I might consider rotating for mine, but I'm not sure it will fit when rotating...

24" is way too small for me... Minimum I'm going is 27" which is equivalent to(a touch taller) a 21" 4x3.
I'm actually leaning towards 28" for the extra height.
Damned if I can find a 16:10 unfortunately so looking at that or still thinking of the 21" Sammy... Just not sure

If you can, I'd definitely try and get hold of a 16:10. Took w while here in the UK, but the extra height worth it imho.
