Hey guys, I have a 20", and a 17" monitor I could use for my build. both are 4:3 Was hoping to get some opinions on which size tends to work best. I am worried the 20" might be too large but at the same time I do not want to feel like my screen is not large enough. Thanks |

Are you going horizontal or vertical orientation? Is this a single player or 2 player bartop? How big is your bar's top? |

17" or smaller. |

How big is your bar's top? --- End quote --- I would like to do a 2 player bartop, which is why I thought the 20" mounted horrizontally would be better. But after playing a few games on my computer I am beginning to wonder if I will be too close to the monitor for a 20". Most of my favorite games are the classics:Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Phoenix, but I do like to mix in some NBA Jam or TMNT also. So I have considered going with a vertical orientation but I worry about having enough room for player 2 when my build changes and my horizontal games looking crappy :-(. As far as how much room I have. I would prefer something smaller but part of me is saying "The bigger the better!" lol. I honestly am so torn. :-( Anyone else have experience with 20" or 17". |

The manual rotation happens at 1:20 in this video. Scott |
