BEST MONITOR SIZE

[SirPoonga]

I have a 21" PC monitor in mine.  I made room for a 25" arcade monitor which I will try to get in the future.

Hey I do have one question, what are the vert and horiz dimensions of a 19" arcade monitor?  

Most arcade monitors, CRT computer monitors, and TVs (not HDTVs) are a 4:3 aspect ratio wide:tall.  

The screens are measured diagonally, so the measurement is the hypotenuse (5) of a "3:4:5 right triangle"...

To figure the height of a monitor, take its diagonal measurement, devide by 5 and multiply by 3, or just multiply by 60%.  Width is the diagonal devided by 5 and multiplied by 4, or 80%.

So a 19" diagonal screen is 15.2" wide (19*0.8=15.2), and 11.4" (19*0.6=11.4) tall.

</pedantic explanation>

With a little luck, by this time tomorrow, I'll be the proud owner of a free 27" VGA monitor!  How I'm gonna get it in my cab, I don't know...

 What the biggest moniter size anyones got into a didicated 19" cab?  I was measuring my cab(19"dynamo) I think  I can get a 27" tv in there if i were to take the case off. maybe.... Its 24" inches across.

 I have spare 19" tv i was going to throw in there. Only deal with that is it does not have any video inputs just the little rf port. So i would have to buy one of the those little converters and a new video card with tv out. Do those little converters have s-video on them??

Its going to end costing the same if i had just buy a 19" pc monitor.

lots lots of money......... cheapest thing so far has been the cab. Free!!(I found it on the side of the road. no joke)
