monitor size

So I have decided on a tv for my standup machine. There are a couple local trinitron monitors available. 24" and 27" both flat screen with component and s-video, in excellent shape. I also already have a 21" crt monitor with an excellent picture.

So for those that have experienced it, what is the sweet spot for monitor size. The cabinet will be two player so there needs to be enough room in the design to accommodate that with good viewing. I would think the 21" crt would be too small. 27" will definitely necessitate a larger cabinet. I dunno any opinions?

Bigger is better.

I though size doesn't matter!  :-[

adder:

if u are standing close to the screen, 19"-21" is about right in my opinion
usually bigger monitors are found in cabs where u stand back, eg light gun cabinets

I've had several cabs with different sized monitors and 25 is definately the sweet spot. Gives you a decent size on vertical games too.

Comes down to what you prefer tho. Try them out. Maybe the picture quality stands out on one screen more than the others.
