So a 32-40" tv turned vertically is out for you?     >:D

For years I gamed on a 15" Dell LCD monitor and honestly had zero problems.
No blur ect.
Just run the desktop at native LCD resolution & you should be good.
The monitor is close to 10yrs old & still works.
Except for the backlights.
If I ever get around to replacing them.

I also have an HP 19" 4:3 monitor hooked up to my PENTIUM 3 mame system I will use in my  classic vertical cab.
Looks damn good if i say so & even better with the scanline generator.
even not at native res.
no input lag or ghosting.

Yes, when I can get a Samsung Syncmaster 21" 4:3 for around $100. If I did use a widescreen monitor, the only way I would use it is vertically.

I no love the MKs, bro, but I have no problem with the cabinet. It's proportions fit the 4:3 screen. It's 3 1/2-4 foot wide cabinets I find no bueno.

My cab with a 27" wide screen is 28" wide total.. 4" wider than your 2 foot max, and while it IS a little "fat", it isn't like those ones you see with 32 or 40" horizontally mounted screens.  If only you could buy a commercially available 26" 4:3 LCD screen.. it would be all I would use.
