Is the viewing area of a 17'' arcade monitor the same as a 17'' PC monitor? Also, were most of the classic verticle monitor games run on a 17'' monitor. |

Unless you get a flatscreen LCD PC monitor....these have true size ratings. Most classic arcade monitors are 19" -Andy |

I haven't tried yet, but if you free the pc-monitor from its housing, the viewable area should be the same, as there most likely some picture get lost in the case. --- Quote ---Most classic arcade monitors are 19" --- End quote --- Yep, I really would consider to go with 19", for its the real thing! :D A arcade-monitor (or an WellsGardner U3100) would look most perfect for arcade-games, but not for windows. |
