19" is the PERFECT size for a classic cab.

19" arcade monitors are bigger than 19" computer monitors. You won't believe me until you go and measure them for yourself. I'll wait.

19 is the new 21 :)

"viewable image" vs. tube dimensions.

Somewhere in the early nineties monitor manufacturers stopped using how big the picture is and moved to how big the tube is.  A 1989 Apple 12" monitor is the same size as a 1993 Apple 13".

So, yeah.  There you go.  Buy a bigger computer monitor to fit the "same" size arcade monitor's space.

I'm glad they don't seem to be able to get away with this for LCD's!
