I agree abou the sizes thoug, I was so surprised when I was at Funspot and playyed all those classics, that cabs like Pac Man, Galaxian etc. were so small.But they're still the same size, it's me who's bigger now....

Another thing: in 1980, a 19" monitor was freaking large !!! Home TV's didn't have the sizes they have now, and also computer screens were tiny. I started with a very tiny B/W tv as my monitor for my Atari 600XL. Through the years, we've grown used to bigger and bigger screens....that's why a 19" seems so small today, while it was huge in 1980...

No doubt on that.  I remember the family TV back in the late seventies early eighties was a whopping 19 inches.  I see a 19 inch tv now and it looks tiny.

This might be a good time to note that canadamonitors.com still has the Cornerstone 1500 21" PC monitor for $89 + 15 shipping (CDN... it'll be less in USD).

Hey, I was on topic...mostly. ;D

A 21" pc monitor is roughly the same size diagonally as a 19" arcade monitor.However, the pc monitor is much deeper front to back than an arcade monitor, so it may stick out the back of your cabinet. Also, the curvature of the tube face is different, so arcade bezels will not fit right.
