Are there any 27'' tv's that are less than 25''wide out there?

Thanks, I'm surprised the 25" bezel fit that well too.  I'm very happy with the picture.  I have the Sapphire 9600 with the Monoprice dvi-component dongle.  I run at 640x432 for my windows resolution.  I need to force mame to run at that resolution because I get a little overscanning but I haven't changed that yet.  Yes it does remember the last input when you turn it back on.  It doesn't automatically turn on when you plug it in though.  I just drilled a small hole through the bezel and glass support and use the remote to turn it off and on.  Attached are a few shots that I took.  Pictures of tv screens never work that well and these are no exception.  ;)

At my girls last night so no chance to check dimensions, but have you looked at old 25" tv's?  The screen width should be 1 1/2" shorter so the sides would be that must too.  It is becoming harder and harder to find tube tvs with the speakers on the bottom in stores.  You might swing by some pawn shops.

Also, do you own a router?  It would be pretty easy to trim off 3/8" on each side.  It would also aid in holding the tv in place.  You could reinforce the other parts of the cab with some bracing if need be.  This would also make you picture look sweet as it would be almost to big for the cab.  Since the part of the tv that is too wide is just the front portion, you really would only need to trim off a 5" x 20" x 3/8" chunk of cabinet.

Why bother with all that when you can just get a 24" which would more appropriately fit your cabinet?

Checked out my 27" tv and it is 25 3/8", but my 25" tv was 24 3/8" wide.  All depends if you are looking to save money and get an old tv or spend a little more for a new one.
