Arcade monitor vs TV questions

<< < (2/2)

Manig,

I'm a good person to answer this since I did exactly what you asked.  I had an old Atari cab (missile command) and removed the 19" monitor and replaced it with a 25" TV.  I actually had to remove the TV from the housing to install it.  BUT, I believe my cab is a bit less wide than many 19" cabs.  My cab opening is 23.5."

The thing you have to do is measure, plain and simple.  There are thousands of cabs and they come in varying widths.  Also, some TV's housing is larger than others. So measure the inside width of your opening as well as height and then look at some 25" s-video tv's and measure them.

I really wish I could have kept it in the housing because it would have made mounting easier.  It would have also been a lot easier to move because I could just remove the TV and move them separately.  I'm moving out of here soon and moving a 600 lbs. cabinet is not fun.
