Hi,
I currently have a MAME cab with a standard 19" arcade monitor. The cabinet looks like an Atari cab that was later upgraded to a Final Fight machine. I've wired the r,g,b,sync from the VGA directly into the monitor, as have many others here.
Everything works great, except that the monitor is too small!
So I have some questions:
1) Will a 25" TV fit into this (i.e. cabs with 19" monitors) arcade cabinet? As with most 19" monitor cabs, there is a large border around the display, and eyeballing it, I think at least a 25" display would fit.
2) If so, will it fit without having to take the tube out of the TV box?
3) How does the image quality differ between, a TV with s-video and an RGB arcade monitor?
4) Subjective question: is upgrading to a 25" monitor even worth the cost/trouble?
