21" rotating CRT would be my first choice if quality is the primary goal. 21" non-rotating CRT would be my first choice if easy implementation is the primary goal. 17" rotating LCD would be the easiest rotating installation. |

I have a 19" on a PC at the house, and Galaga & MSPAC look pretty darn good on there rotated :). I'd say as close to the original size arcade as I can get easily :). |

To not let this get out of hand, I am curious. How is a LCD not quality? This isn't to hijack, so my vote goes with 21 inch LCD. Lightweight and absent of inherent problems associate with CRT. Though having quick response time along with high contrast ratio...at least 1000:1 along with having at least 1280 resolution. After that, you have a very good looking purely digital display. Rotating a CRT physically would be too demanding in the long run. CRT design just wasn't meant for that. Though in retrospect, most anything rotating will break down eventually. I am almost with alot of people in this view. A dedicated cab for verticals if that is your pleasure. |

Either 17" rotating or 21" regular. The only reason to do the 17" rotate would really be to watch it physically rotate and to decrease the depth of the cab. In terms of physical viewing size, there isn't much gained on the 17" lcd. With the 17" you would have 17" viewed vertically and horizontally with the rotation. On the 21" crt, you would get the 21" viewed horizontally, and a simulated 15.75" viewed vertically with black bars. A tinted plexi would make it look like a regular vertical. So not much increase in viewing size on either. |
