I'm assuming he means CGA or in other words standard resolution arcade monitor.

I dont know if they made 21" color tubes for arcade. 19 and 20 for sure, and of course 25.  

Now if you mean VGA, then yes, there are 21" VGA tubes.

If a 21" standard res (CGA) tube exists, then it was never used in the arcade industry. Arcade industry used 19" mainly, and a scant few monitor manufacturers (Nanoa), used 20" ones.

Although if you are basing the 21" idea on how large your 21" PC monitor is, then you are in luck, since a 19" arcade monitor is the same size.

sells a 21"cga monitor. but your order must be a minimum of 200 dollars. And one monitor cost 139 dollars.. so basically you can't order just one monitor
