Title: Help finding Monitor that will fit in my cab
Post by: twitami on November 04, 2006, 05:26:59 pm: So I am stripping a Hacked Neo geo cabinet I have (not an original, as the back of the unit has an Atari Sticker..no clue what game it was). Anyway, it had a Med Res 25" monitor in it (which is in sorry shape). So, I was thinking of the Betson or billabs 27", but after removing the old one...I do not think those will fit. There is exactly 231/2" space from side to side, and the old monitor was 23" wide. Does anyone make a 25" monitor liek the D9200 or Betson 27"?

What was wrong with your old monitor?

Currently there are no *new* 25" monitors for sale (unless you can find some NOS). Wells Gardner has started making 24.8" monitors in their place. You can find the reason why with a search.

It needed a cap kit, the picture was fuzzy (adjusted the focus, no help), and it was scratched on the glass.

They sell a tri mode 25" monitor (well 24.8" like everyone else now, but let's call it 25" it's easier). Not quite the same as a D9200, but it's as close as you can get in a 25" that I'm aware of.

The website is way out of date, just e-mail them.
