Wondering what the actual screen size of a 19" happ arcade monitor??

About 15" high, and 12" across.

As pcb hinted, arcade size is actual viewable size, like TVs.  Computer monitors don't have to list the viewable size, so the CRTs list the tube size.

So a 22" PC CRT is about the same as a 19" arcade monitor.
