I am building my first cocktail cabinet and feel like i have read about 50 different sites worth of information. I have been contemplating the monitor purchase and possibly will end up using my 17" ctx monitor in the short term but have been looking into a 19".
I've noticed over the past year or so, through various searches in the forums that WG may not be as great/dependable as it used to be. On a number of sites I've seen reference to the Vision Pro SVGA monitor over on the Happ site...but when i go there, i only really see the CGA monitor:

..on to my question(s) [which isn't the same "which monitor should I use?" question many people ask :) ]
which monitor on the happ site is the vision pro SVGA monitor?
(do they possibly no longer make a CRT version of it?)
I may want to also utilize this cabinet eventually as a jukebox or possible to browse the internet, but first and foremost it is an arcade cab..so a higher resolution is what i would like, but i want the 'authenticity' of an older monitor as well.
also..for the cocktail cab i should be looking at the "shelf mount"? this looks more like it is meant to be mounted facing up rather than the one above

Any help is appreciated.
Also, any feedback on the Vision Pro monitor is appreciated as I haven't found many reviews on it/them.
Thanks!
