Title: Anyone know if a 25" monitor will fit in a DK?
Post by: javeryh on April 29, 2009, 04:02:47 pm

I'm most likely going to go with the 19"er but I'm just wondering...

It'll probably squeeze in there, but you wont be able to use the bezel. I've put 27" monitors in two different 25 inch cabs and mainly just had to trim some wood in the back or top and make new mounts to set them back further.

I think for something as nice as a Nintendo cab, I'd go with the 19.

DK on a 25" looks pretty weak IMHO.   If you're going vertical it will fit...i've seen it done.  Horizontal... doubt it.

I'm definitely going vertical... and I'm 99.9% sure I'm going with a 19" monitor.   :cheers:

I have a 25" horizontal in my DK Jr. cab FYI.  I should state that it was mamed when i bought it but it's in there snug .

Guess its a matter of loving the pixels... I play it on a 27" vert and think it looks cool.  :)

yeah - I never should have said anything...  >:D

I'm in the middle of restoring a DK so that's why I'm going to go with the 19" original size but I am taking a few liberties in the restoration to "improve" on the original (mainly no bolts through the side art) so I was just curious...
