I like the idea of getting a bigger LCD that will equal about a 4:3 24" or so . . but is there a cheaper option besides the Fujitsu P27T-6 or Dell U2711? Those prices are out of control! |

The cheapest you're probably going to do in that size is a 30" 16X9 television or a 28" 16:10 monitor. I think the 16X10 monitors are still pretty pricey, so the TV might be your cheapest route. Issue here will be finding a panel that has good viewing angles. You might want to consider the Wells Gardner replacement arcade LCDs. You can get a 32" widescreen which would make your 4:3 viewing area just over 26". It comes at a cost though.. the internal dimensions of your cab need to be at least 28" wide. http://patriotgaming.com//catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10_655_969&products_id=4488&osCsid=719b3905570de7b104a186a6ec205a92 |

It's large enough that vertical games are large 'full sized' and has enough lines of resolution to display them as such with no loss of resolution. Dreamcast/Naomi games look pretty damn sweet too. |

Still far too pricey, but thanks. How about a 24" monitor? Would the 4:3 size be about a 21"? |

A 24" will give you more like 19.5: http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x9-vs-19,5-inch-4x3 Here's a 27" for $260 after a coupon good until 5/23: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824016155 That would give you around 22" of 4:3 space: http://www.displaywars.com/27-inch-16x9-vs-22-inch-4x3 |
