Can standard 25" arcade monitor play medium resolution games like NFL Blitz..?

[DGP]

Just wondering if something special is required on the chassis board for games like NFL Blitz/NBA Showtime to play on their Medium resolution setting or if a standard Arcade monitor can be used.

Is there some sort of mod/addition that is required or does it require an entirely different display that is specific to medium resolution games.

I am picking up a 25" CRT arcade monitor tomorrow (seller says it was pulled from a 4 slot Neo Geo, as far as he knows). I am hoping to use it in my Blitz/Showtime cab.

If not then I'll put it in my MVS cab (already been nicely converted to LCD). 

Thank you for any relative information, your time is appreciated.

you need a medium res monitor for a medium res game. NFL Blitz has a dip switch to make it display in standard resolution, so while the monitor wont display blitz in medium res, it will display it in standard res.

Yeah that's about what I figured, bummer. It's sad that the older arcade crt's are not capable of multiple resolutions (scan rates).

I am aware of the low/medium setting on Blitz/Showtime but it looks horrible on the low setting when compared to medium. 

Thanks for the confirmation Malenko, much appreciated.

Look up tri res monitor and you will see that there are some capable of doing that.

Well it turned out the monitor that I bought is actually a 27" so it does not bolt up. 
 
I got an RCA A68AEG25X 05 tube and a Neotec NT-29c chassis.

It's in fantastic shape and I would love to use it but not sure if there is a way to get it in the Midway cab..?

Are there different mounting adapters?

* I found the threads where people have modified the brackets to fit the 27's.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!!!
