Can anyone measure their 19" computer monitor for me?
« on: July 09, 2005, 11:33:25 am »
I'm deciding whether to replace my arcade monitor (19") with a regular computer monitor (19").

The only issue I can think of is making the computer monitor fit inside my jamma cab. 

could someone give me some measurements (width, height, depth) of a 19" computer monitor?

cheers

quite often, the blue colour on the screen dissappears.  getting it back involves wiggling the female connector on the monitor's mainboard. just a bit annoying.

Have you resoldered the monitor connector on the main board?


Later,

not yet - do you think that's worth a try first?

how tricky is it getting the monitor's PCB out to solder?

wiggling other bits near the monitor connection also brings the screen back
