Monitor Size...
« on: November 15, 2005, 02:20:39 am »
Hi. This is my first post, so please bear with me.

I'm planning to build a MAME cab, just a two player basic deal. I'd like to run mostly Street Fighter and of the like. I have a spare 17" Sylvania monitor I'd like to use for it. Will this suffice for a decent 2 player cab, or do I have to invest in something larger?

I would scour your local classifieds for a second hand 21" monitor. Personally I don't think a 17" is big enough.

17" is what is being used in the video "slot" machines at the Indian casinos.
