Laid Back?
mahuti:
I can't think of one cabinet with a laid back monitor that has a smaller footprint than an upright like a defender cabinet with a horizontal or vertical monitor. Maybe if you took a defender box and angled the monitor back you might be able to save an inch or two if it was in a very specific position. I don't know. I'd love to see some comparisons using a standard 19" vertical monitor.
erictrumpet:
The more you lean back the monitor, if you have a deeper-than-original (front-to-back dimension) CP -- with lots of controls -- then that would effectively make you have to stand farther from the screen, which might be awkward if the screen is leaned back too far. It would have to have LESS lean-back angle in order to still maintain the eyeline-perpendicularicity (new word? lol) described by Martoon above -- especially if you are short like me (5'7").

You and I both have Defender cabs and there is not a whole lot of room from the back door to the neck board. I also have a ms. pac (converted from QIX) that is laid back. You loose lower cabinet space with the laid back version. I am really leaning towards 19 in. vert, laid back, -w- computer uncased. (Wow, why did that sound like a starbucks order?)

Hey, I was also considering a laid back monitor, much like the one found in newer golden tee games. The only concern I had was with the compatibility of light guns. Do you think that the angle would affect accuracy?
(sorry to steal your thread)

That's a good question and definitely fits here.
