Ok. On my cab there's an 25" Hantarex MTC9110. For test I use a 14" Sony TV Scart-RGB connection, and for the new cab a 21" PC monitor in Vertical position.

Greets.

I am trying to configure a Princeton Arcadia Monitor ( CRT/TV combo). Any suggestions for my game to display correctly ?

Well at the moment im using a 25" WG k7000 in my cab. But have just got a VGA to SCART cable and have test it out on my 30" TV, and the picture quality has blown me away!, the picture quality is identical to my WG via the scart socket on the TV (i know this is not the same if using other connection types), infact the picture on the TV is far superior that the WG monitor, but then i guess the monitor is probably 15yrs old! So i shall be using this setup when i begin work on my new cab, just have to wait for the weather to get warmer!

Im using a PC monator right now but im doing some tv with a few tvs. A larger monitor is a must for me. I want an arcade one but I can afford one.

I use a mixture of everything

50" Arcade monitor (Sega Megalo 2)
several 29" arcade monitors (Capcom Impress, Sega Naomi Universal, Sega Astro City 2)
several Scart TV's (14", 25" & 29" )
VGA 31k 19" LCD monitor (running 15k JAMMA games in 31k via an XRGB2)
26" LCD TV/Monitor - running consoles in VGA using XRGB2+, but mainly used as a PC monitor

I got one from ebay,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15067&item=5871287405

just need to solder pin 13&14 together on the VGA end to get it to work correctly with the VGAarcade card (dont think u need to do this if using any other type of card), but other than that can fault it!

I use a Betson 27". The pixels/allignment is screwy at the bottom and bottom right, but it's only really noticable in color vector games at the far corners. Otherwise, with an arcadeVGA card, it works like a charm. I threw in a few PC fans pointed at the neck of the thing, to keep it cool and extend the lifespan. Forgot who recommended that tidbit.
