Should you always go with the biggest monitor you can cram in there?

I'm using a 32" television from about 3.5 feet away. It's too big. When playing Robotron, I actually have to turn my head to see the whole screen to make sure I don't leave any humans on the board. In my opinion, a 17" will look great. Especially being an LCD where a 17" really means 17 inches and not 16" viewable.

my example may be an extreme example of too big, but I'd suggest that a 17" would be fine and a 19" wouldn't be bad either. Neither of those monitors would be considered too small.

That's what I'm leaning towards but I should probably add that I'm building a mini (80% scale) using the Ms. Pac-man plans so 17" should look big enough...  It probably doesn't matter in the end.

ChadTower:

It really won't matter that much... go with a better LCD over a bigger one.  That will matter more.

19" large cabinet and 17" for the mini.  That should do it!
