Suggestions on Temporary monitor (LCD) while 19" arcade monitor being repaired
y2k600f4:
I have a 19" arcade monitor that was in the cab when I purchased. I plan on looking into if it works or not when I get time (new cap kit if needed etc) but in the meantime I would like to utilize a 19" LCD 4:3 or 5:4 ratio (later can be used on my desktop PC). The problem is that most 19" LCDs are 16:10 especially the ones on sale. I am trying to keep the $ down for now. Any ideas on where to get a cheap 19" (not widscreen) would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure about 19" But I spotted some non-16:10 larger than 19" flat panel monitors at WalMart. Not sure what the ratio was though. I'm also not sure whether they were LCD or plasma.
What caught my eye about them was that they were being sold as television sets, but they sported the more advanced inputs, such as DVI and the like. I didn't look much into them though, so I don't know anything more than that.

I guess cheap is a matter of perspective, but LG makes a 4:3 19". I used one for my bartop. It was $220. Here is the build thread with some pics...

Its not the LCD on the desktop w/control panel, its further down.

I'd pick up a used 21" PC CRT. Cheaper and better picture.
