monitor for mame question

[squizz]

 Hello

  i'm about to build a mame cabinet which i would like to  install an arcade monitor into it.

  so the question is this.
  after installing an arcadevga card , what monitor will be the best bet to go with, atm the cabinet will be an x turtle cab, which has a blown 26in installed , so i would like to get another 26in monitor.

  so now over to you experts  
 
  Thanks

What is "blown" in the monitor it has now? Most monitors are fixable. I wouldn't just give up on a monitor that size without at least trying to fix it.

You should get a standard resolution arcade monitor.

  The tube is caputt
  and too many other things to fix on the board.
 was seen by an arcade tech and was told to throw it away.

 And how does the arcadevga look running pacman and pengo etc games.
  can you get them to fill the top and bottom of a horizontal screen ?
 thanks

I have often wondered about vertical games displayed horizontally on an arcade monitor. They have simply got to be losing some resolution.
