Hi,
I'm about to build my first mame cabinet and about to post my first topic here

I read a reasonable amount of topics on monitors already and I know some of these questions have been asked yet but mine have a 'twist'..
First of all, my most importent one:
I live in Belgium and here we don't use inches, we use centimeters instead, but! monitor sizes are given in inches, this leads to the fact I find it hard to 'imagine' a 27" or 25" inch television, so a simple product ( 25*2.45 ) tells me a 25" television has a diagonal of +-61 centimeters,... isn't this huge? Most people seem to use this size but my pc monitor ( 17" ) has a +- 41cm diagonal, I'm about 40cm away from it when I work at my computer and this is already big enough! Do I understand the whole tv-size-notation wrong or are you people really playing at screens of 61cm diagonal about 40? 50? cm away?
Second question:
I play to add lightguns later ( the lcd-ones with strips, I'v seen people mentioning them here ) and I wonder, will it work when I place smoked plexi in front of my television? And if my screen is under a slight angle? ( not much 11% or something like that )
Third and last question for now:
I know already I best try to find a television with power return and input remember functions, are there other things I need to watch out for? Frequency-things, or will every television I find witch I can connect ( s-video or other way ) work?
I hope you guys are willing to answer my questions eventough they might have been asked already..
Thx in advance,
Dz
