Would this be a good choice for mame cab monitor?
« on: October 30, 2008, 07:17:11 pm »
Hello.
I've just started planning my first mame cab and I've been racking my brains over what monitor to use. I'm not too woried about an authentic looking arcade picture, so I sort of decided a TFT PC  monitor would be best (space is also a factor, and I figured a TFT monitor would mean a smaller cab).
There are still some 4:3 monitors available here in the UK but the choice is limited. Large monitors like 27" are very expensive so I decided on a smaller, rotating monitor.
I found this one, priced quite cheaply and wondered what people thought it might be like: LG W22345S  its a 22" widescreen with a TN screen. I was wondering if the screen ratio is ok, or would I be better looking for a 4:3? Also any comments on the spec would be greatly appriciated.

22" WS LCD would work fine. Take a look at a great project using one (Not LG but 22" WS LCD):
