ArcadeDepot cocktail cab monitor suggestions

[gizmo1990]

I'm putting this together finally and so will be needing a monitor. I'd love to use a proper monitor rather than chuck a cheap flat panel in it but am scared off by the scary stories of prices and electrocution!

Could I get a new or reconditioned arcade montor in the UK for max £200? And fit it safely myself.

Any tips advice, monitor suggestions greatly appreciated.

What are you putting in the cab?  Mame or a dedicated game?  If mame you'll likely want to find sonething like a Wells Gardner d9500 if it takes a 19" display since it supports all the game resolutions that you'll likely care about. You mght have to find a used or new-old-stock one since they stopped making them. I'm sure there are many other options. Hopefully some others will chime in.

Thanks for the reply Garymct.

Yeah it'll be mame. A 19" Well n Gardner sounds great but where to get one!? I've been on to Happcontrols.com in the UK and they're telling me they don't do em any more?

Can anyone offer me any help?

I managed to get one on eBay, but the haven't been showing up much there. I got two more by posting in the buy/sell section of the KLOV forum that i was looking for them.

Good luck on your search!
