New To MAME
 
I'm just in the early stages of building my first full size MAME arcade machine.

Does any one have any recommendations for the best TV to use. I will need a 25" or 27" for my size cabinet.

Oh and hi to Dwight. Chris V. told me to say hello.

I'm not sure, but you might find this multi-part series on building a full size MAME cabinet useful

new MAME Game
 
How to add new MAME Game in MAME32?

Use the largest monitor you can afford. You will find many games don't
use the full screen, and in fact some use less than 50% of it. I built
mine with a 27" CRT monitor and thats the smallest I'd use if building
another MAME machine.

Here's a problem

Modern cabinets are designed for vertical monitors. Ms Pac, Galaga, Asteroids, Frogger, the majority of classic 80s games did this. Williams had a few that used horizontal monitors...like Defender. But most of them were vetical. In the 90's there was a jump to horizontal. So some games are going to be pillarboxed.

I've got customers who have two systems...a vertical multicade machine and a PC based Mame system for the rest of games.
