>The fact that most of the 80s arcade monitors were 4:3 ratio. A friend of mine rebuilt an arcade cabinet recently and his solution was to just rotate the display 90 degrees and offset it a bit to get it to fit. It might not be a valid solution for mini-cabinets since they were pretty tightly packed but according to him it was a pretty easy fit in this one. The bigger problems were LCD processing latency and scaling. Most TVs that would fit were cheaper models (I guess it's getting harder to find sub 50" mid-range TVs) so they have a decent bit of processing latency even in "gaming" mode. But I don't think there's really a solution to the scaling problem without much higher resolution LCD panels because non-integer scaling is always going to have some shimmer when scrolling.
