any monitor that supports 1600x1200 resolution.

you can find these on craigslist.org, a used CRT should do the trick ~ $25.

Does anyone know if widescreen monitors such as dells 20 inch lcds would work? The 20 inch wide is 1680x1050 Pixels. If anybody knows that would be great! thanks.

If the tables are 800x600 like at party, you need 1600x1200. With the dell you'll have 50px of overlap.

For an LCD I think you're looking at 21" or greater to get 1600x1200. With a CRT, you just have to make sure the resolution is supported by the monitor. That being said, a 17"-19" monitory at 1600x1200 is very hard to read. Also large CRT's (> 17") are a b-tch. Take up a lot of room, burn lots of power, generate lots of heat.

FYP. Also, for widescreen, you need 24"+ for no overlap (excluding the Party beta, of course).
