Most arcade cabinets I've seen have used something more like 20" screens, not
13" ones, though I suppose that could be fixed by moving the screen so that
its reflection would be bigger.
But don't arcade games use 15KHz screens usually?

Then again they're easier to get than other screens. And more versatile, of
course.

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
If the designers of X-Windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five
steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same
principles -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful
feature, that.
