For a three monitor setup: What would be the recommended size for a backbox monitor if I were to pair it with a 32 inch display? Would a 20 inch (16:9) be too small? In your opinion, how much does a backbox's width should extend over the playfield's box?

20 to 22 inch 16:9 LCD

 

You can find older used ones in that size cheap
 

Resolution 1600x900, which is perfectly fine for a backglass


This is a 32" PF and 20" BG

I noticed this as well when I was looking for monitors of this size. Looks like it works fine for a BG. Thanks for the advice!
