Angled Monitor and AimTrak?
« on: February 12, 2010, 06:42:41 pm »
This is my cab: http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7203/fullcabinet.jpg

I'd love to add some light guns to it (Area 51 is one of my all-time favorite games), but my monitor is at an angle and I want to make sure light guns would be able to work with it since much of what I've seen have been monitors mounted perpendicular to the floor, not angled. I'd also have to be standing fairly close to the screen (basically right in front of the cab) to play as with an angle like that standing back 3-4 feet just wouldn't work.

So, any advice from those familiar with the AimTrak and/or have angled monitors?

I have an angled monitor but not quite that steep(I'll have to take pics). It works great...I would imagine you being close to the cab would't be a problem not for the guns sake but would be tough to see what your aiming at since the monitor is at such an angle.

Maybe someone here has run these at a steep angle?
