video of a vertical shooter playing a horizontal fighter?
jipp:
hi, i have a issue. the monitor/tv iv decided to use is 1" to big for my cab. i was gonna cut some slots into the side of the cab to make room for the flat screen. but im wondering if i want to do that when i plan on rebuilding this cab anyhow.. now it will fit if i mount the monitor in vertical. my question is what is it like to play a fighter oon such a screen?
its 26" flat screen. if you have some video footage that be great. im not gonna do anything untill after the football games are over. heh first time in months iv used this tv.. reason iv decided to use it for my cab. anyhow.. got sucked into the saints game.
thank you for any feed back.

Horizontal games will play fine with it mounted vertically assuming the TV has good viewing angles. You will end up with a smaller effective screen size however. I'm not gonna do all the math, but I'll ballpark it. Assuming you have a 16:9 aspect ratio TV, I'm guessing horizontal games in the vertical orientation will be like having a 16 inch 4:3 screen, give or take.
Hope this answers your question. :cheers:

ok, thank you. yeah it has great viewing angles.. that was one of the things that made me buy this. i originally bought this thinking id use it for a pinball machine down the road. honestly had some other idea for a monitor for my cab ( but the monitor i originally bought is just to small for it.. and i ended up using it for my desktop monitor.. and netflix has never looked better). but now, im to the point. i am not using this tv, so will use it in my cab.
thank you once again. new to this stuff.

This isn't a bad setup... I have a 27" CRT in my vert cabinet, but still play Robotron (horizontal) on it because I like the sticks on that machine. With a monitor that size, I don't think you'll be too disappointed.
Never took vid of it playing a horizontal game though, sorry.

so you wanna play vertical games on a horizontal mount?
I have the exact opposite problem.
