Vertical Screen

[cigardude]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about doing a small vertical bartop and was wondering if anyone used a wide screen for the vertical or do you just use a normal 4:3 screen? Any drawbacks from using the widescreen rotated? I have a notebook that would make a really good mame machine.

Thanks!

I would use and have use a 4:3 screen wide screen is to skinny and to long. I did this with my 32 in lcd tv and was disapointed i didnt even relize until i tried. original pacman and verticals are 4:3 screen

Go for 4:3.  Aside from being closer to the original, the already slim bartop is going to look really odd with the skinny widscreen turned in there.

Thanks for the input. I am going 4:3!
