Have both in one Cabinet ;D http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=26696.0 |

I tried rotating my monitor before I started building the cabinet to see how games looked both ways. I was shocked at just how much bigger vertical games were on a vertical monitor, even with 4:3 aspect ratio monitor. That's why the only crazy thing I'm taking on for my first cabinet is rigging up a rotating monitor. |

If it is a horizontal game with ~256 pixels or less wide then it can look pretty good on a vertical monitor. Particularly games that don't really matter about keeping the aspect ratio correct. eg Missile Command looks great fullscreen on a vertical monitor. (I'm talking about arcade monitors). |
