I think this is a good idea. Especially as it allows for rotation.
Now, who keeps a list of current suitable 4:3 screens ?

I can only attest to monitors I've purchased, but keep an eye out on eBay for these models:
Samsung SyncMaster 214T
Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP
HaRuMaN:
+1 for the Dell 2001FP. 178 viewing angle all around, rotateable, and has DVI, VGA, Svid, and composite inputs. :applaud:
BadMouth:
widescreen Taito Type X fighting games
Fighting games on Steam
If you aren't interested in those, then the only perk is multiple monitor games in MAME. :dunno

Widescreens can rotate. It just takes a wide-ass cabinet. :P

This rings a bell.
I probably thought why pay more for less pixels, when I can just hide the extra on the sides behind the bezel graphics.
