Issue with rotating monitor and centering inside cabinet

I have been working for the last year on and off on my first arcade cabinet and I wanted to make it as versatile as possible since it will be likely "the one and only".  I have been working on the rotating monitor and having a few issues with alignment. I have the HP2065 monitor.   I have it where in horizontal the monitor is lined up perfectly in the cabinet.  However when I rotate the monitor to vertical position the monitor is about 5/8 inch off to one side with respect to the cabinet shell.  I did notice the VESA mount on this particular monitor is about 1/2" lower from being in perfect center.  I didn't know if this was the issue or if anyone else had experienced centering issues when rotating their monitor.

Thanks for a great forum and community.  I look forward to any insight, and I am su :)re I will have more questions as I progress.. :)

Simple solution, rotate it back to normal position, raise (or lower?) the monitor 5/8". Fixed.

I guess I was thinking if I moved the monitor to the left in vertical position then rotated back to horizontal, then horizontal will not be centered.  I don't think there is a solution as much as I was wondering if anyone had ran into this issue before.  I think for the most part it will be in horizontal orientation for 70 percent of the time so I am focusing on that.

Thanks for the input, I will try to lower or raise the monitor in horizontal and see how that affects the vertical position.

you have inspired me to invent something, passing the idea over to Haruman now  :cheers:
