Right size for Automated screen

<< < (2/3) > >>

DaOld Man:
I live about 30 miles west of bowling green.
You need to turn that tv vertical to see how the viewing angle is before you invest a lot of time in it.
Also, the cabinet width must be wide enough for the tv to turn, and this measured from the center of the screen, so you have to account for any extra space in the case, top and bottom, using the center of the screen (not necessarily the center of the TV) as the reference point.
Then the cab has to be wide enough to allow for the TV from one corner to the opposite corner.
I have attached a crude drawing that may give you an idea what im talking about.
The center of the screen has to also be the center of the circle.
The circle has to be big enough to accommodate the whole TV case. So the clearance needed to turn will be from point A to point B. This will keep the center of the screen in the center of the cabinet and will have the same distance on either side of the screen.
Points A and B are the clearances needed on the inside of the cabinet, so you have to take into account the thickness of your cabinet walls when figuring total width of the cabinet.

Neogojira:
How far you live from KY Lake?
When I get home I will check all 3 of them and even look at the max size I can make the cab.

I will watching the video of marvel vs capcom: Revolution and I love what he did. But it looks like he removed the the rotation from it

DaOld Man:
Ky lake is about 90 miles from me. I live about halfway between Bowling Green and Hopkinsville. In Logan County. Im also situated about 55 miles north of Nashville, Tn, which is a good thing.
Always something to do in Nashville.
Yeah that Marvel vs Capcom project was cool.

Neogojira:
It may be hard to tell but it looks like it's hard to see when the LCD is seen from the bottom. For both the 19 and the 22. Still need to check the 32. I may have to use the 32 and have it  stationary until I can right the right  Motor to be able to move a 50lbs LCDTV. Sucks. The first image is the LCD from the bottom. The color fades and it's hard to see image.

The other image is  The closets in my game room. I'm thinking about removing the doors and to slide the cab in to it. It is 36" wide. So I do not know if I have the full room to spin the TV. I may need to keep looking. I really wanted to do the 2 TV for the pinball.

The 32 is 27" wide (screen) and 15.5" tall (screen) and 32" wide and 21" tall. I may still be able to do pinball in the mid and 19 at the top or some thing.

It sucks able the  angles but I'm happy you gave me heads up to check for that. I never did think that no one looks at  monitors and TVs from the bottom so they have that issue on older ones.

DaOld Man:
That HP looks like the same one I have. Model HSTND-2A03, except mine is 17"
Im using mine in a bartop Im building, screen does not rotate.
I just checked mine out, and yeah, it looks pretty crappy from the bottom angle.
Good picture straight on though.
I don't know if there is a list on the site of suitable monitors to use for rotation, but we could start one. (I need to search first, someone may have already done the work).
Maybe a list of "rotatable" monitors good and bad.
