PC CRT Monitor Display on its side?
« on: December 06, 2017, 11:43:50 am »
Hi, I was planning to use a PC CRT monitor in a vertical cab.  Before I mount it on its side, I thought I would ask if this would damage the monitor since it probably wasn't designed to work in that orientation?  Thanks for your replies.

I've been running one like that for 10+ years without issue.
