SOLVED: Using vertical LED TV inside cabinet?
Justin:
Hi Scott.
I tested rotating the display and using portrait mode in windows control panel.
The front end works fine this way (hyperspin). However hs does not have the flexibility to entirely shift the display area up or down the screen. It will be centered on the screen and not at the top. This means I will have to set the tv up higher but it is doable.
Also in case I anyone is interested I ran some numbers:
Even using the smaller portion of the 4K display gives you 82% more pixels than the regular 1600x1200 area used on a WUXGA display.
Also the pixels are 41% more packed! (Higher pixel density)
Huge difference this. Even with a rotated 4K screen and a subset of the area used. Not to mention I get vrr and G-Sync as well as ability to view vertical screens just as large as the horizontal ones. Amazing.
Tv is 42" LG C2. The blacks are absolute.

I just want to add for everyone else reading, a 42" OLED TV turned vertically and masked off will provide a 4:3 screen area that's roughly equivalent to that of a 29 inch arcade monitor.

Should this thread be pinned?

No Way near! It is equivalent to a 25.5 inch 4:3

You're right, I did the calculation as if it was masked off for 3:4
