Act-labs lightgun - angled monitor?
« on: February 11, 2005, 10:09:31 pm »
I was wondering if anyone uses an Act-labs PC USB light gun in a cab where the monitor is angled? If so how much does it affect accuracy?

I'm trying to decide between an angled monitor cab or a straight-monitor cab. I've considered cocktail too, but obviously lightgun games would not be too hot that way!

I was thinking of a heft angle in the montor - think The Goldmine - but have a feeling that would be more than calibrating could accomodate for....

You can't go ridiculous with the monitor angle, but leaning back a bit (like say an NFL Blitz cab) works good.

If you lean the monitor back, and are tall enough, you end up shooting pretty much dead on to it anyway.

I wouldn't go Pacman leaning though--unless you plan to play on a step ladder.
