Rotate D9200, or not.

Ok, some of you might know of my plans and others might not.

I am moving out of my apartment, selling most of my games (actually, I already sold all the games I am selling other than that cocktail project and an empty cab) and moving into a motorhome.

But never fear, I will be keeping sweet gaming action with me on the road.

There is a USELESS bench seat in the thing, it faces A WALL, the oven, and other idiot locations. I am ripping that out entirely and installing my Midway mame cocktail with seating there.

Then in the back section there is the bedroom, it has a U-shaped bench that goes all the way around. In THIS area I will be installing my D9200 monitor, and my Mame control panel, along with some other built in entertainment stuff.

So where was I going with this? Oh yeah, do you guys think it is worth the effort to rig a ROTATING D9200 monitor setup, or just to install the sucker horizontal?

I just got me a 27" D9200 and my initial impression was shock at just how big this thing is. I reckon any vertical game would look just as cool mounted in a horizontal only cab.

On another note....

Paige, all you ever do here is ask, ask, ask. I feel it's about time you started contributing to these message boards.  :P

On my horizontal 27" monitor I find the vertical games are plenty big enough. 

When I played a MsPacman/Galaga reunion machine with a vertically mounted 25" monitor, I felt the screen was too big and actually made playing the game harder.

Hey Man,

If you've got a midway cocktail, it sounds like you've got a place to play your vertical games properly.  I also agree that classic old school games look a little awkward on a huge monitor.

Paige i am curious, what is your day job?  I always look foward to reading your answers to questions because you have a lot of knowledge about gaming. But i also hear you complain about housing from time to time. (the motor home peeked my interest.) Is your job taking you on the road?
     On another note, i have a 9200 and i believe that the vertical games are more than large enough. They are almost the size of a vertical 19 inch. I wouldnt go to the extra trouble of rotation.
