Black Friday Sales: Who is going to try the Vertical LCD Based Arcade?
<< < (11/11)
MPTech:
Can I ask?
If you were to mount this vertically and play a PC game (Crysis, BioShock, etc) how would it appear on the screen? Will it get streched or will it center with black bars above & below it?

I saw the pics earlier of the guy that installed his 42" and had PacMan running. That looks great to me!

Has anybody else mounted theirs like that?  Any pics to share?  What are the cons of doing this?

Hey check out this cool utility..

Simple Bezel Layout Generator v2.2

Should be able to use this to generate a bezel for a widescreen LCD in the vertical position.

EDIT: Looks like Mr Do is looking at making a collection of bezels for this exact reason. Read about it here

Thanks for the links.  Good info there.  Looks like Mr.Do has been listening  :applaud:


Update on the Polaroid 42.  I jumped ship on that unit and went with a unit that could better do 1:1 pixel output.  The Polaroid looked fine for the games, and the built in up-scaling worked great, but it wasn't the best for small text.  I needed to do work on it as well, so it just didn't fit my needs.  If I was going to use it for games or a cabinet, I would have kept it in a heartbeat, but I couldn't afford 2.

I plan to start working on the design of the Play/Work station soon.  Maybe by time I get done, Mr. Do will have some goodies ready to just plug in :)
