4:3 or 16:9 for Possible Bartop?
lettuce:
I am considering making a bartop for vertical mame games, and am just woundering what would give the best display in 'trying' to keep games looking authentic as possible, would a widescreen LCD, positioned vertically of course, cause games to look to narrow?
nexus6:
why 16:9 ??? i dont know any 16:9 vertical game.
stephenp1983:
I think is he saying would a widescreen lcd monitor turned vertical give a better picture for vertical games than a standard monitor. I would say yes, and I wouldn't think you would have any distortion.

i'm confused. why would a vertical 16:9 give a better picture than a vertical 4:3?
DaveMMR:
I may be wrong but, if it's just for MAME wouldn't it be better to go 4:3? With 16:9, I imagine there would either be stretching or wasted space with letter boxing.
