Until the other day i didnt even know that 17" & 19" LCD screens were not your tipical 4:3 screen ratio, they are infact 5:4!! Playing around with the idea of using an LCD screen in a possible bartop project to play vertical games, i was considering using a 20" monitor which IS 4:3 ratio, but am thinking that the screen size would be too big for a bartop project, though it would be mounted vertically so wouldnt be as wide. If i was to use either a ArcadeVGA card or the soft15khz program, what sort of screen side effects would i get in using a 5:4 screen ratio screen than a 4:3?? Would i get boarders on the screen anywhere even though i would be displaying the games in there native resolutions thanks to ArcadeVGA or Soft15khz?? |

It doesn't really make a difference. Bella's Arcade uses a 5:4 monitor and it plays perfectly. |

Only problem with 17 and 19 inch is that they are 99% certain TN panels, and TN panels mount vertical suck in viewing angles. In 20/21 inch there are much better screens. |

Yeah must admit im finding it hard to find a 19" non TN panel, the only one i found available is the Samsung SyncMaster SM-971P. Are even modern day (as in this years models) still that bad for vertical mounting?, like the LG L1954TQ or the Dell Ultrasharp 1908FP? , i mean they should be fine if your the one standing in front of it playing mame shouldnt they??? |

Go ahead and try it. You might be less picky than I am. |
