I got a first hand demo of what happens when you rotate a 27" monitor (while on) from horizontal to vertical. Purity goes to hell! (i.e. it looks like you have a magnet on the edges of the monitor).

It works fine if you degauss after rotating. In fact, IMO a rotating CGA monitor is the ultimate display for a MAME setup. If I had the engineering knowledge (and time), I would probably have done something like that.

I don't seem to able to find a non-widescreen 27" monitor that is reasonably priced here in the UK. I might instead try doing a rotational 19" or 20" LCD monitor. Does anybody know of any good examples or tutorials of how to do this?
