Title: Widescreen for horizontal?
Post by: sollyscomputers on January 03, 2016, 03:14:53 pm

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I can use a widescreen LCD for horizonal orientation on a cocktail cab using a jamma multi-game card.  Is it possible or do I have to use a 4:3 ratio monitor like I do with the vertical setups.

Thanks in advance

John

You can use any monitor that accepts analog VGA signal from the multi board but its probably going to stretch the size of the screen. Up to what the monitor settings can do to doctor that. Maybe go thrift store hunting and find a nice 20" 4:3 if it doesn't work out.
