Title: Horizontal mount playing vert games?
Post by: Nailz on February 10, 2004, 11:38:17 am

Hey guys, I have a quick question, I know I am being paranoid, but just wanting to make sure that a 19" Vision Pro Standard Res Monitor (http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htm#Monitors) will be able to play vertical games with an ArcadeVGA in my new cocktail cab project as well?

Or are there recommendations on a different type of setup?

Thanks,

Marty

Yes, a vertical monitor is just a horizontal monitor on its side, the mounting brackets might be set up for horizontal fixings though, can't see this being problem in a cocktail cab.

Do you mean when you mount your monitor horizontally will it play vertical games as well?
If so, yes it will but you not going to enjoy them much as they will be tiny.

No, I just wanted to make sure that it would also play the vertical games in the vertical orientation without any issues....  With a cocktail table you can play from both horizontal and vertical orientation, I just wanted to double check that a horizontal mount monitor could do this ok.
