Arcade coffee table - limited space
« on: September 30, 2012, 09:42:53 am »
Hi I am building a coffee table arcade mame system and as such I am limited to space. So LCD/PC monitor is the way I have to go. I have read tons on monitors/video and I am worried about the viewing angle when using an LCD/TFT when using the table format as you are looking at the screen at an angle.

Any recommendations/suggestions? It needs to be 19 - 20 inch

Thanks

Rotate it 90deg from the normal viewing position. Monitors nearly always have better right/left viewing angle than up/down
