Picking the right screen

[Neogojira]

I have many screens and I am trying to pick what would be best. I have a 19" square LCD, 22" widescreen LCD, and a 32 inch sharp aquos LCDTV.

I was thinking about a 2 screen system with the bottom rotation. I would love to add a light but I think it be hard to do that with 2 screens and a pinball set up.

I would like to know what people think. Do the 2 screen or one screen or the 32"?[/img]

i would use the 32in even if you put it vertical you should still end with around a 21in horizontal screen area. one of the forum members here did it with a KI and 32 in crt. plus with that setup you could play the over under games with no issue. like punch out and the playchoice games. plus with the screen that way you could still do pinball and use the 22in widescreen for your score board. it really depends on what you want to do the most. for me the most played games are ki and mk series. so i have to have a two player horizontal setup.

That makes me think if I can do a auto button for the screen to turn side to side. Or if the screen is to big to do that with a 32. More likely I would have to take it apart first

enough room for the screen to rotate depends on your cabinet size. if room is of no question you can always build the cab big enough to allow autorotation of the screen.

I agree with the benefits of mointing a large monitor vertical.
I did mine that way with a 27" CRT and it gives me the best of both worlds

It was actually a 36" CRT and my back still hurts.
here's a picture of Punchout running on it.

That is nice.
Did you have to modify the cab much.
On my 27" vertical CRT, I had to remove and rebuild the speaker panel above the monitor in order to shoe horn it in.
I also had to remove take apart the steel frame for the CRT and mount the chassis board on the inner side of the cab

only mod to the cab was drilling new mounting holes in the sides to move the brackets
