Mirrored Monitors Question
« on: June 03, 2004, 10:15:19 am »
Hi!
I've been wondering, are the images of a mirrored monitor enlarged by the mirror?...

I mean, if you use a 17" monitor and reflect the image using an enlarging mirror, will you get a bigger image??... by this way I can cut a few pounds of the cab??.

It would be cool, that I can use a 17" and with the mirror stuff get 21", without the extra weight.

No. All commercial arcade games that bounced the monitor picture off of a mirror were strictly one to one---no enlargement or reduction.
