Rotating Monitors
Rotating Monitors
I'm looking to get an LCD widescreen monitor that rotates vertically. Does anyone have any recommendations for something in the 22 to 24 inch range?

Re: Rotating Monitors
Im using a LG FLATRON W2442PA (16:10 ratio)
I use it to play ikaruga and other vertical shmup.
Realy cheap around 300$can, it have VGA, DVI and HDMI out. It also have a 4:3 button
so if you play to dreamcast on it or anygame that doesnt have wide screen support... you can
display in the right ratio.

Re: Rotating Monitors
I purchased an HP monitor just for this purpose. It ran me about $240 for the 22 inch model. It looks great and has a really sharp picture.

Re: Rotating Monitors
Mine rotates clockwise and doesn't work for most DC games which rotate the other way. Mame is just fine!racketboy wrote:I get Dell Ultrasharps

Re: Rotating Monitors
I'd say get any 22-24 lcd monitor and stick a swivel mount on the back.
I can recommend these two monitors:

and this swivel:

Re: Rotating Monitors
I'm wondering. It's worth it getting a 16:9 screen? Most games are 4:3 anyways so it seems to me I'm paying more for nothing. Am I wrong?
Looking for a cool game? Find it in my blog!

Can you find a 4:3 anymore?General_Norris wrote:It's worth it getting a 16:9 screen?
21" computer CRT ftw. May be a bit heavy, but you can find 'em cheap! I snaged five for free a few years back.

That seems like it would be cumbersome to rotate.Majors wrote:21" computer CRT ftw. May be a bit heavy, but you can find 'em cheap! I snaged five for free a few years back.
At some point I'm going to bite the bullet and invest the $500 it seems like it's going to take me to get a rotating stand for my 50" plasma. And then we shall play Ikaruga and Castle of Shikigami III. And it will be awesome.
