: :Hi,

: I would like to ask you if it works well with
: MAME tweaked modes (full screen) and if it could be rotated
: to play rotated vertical games the way they were designed..

Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply. You may never even read this. :( Oh well...

Anyway, this is a true XGA grade monitor. It has a very wide scan range and I use Advance MAME to configure nearly all my modes at 120Hz, giving me real hardware style scanlines at double intensity.

As for vertical games, I just use them in horizontal position, giving about the equivalent of a 21 or 22" screen. Big enough eh? :) I'm getting real arcade size+ displays either way so I'm quite happy.

As for physically rotating the monitor - it's not made for that, and I'm not gonna test it to see. It weighs over 100 pounds and I don't wanna break it. But maybe it can be rotated, you can't really know with PC displays sometimes till you try. But I'm very happy in horizontal position so I'm not trying. :)

-P-
