So what about regular horizontal games? Is there a benefit to using a medium res monitor for horizontal games? I'm thinking that the only benefit I could possible see would be when MAME emulate modern games (like Blitz) that utilize a medium res monitor.

I already have a MAME cocktail dedicated to the vertical classics, so I don't really care too much about running verts in my stand up.

: Chances are you'll be able to modify the monitor to have a switches at the front..

: My Std/Med Res monitor to change freq from Std to Med, I have to remove the wire set from one set of pins to another..

:
: The theory is wiring both plugs upto a switch box and then be able to switch the monitor when required, without the hassel of putting my hand in the back and switching..

: Also Med Res monitor mode is great for playing Vertical Games on a Horizontal based monitor, cause you can get a line height of around 384 to 400 at 60hz! :) so 25" Med Res monitor plays Vertical games at approx the same as a 19" Rotated monitor would.
