Horizontal and vertical monitor placement

[leejsmith]

HI,

I have a 19" Toei CM-R14 / CM-R20 monitor in my taito cabinet with a 60 in 1 game. I recently brought a track and field board and I am looking to make a new cabinet for it. I can buy a vga crt monitor for a decent price and was thinking I could use it for my multi game and then use the toei for track and field. When I put the toei on the bench in the horizontal position I noticed strange colours on the screen like it needed degaussing so this has made me think it would not be suitable for track & field.

Is this correct or can it work.
thanks

Lee
