A Good Rotate-able Monitor?

Hi guys. Any recommendation for a good rotate-able monitor? Need one so that I can easily switch between horizontal and vertical games. One that has dual DVI and VGA input will be best so I can use it for my computer at the same time.

If I'm not mistaken, the option for monitor rotation is on the cabinet, not the monitor itself. :smt045

I don't have a cabinet and I am playing on an ordinary monitor. I know there are monitors that can be tilted 90 which will be very convenient. Besides, with those you can play vertical games on MAME and such

I didn't think all monitors allow you to change from Horizontal to Vertical display.

Many LCD monitors have the ability to rotate. They swivel/rotate on the monitor's stand physically (ie. rotate with your hand). There are plenty of HP monitors that do this and is what I use for this purpose. Most LCD's can be removed from their stands and placed on a rotating stand because they use a standard mounting footprint. Search online for HP 1730 or HP 1704 to get an idea.

Yes that's exactly what I want and I know there are many. Any other recommendations? What is the one that you use?

I'm currently using the 1704, but any of this type will do. There's not all that much of a difference between them.

Putting a 20 inch flat screen trinintron on its side looks amazing.

I do this to play Shmups for ps2 and Dreamcast at my families vacation home.
