HDTV swivel / rotating mount setup found...video inside!

So after a lot of research, I've stumbled upon an amazing solution for my HD dilemna. As a bit of background, I have used CRT's my whole life, and have never seriously considered getting an HDTV due to lag, and not wanting to get rid of my beautiful 36" CRT....who has space for two TVs? But I think I've finally solved my problem!

Sony KDL55W950B (55", 17 ms lag...undetectable!)
ASM-501 Rotating Swiveling Extending Wall mount (pricey at $330, but well worth it!)

It mounts the HDTV in FRONT of my CRT and I can rotate and swivel it out of the way whenever I want to play retro games.

This setup is glorious.....

I made a video in case anybody out there would benefit from seeing this setup...sorry for my lack of good video making equipment!

Also, every console shown in the video is playable on the CRT via switchers without having to fuck around with any cables, and every console (including my Impress cab!) is routing through a DVR as well via splitters so that I can record superplays anytime, all without lag.

It's pretty hilarious how small my Egret 29" screen looks compared to the monstrous Sony TV.

thats nice what you did with the borders. I like how the empty areas on the screen is all on the top. how did you accomplish that?

Mushi Futari has lots of options in the display settings, including the ability to position/zoom the playfield however you like.

Ok, Gotcha. so you cant do that with every game. it would be great though if that was possible.
