I actually tip my 32 inch Aquos on its side to play Ikaruga, Under Defeat and all the rest of my sexy dreamcast collection. I don't have it on a wall rather I remove it from the top of the entertainment center and place it on the floor, on its side of course. I have had no problem at all other than my wife getting fucking pissed at me for tipping a 2 grand tv on its side. I'll post some pictures for you after I play tonight.

I searched the net for this. My LCD TV has the VESA mount and if you have one of those it should work with many different types of mounts. However, I found it costs a lot and might not always take the full weight of a 26" screen.

The solution I found most interesting is the "wishbone":

and "RiteArm":

Both of those should be able to rotate the monitor for "A4" size viewing.

I bought a wall holder that could also be mounted on my buro.
It can carry monitors up to 10 kilo.
This way I can tate to the left or to the right.
Offcourse you should get a wall holder or something because it's the more elegant way. Mine was a little over a 100 euro but you only have to buy it once and can use it too for your future LCD's.
I could work the cables away easily in the arm of the holder so it is a clean sight too.

I have a 36" tated right now...lol. It's just your standard big analog sucker and when I got my Raiden II PCB I just went ahead and flipped the sucker on its side ontop of a table. Works great, but it's sure gonna suck if an earthquake hits.

I found a suitable wallmount that can rotate 90 degrees.
