LCD TV Vertical Safe?

Post by Hakurei Reimu »

I recently purchased a 26" Insignia LCD HDTV and was just wondering if LCDs are able to be flipped vertically without any problems, the last thing I want is for DoDonPachi to kill my TV!

*I am not taking responsibility for anything*
But, yeah it should be 100% safe. Heck, Burger King, Mc Donalds and KFC have all their tv's tated. They're the kings of tate. :D Go Nuts.

The future will be bright for us shmuppos. Soon the first 16:9 Tate 720p HD 2D arcade shmups will come and we will all have to look for a lcd wall mount that rotates!
Please freeze me in and unfreeze me when this becomes a reality!

I think I just went overboard........ :roll:
