Gameroom (JPN stuff)

I would have said completely the opposite. The monitor and the plasma look worlds apart aspect ratio wise.

 

What if you compare it to the 16:9 plasma next to it.....

 

Then it definately looks like a scaled down widescreen panel. Possibly one of the commercial 16:10 panels.

 

Well, seriously, do you think a collector like Ken would trade a Ketsui kit for something he's not sure if it's really 4:3?

 

uhmm , first of all , its a bad idea to compare a curved crt monitor with a flat screen. if you do compare a crt with a flatscreen , it should be a pure flat tube.

anyway , that LG screen is infect 4:3 , it might look a little odd on the picture cause its tated but it is.

this LG was pretty much the last 4:3 Plasma model ever released. the production of the Pio 401+402 and 37" 4:3 Hitachi ended a few years earlier.

Maybe i'm being a bit Amish but is it ok to rotate a plasma screen?

 

rotation should be ok, but don't put the display flat on the floor.

 

Wow, awesome setup! I think I'd be content with the view out your window, though! :icon_bigg
