| I assume that since you mentioned arcade that you are looking at using
| it for gaming at TV like resolutions? Good luck with the search and
| please let me know if you find anything large. I couldn't. AFAIK,
| there are only a couple companies making all the LCD's in the world
| (the rest rebranded) and they make what sells - widescreen.
They make what they think sells. Or they make what sells to the builders who
make what they think sells.
The market for 4:3 is certainly not the biggest. It is small. But it does
exist. I estimate 10% to maybe 15%. Most would be for office use. But
even that is changing over to widescreen in 16:10 because that's about right
for two vertical pages of text side by side in a document editor.
| Most older cabinets can still maximize your viewing pleasure with a
| 4:3 ratio screen since once you are limited strictly in terms of width
| that all the height you can get is a viewing bonus for the 90% of
| broadcasts on TV which are still 4:3. (Furniture is still mostly 4:3,
| the root of the problem
If there is a way to rotate the pixels in the video card the OP is using,
maybe a widescreen rotated 90 degrees could work?
