VGA Box that will flip picture....

[jhoe]

Has anyone found a VGA Box that will allow you to flip the picture, like nvidia's drivers? The problem that arises is that when you set your LCD down (reversed, for better picture) and use your computer to watch a movie on it, but then want to switch over to something like XBox or PS2, you would have to flip the lcd and remount it. Has anyone found a VGA Box that would fix this problem?

Thanks!

What you want is a VGA Processor - these are used with teleprompters and can flip the x axis. Bad news is every link on google I tried was dead and chances are these things are very expensive, although I'm sure an engineer could devise a solution.

I wonder about the possibility of delay being introduced with this.

Does placing the light source where the backlight would be actually offer better picture? Does the coating really do that much? Alternatively you could use a mirrored setup, but then more "imperfections" are introduced.

I just got my first setup running and I must say it looks very nice. I don't have a screen yet so I haven't bothered flipping it but since so many people said it made a difference I figured I would try to flip it. Used a Samsung Syncmaster 512N and a Dukane OHP with 575W metal halide bulb. I will try flipping it very soon after mid-terms are done to see the true difference.
