Hi,
currently i am using a 19" 16:10 Monitor in vertikal Position. I works fine and the domensions are very good to fix it behind the MIP.
But on the F/O site the view on it is very bad.
What kind of Display are you using?

Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
If you mean while looking side on then turning the monitor 180 may help. Other than that you must seek out a monitor
that has a wide viewing angle. I have used IPS type monitors as these have an extremely wide viewing angle.
The monitor i used i found turning it 180 helped it a lot.

Hi,
I had the same problem that I could hardly see something from the FO side. Recently my 19" 16:10 got damaged and I had to replace it. I found an used acer one on ebay with an view angle of 160-175° and this one ist much better now. Honestly not 100% perfect with a little color change from the side view but definitely not as strong as the old one. The name of the monitor is "Acer V193WLAObmd" and the price was around 25€. I am very happy with it !
Best regards
Michael

I took now a 19“ 5:4 with pivot function, so in vertical position locked. Ist is a DELL 1907 fpv ore something like this. 25€ used.
viewing angle is 170deg on vertikal.
Demounting the case around the panel and fixed a glasplate on the Front like i did the pfd/nd.
