Hello all,

I'm planning on building a cocktail style computer/retrogaming.
Essentialy it will be a table with a 22" monitor lying flat in the center, all covered by plexiglass o tempered glass, with a raspberry, speakers and all wiring hidden inside the table.
I'm aiming to use it as a pc for internet browsing with a wireless keyboard and to run retropie with with wireless joypads.

Few questions for the more savvy.
- I read somewhere that monitors are optimized so that you can view them clearly from above, but not from below, so I thought to mount it "facing away" from the user and to rotate image 180 degrees. Is there a way to set both the raspberry OS and retropie to automatically rotate screen 180 on start up?
- On the same topic, since the user will be looking at the screen from an angle, is there a preferred tecnology? led, lcd, etc...?
- Would there be a problem plugging 3 wireless devices on the Pi? keyboard and two joypads

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm asking there too but with no luck

IPS screen and you avoid all the problems you've described.

As for the controls, can't imagine any reason you'd have a 3 device limit.

Thanks for the info!
