Hey Carl,Any LCD screen should be fine laying on it's back.however, if you want to use it specifically for a pinball monitor, it might be easier to remove the plastic bezel from around the display. It's typically not that hard, just find the plastic clips and whatever screws might be holding the monitor mount to it (hint...look under stickers lol). I've posted a youtube video showing my cheap laptop "cabinet" setup but that was before i removed the bezel on my monitor. Now there's a lot less bulk. If you are using a Plasma screen, i can't recommend laying it on it's back, from my research it's got nothing to do with buggering up the display, however, unlike LCD screens, plasmas have a thin pane of glass that of course is very brittle, if the display bends under it's own weight, that glass will crack and i'm pretty sure that it's important for the function of the screen.
