    It’s pretty cool to have that as an option, but good lord it looks annoying to use that monitor arrangement.

      Dual monitor in diagonal mode to get a perfect diamond orientation!

      …I’m sure there’s some arcade game that plays on some awkward display that’s designed to be a diamond or even diagonal…

        Well, arcade machines used CRT displays. Not sure someone was crazy enough to build cabinets in which you’d have to rig those heavy bastards so they rest on a corner.

          Point the CRT upwards at a series of mirrors which display on a diagonal screen! Lmao

            Now make the mirrors controllable and let the game do crazy optic full screen rotations, panning and zooming.
