    Hi All

    Decided to upgrade my B & W Screen which is mounted in the side of a Kitchen Cabinet to Colour . However the new unit is much wider and wont fit , is it possible to use it in Portrait orientation rather than landscape ?


    Thanks in advance.

    Alas, there's no option to mount it in a Portrait fashion.. the underlying Operating System doesnt support it and the design of the heat sinks and vents etc requires it to be mounted Landscape.

    Yep, please don't mount a CTC on its side. It will get kinda warm because the heat flow runs top to bottom. And if its gets too warm its likely to do an internal shutdown.

    Hey Ashleigh,

    Dont you mean the heat flow runs bottom to top? (Convection?)

    Just wondering, lol:)
