What to do with an extra 70" tv?

The only extra investments were the motorized desk and the cart to mount the tv in portrait mode (it can also be mounted in landscape, but I have the regular HTPC tv for those games). I considered a wall mount, but the versatility of being able to relocate the setup (to an extra bedroom or the basement or wherever) made more sense in my use case.

This was also a good motivation to make some upgrades to the good old tankstick. FWIW I first tried changing the left 8-way stick to 4-way by adjusting the shaft cowling as described on the XGaming site. This did not work so I ended up replacing the left stick altogether, and it's been a huge improvement for all those 4-way portrait mode games. I may need to submit a feature request for Big Box to have the option of automatically loading up into a playlist (in this use case, the vertical games playlist) for convenience.

Also good for pinball!
