I figure why the hell not right? Let's exclude cabs 'cause there's nothing new about watching a cab monitor tated.
I'll post mine when I find my camera.

Sorry I took so long, I just don't have any pics except for these ones. I have leveled up my tated TV to a 24" Sony wega tube and I'm also working on a 32" Bravia rig, but I cannot find my cammera! oh well, this will do for now.

Yes and 24". Staples is selling some knock offs of the Neofelx as well, they are branded under 3M, for all I know it could be manufactured by Ergotron 'cause they are identical in shape and functionality.

Tate
Sweet I'll have to go check it out right now I'm just resting my monitor on the side if i wanna Tate with my PC but I'd much rather have a proper rotating stand.
Here's the main Tate setup: 24" Sony with my Ps2 & Dreamcast hooked up to it, also i got S-Video coming out of the small form factor PC next to it so i can MAME on the TV as well. Pretty decent for me but i have a tendency to switch it to and from Tate position far too often.. some days i need to play Gunbird 2 & Triggerheart and others I just need 3:S and MvC2.

Here's my setup. VGA adapter for the Dreamcast and the XRGB-2 Plus for everything else. The LCD is on a swivel stand.

Samsung makes a "Slim Fit" Crt. At least they did a couple years ago.

Thanks. I'll look into this. I wouldn't mind a 4x3 pivoting LCD either. That's probably an eBay buy though since everything is widescreen at this point.

Yeah, the version I have is 16:9. But the "Slim Fit" line, or whatever it's called, is pretty good. They weight about 10-25 pounds less than your average CRT of the same size. I can actually lift my TV by myself. I think it's about 115-125 lbs or so. Not bad for a 30".

Over on the shmups forum a guy posted a projector shot where the game covered an entire wall. Everyone was drooling over it. That has to be a borderline spiritual experience.

I'm keeping an eye on the new smallish LED based projectors. When the quality gets nice enough I really want to use one with a supergun for TATE.

I had no idea so I went digging. It looks like this will be the way to go once the technology catches up. Right now they're in the $200-300 range, the resolution is low, and the reviews said it had to be really damned dark for them to work.
I added a second Namco to my ghetto tate setup.

Nice Tate Setups
I have a Tate setup with using a 22'LCD Hanns-G. How did you manage to get the Stand part of the Actually Moniter display Casing? I wouldn't mind doing that myself, any tips would help

Funny you guys mention projectors. Not too long ago a friend and I ghetto rigged a projector to play some shmups. Really immersive experience. It would be nice to have some sort of permanent mount capable of doing that.... or like what others have mentioned, just wait for the portable projectors to improve.
I don't know if you guys do this as well... but at airports, news broadcasts, etc... you ever notice how many "tated" 42-50+ flatpanels they always seem to have? I always think in my head... what a waste! Should be playing some shmups on those! haha
@Darkneo
From what I recall, there were just a few screws in the back that attached the stock stand to the monitor. Same deal with my old monitor. Once you remove that, the standard VESA mount for PC monitors should be ready to accept a compatible VESA stand/arm/bracket.
