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.
