I have 28" monitor and had to increase width in the designs

That's awesome that you pulled the trigger with a 28" especially if it was your first time. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll be happy with 21" by using a bezel-covered 24" 16:10. If I manage to build this one I'll hopefully have knowledge to increase the scale for larger displays in the future.

vaderag,
Do you have any helpful dimension schematic materials you made on your side to accommodate your 28" that you could send over? I still want to consider a 28" if someone has done it before.
Your cab simply came off superb. I noticed you hit time constraints and design bumps along the way but pulled through with some amazing work.

Thanks mate.
The thought did occur to me to dig it out but I'm on holiday at the moment so not possible.
I'm actually a 27" rather than 28" I think, can't quite remember but I'm 16:10 Dell monitor to get max 4:3 I could on a wide-screen
Either way, I'll try dig it out when I'm back but I do have a feeling I posted some OneDrive links further back in the thread if you have a chance to dig through before I'm back
In short tho it just required measuring my monitor, comparing to the space in the original and adjusting the central wood pieces accordingly. I would take the time to familiarise yourself anyway with each piece where it goes and what it does before cutting and building, will make everything so much easier!!
Only real delays were house moves, kids being born and nowhere to work in rainy weather. Nothing major ;)

I found your schematics! So I could follow these? I ask because you made a post along the way on a “conundrum” with the monitor placement that made you question your scaling adjustments.
I’m following your advice on learning how each piece works :).
Edit: Hope you’re enjoying your time off!
Edit #2: I believe the files you customized were conversions to the metric system and did not include width adjustments. That's fine. If you do happen to have your width adjustment version when you're back I'd love to take a look.
Thanks!

I'll have a look when I'm back :)
Post again in a few days as a reminder if I haven't responded!!
