Help mounting a monitor
Seith:
Hey guys,
Trying to mount my television into a cab I have yet to glue up, want some input on our method.
Here is the television we are attempting to mount. Take note of the metal clips coming out of the four corners.
Here are the brackets we created to mount them in.
The plan is to glue and screw these brackets to the inner sides of the cab and have the television's clips slot into the grooves. Like this:
Question: Will this be sturdy enough to hold the TV up forever, while still maintaining removability? There are also these little metal edges along the sides of the TV:
We plan on grinding these off so that the TV butts up very close to the brackets.
Will this work, or am I about to drop a TV in a cab that will hit the ground in weeks/months to come?

I'm using a 20" CRT PC monitor which I'm rotating which has similar clips in each corner and that's how I'm attaching it. The L brackets in the corners are to add some strength to the plywood.

i used the same mounts on your tv to mount a 27in in my cab. i just used 2 l brackets to make it so it would reach the mounting wood on the inside of the cab. ive seen alot of tvs mounted with just the 4 corner brackets. check this link for my post with pic of the mounting

So it would be more ideal to have the television bolted in instead of just sitting on it's clips?
Yenome:
well if you think bout it they just hold off the clips in the case. i would suggest you get a piece of wood and cut the hole for the monitor and get a second piece of wood to mount the pcb too and attach the two boards together with l brackets. then you can just screw the board the monitor is mounted to to the cab.
look for systm mame cab they have a video making a cab and do exactly what im talking bout
