| Rotating LCD Monitor - A Simple, Space Saving Technique? |

Think something like this would be better..... http://www.bracketsrus.co.uk/High-quality-adjustable-under-counter-/-cabinet-bracket-cs5-c190-p4609.html As it only goes in and out and not on a hinge, now an ideal version would be one that rotates the display as well. You could then get a linear actuator and some programable grubbings to control the actuator to push the screen out and rotate by a push of a button!?. Here a vid that shows a wireless remote setup, but u get the idea..... |

VESA mounts are rarely if ever centered with the screen. An adapter plate aoul will need to be made to correct for that. Sent using Board Express |

This seems very doable using an actuator to push it out and a motor/actuator/servo to turn it. Automating it shouldn't be much of a problem. |

Good ideas for automating this using a pull-out that's non-VESA, hadn't considered those. LeChuck I will have to check out those cabs that use a pull-out approach already, thanks. Another benefit for widescreen LCDs could be minimizing the vertical bezel height. You don't need the vertical 16:9 (or 16:10) aspect ratio, so just articulate the arm down several inches to hide part of the monitor below the control panel and expose something more like a 4:3 aspect ratio (rough picture below). |

LeChuck, thanks for point out DMWorking247's alien bartop - very cool technique for a front-pull rotating monitor! Looks like he used a 4:3 set in a square bezel: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,84251.0.html |
