Monitor without VESA mount and cable jacks in stand base

[EDIT]: I didn't get the monitor, but am still curious if someone has used a monitor with those type of connections in a cabinet?

Hello everyone,
I found a used 19" LCD monitor - NEC MultiSync LCD1935NXM - for a good price. It looks like it would be tough to mount for a cabinet - but am not certain. Is it really that bad? Is it worth the trouble when the inputs are in the base? Has anyone done this before?



CoryBee:

Unless it is like $5 - $10 I would stay away. Too much hassle. Where are you located?

It was more than that. I'm glad I didn't get it.

I'm in the GTA in southern Ontario.

As long as the base didn't get in the way of mounting - tilts back far enough to allow the monitor to be flush against a flat surface - you could use L-brackets. Bend the brackets to a custom fit and you don't have to attach anything to the actual monitor. It just sits in its new 'slot' and gravity does the work. This is how I set stuff up. Not saying it's the best or anything, it's just how I do it. I've never used the vesa mounts for arcade stuffs. YMMV.

A good idea! Might do that if I get one without the VESA mount holes. That monitor has the connections in the screen still. I feel like that may be more of a challenge?
