Mounting a monitor

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Nidhoggr:

So I have a hollow arcade cabinet (pictured below) and am planning to mount a monitor in it (obviously).  I am thinking I will be going will an LCD monitor.  The monitor that originally went in this was a 27" CRT.  It is an old "Wrestlefest" cabinet according to the stickers on the back from the manufacturer.  What sized LCD would I want to go with? And how would I go about mounting a monitor, especially if it's not the same size?



ChanceKJ:

Add a board in there. Some people screw the LCD to the board, some people like me add a small cheap wall mount. Your call.  Size wise you'd have to measure the width you have and then go to your local electronics store and find something that fits.

With screws.  :dunno






Using the VESA mount pattern on the back of the monitor, of course.  ;D
