the thing I am going to like about the gt6 is it fits into a h5 cab "edge to edge"
so I used the vesa mounts to do it
thank you dynamo
the pga's I had to cut and build wood prop mounts (which I do not like the idea off)
reason is the person moving these things thinks he is moving a battle ship (true)

Checking in on this...new guy here and doing my first mame arcade cabinet build but the project is halted not knowing the size of the monitor I can use.

Are there any more updates on the heat and performance for this panel?

Also...are you guys mounting them horizontally or vertically?

I couldn't be happier with it. I'm mounting it horizontally with wood. I have it leaning on two brackets and re-enforced with wood going across the cab, using the brackets on the monitor. Heat was a little concerning at first. I had glass leaning on it and the glass itself would get pretty hot after 30 minutes or so. I mounted two big (silent) computer fans behind it (blowing upward at an angle towards the back). No issues with heat since.

If this is still available I'd grab it. Just get the fans. I payed like $15 for them and just mounted them quickly with a strip of wood and L brackets. I wired them directly to 12v lines of some molex adapters I'm using for LEDs. Easy fix.

I have a 23.1" 4x3 LCD that's been sitting in my closet a few years. Been waiting to build a Mame cabinet with it. But I'm not sure if maybe I should just sell it to someone on byoac or not...

I just purchased one. Hoping for the best. Going to be putting this into a converted 4 player stand up cabinet.
