Monitor/Surround/Bezel Installation
« on: March 30, 2004, 10:48:20 am »
Hey gang,
My project has moved onto the all important monitor installation stage. Could someone be kind enough to point me to a link with installation pics showing the proper way to cleanly rail mount a WG monitor, with surround and 1/4" bezel? Sorry to be sort of vague, I'm more or less looking for some examples.

If you have a frame (most don't) you can do what I did to mount it:

From what I have seen, most folks without frames use shelves for monitor mounting.

I have a back-painted,  tinted glass/bezel.  It is attached to angle iron with magnetic tape.

Depends on the type of frame you have.  

You can build a frame of 1X2's around it and let the lip of the metal frame rest on that.  You can build a shelf.  I had a cab that had a piece of plywood and the center was cut out to match the monitor.  The monitor was mounted inside that.  Then it had a rail on each side and the plywood rested on that.  Pretty simple.

If you have a frame that has a base on it, just make a shelf.
