How to mount LCD so it can pivot?

[Dougmeister]

Don't have one of those nifty models w/ built-in pivot (to switch between vertical and horizontal games).

What solutions have you come up with for this?

How about one of these fixed to the back?

Very cheap and should be easy to set up.

[Dougmeister]

Nice, thanks.

Do you happen to know where I can get one in the U.S.?

[markb]

Yep! Ebay US.

Theres a whole lot more of them if you search under 'TV turntable' , ' monitor turntable' etc on eBay.

Good luck

They have turntables like this at Home Depot and Lowes.

I know I have seen them in recent weeks because I recall stopping and looking at the different sizes including reading the maximum recommended weights that each size would handle.

[Dougmeister]

Cool.  I like Home Depot. 

But again, what are you guys' thoughts on how to connect the LCD to these things?

[markb]

Attach a thin piece of wood to the turntable a slightly larger size than than the TFT. Place the TFT in the middle of the board then use something like spring loaded picture hooks fastened to the wood board to hold it in place. Either that or build a small box frame around it and attach that to the turntable.

Nice.  I think that'll work just fine.  Thanks.

Dudes, I was going through some of my junk last night and found a monitor stand that I had ripped off of a 20" monitor.  It will work perfectly.  It rotates 90 degrees and no further and has a flat enough part to mount the LCD on.

Good idea for anyone else trying to do this.
