Need a little advise on monitor mounting

[rlemmon]

Hi guys. I'm getting a shelf mount monitor next week



This might be sort of a stupid question but how do I secure it to the cab ?

Do i just use bolts to secure the bottom frame to the shelf in my cab or do I have to build a wooden frame to also mount the side frames as well ? I want to make sure its secure.

I was thinking it may be easier to build a frame like the one below since the shelf in my cab is flat and I need the monitor angled upwards. Other wise i guess I wold have to make an angled shelf in my cab







What do you think guys ?
Thanks

I have seen monitors mounted only using the bottom of the monitor frame (4 bolts),  but the most common set up I have seen is a panel with a hole in it where the monitor slips through the hole and mounts to the panel at the four corners of the glass.   It seems most secure.

I have a couple of Williams cabinets and the monitors mount on a wooden shelf using 4 bolts. 

On my Centipede cab, there is a panel with a cutout where the monitor fits through and gets bolted using the bolt holes on the side flanges of the monitor frame itself.

You could probably get away with just bolting it down to a secure shelf but if possible I'd also find a way to secure it around the frame.  If you are building a cocktail I'd say bolting it in all 8 places is a necessity.
