I'm looking for some feedback on my  (tentative) choice of monitor mounts.  images follow






my monitor is a WG 25" k7191

BobA:

Not sure the overall support you are going to have but some of those strips of wood look a little thin for the weight and torque of a 25 inch monitor.   This is just a gut feeling from the pictures viewed.


abzman2000:

that's what I was thinking, what is the conventional way to mount these sorts of monitors?

javeryh:

Run a 2x4 or strip of plywood from underneath the v-shaped pieces you made to the base of the cabinet.  They will act like columns and distribute the load.  I think that will work.

TOK:

That looks kinda weak. I built a shelf... 1/2" ply with the bottom boxed using wood the size of your mounts. I built that to hold the weight and the top mount is just a small piece for position similar to what you're using.
The whole chassis rests on the shelf.

I was in a hurry to get it done the other day, so I didn't take pics as I was going, sorry.
