Title: LG Flatron IPS234 Help with fixing rotation bearing
Post by: Connorsdad on March 27, 2013, 07:56:51 am

Lovely shiny new monitor arrived today yay :applaud:

Then I saw how the wires are connected to it:

 :angry:

I was hoping to set up a rotation system like Griffindodd did with his revolution cab but not going to be possible with those connections there, any ideas?

You might see if you can find some right angle connectors to replace those straight ones.
That would get the profile of the cords quite a bit lower.

Here is a vga adapter, but it may be too short to fit your monitor:

And here is a power cable, but Im not sure if this power cable will fit your monitor, but it should give you an idea of what im thinking:

Thanks for the advice, seems an inexpensive solution so worth a try.

Another thing I could try is cutting a slot that follows the path of the circumference for the duration of the rotation and feed the wires through there.

Love the viewing angles of this thing so either way I have to make it work.

Yes that could work too.
