best way to mount an LCD screen?

(1/3) > >>

shateredsoul:
I have seen people who mount their lcd screen with the frame and all, but I could have sworn I saw someone take one out of a case and put it inside a piece of wood (like you can do with tvs and pc monitors).  Are there any guides on how to do this? or does it just make more sense to not take it out of the case?

Dannymh:
If it is upright then just double sided tape and a shelf

If it is flat or angled back the way I do it is to remove the stand.

I then build it right up against a flat bezel and run a length of batten each side,

Then I can put a brace of batten across the top and bottom and it goes nowhere. have done this on several jukeboxes so far with no problems seen yet.

Alternately you could get an LCD wall mount kit and use that to secure to MDF and then all you have to do is screw the MDF into place

I mounted my LCD's several different ways...  For my MAME cab I actually used an LCD mounting bracket.  I then mounted the bracket to a piece of wood that I used as a backdrop for the monitor area.

You can't really see it well on my crappy iphone pics.



for my Pincab backglass, I de-cased the LCD and used t-nuts(blind nuts) and the existing mounting holes located in the corners of most LCD frames.

I picked up a rotating LCD mount for 20$ online some time ago. Made mounting mine simple.

Similar to this but not quite the same

But the tnut idea would work great too.

Virtually all monitors have holes for standard VESA mounts.

I have that same bracket.  I was planning on making my MAME cabinet screen rotate for pinball, but I decided to build a full size digital pin instead.

They do have VESA mounts, but depending on the size the mounting holes/supports may be attached to the plastic casing of the LCD and not the metal support frame inside.  Based on the 4 that I have all of the screens that are 32" and under have the mounting on the plastic case and above 32" the mounting is on the metal frame.  Depending on if you are leaving the bezel on or de-casing will determine how you mount the LCD.
