Mounting LCD monitor in cocktail cabinet (noobie).

(1/7) > >>

Knightlore:
I bought a pre-built cocktail shell from Ebay (which I'm really impressed with!).

I bought it with a pre-installed "1x LCD monitor bracket", appears to be a square of MDF with the two longest sides having a metal strip on each with a couple of holes in each metal strip.

Basically I was under the impression I could just put a 22" standard LCD monitor in there but I'm unsure how this would screw in?  Is this mount designed for a proper arcade monitor or something?  I didn't really want to go that route because they seem very expensive for what they are. (at least over here in the UK!).

Here's a pic of one side - the opposite side is exactly the same and the other two opposing sides are just MDF :




Any help appreciated - Knightlore.

BobA:
Usually any LCD mount will use the vesa mounting holes that are at the back of any monitor or tv.   Cannot picture what you ordered but probably fixes to the back of the monitor with metal mounts going into the sides of your cabinet.

Knightlore:
Hmm thanks, for some reason the picture hasn't shown.


Here's an external link to it if someone doesnt mind downloading it, it wont let me upload to imageshack (filesize too big?) it's 5mb.

Anyway, I think I know what you mean.  If someone can just verify that's what I need from the pics - ill order one, cheers.

Hi, I think the aspect ratio is that yes.  But my issue is how to mount the monitor with what is already installed.  I've done a google and I can't seem to find any wall mounts that have any side attatchments to mount it?
