LCD Screen Opinions...?

If 19" 4:3 plasma TVs were made they'd be pretty much ideal, I think, but I don't see that happening, ever.

this may be the right thread for this question. I also picked up an lcd with the intention of making a cocktail out of it. it looks good from any angle so everythign is good there.
however. what do people do about the power and adjustment buttons on the edge? if you put this under glass how do you access those buttons to turn it off/on, or is there another method?

That right there is one reason why arcade monitors exist.  They turn on when they get power.

One option would be to leave the monitor plugged in and let it go into standby when you flip the power switch off.  If you're using a digital connection, you need not worry about adjustments.

I have never seen an lcd screen that didn't power on automatically when power was applied to it. If you de case the screen the buttons are usually on a pcb strip with a ribbon cable. You can extend cable if needed to have screen adjustments in a place you can reach. Mine is just mounted under the table top (see pic).


good day.

Really?  I just tested three of mine and none of them did; they showed nothing except the "I'm not turned on" color on the LED and they showed no picture.  Mayhaps it depends on whether they were turned on or off when the power was cut.

Yep that seems to be it.  If they're turned on when the power is cut, they turn back on.  problem solved.
