Mounting LCD/Screen

(1/4) > >>

sleong:
What is the best way to mount the screen into a cabinet?  More specific I'm trying to mount a LCD.    The current LCD that I have didn't come with holes in the back to mount to anything.  There are 4 screws but that is to hold the plastic casing to the screen.  I will probably remove those 4 and try to find longer screws to mount the LCD to a board that will be screwed into the side panels.  Or I may look for a wall mount and use that to mount the screen in the cabinet.

Here are other options I have considered.
1. Just leave the LCD on the stand and work with whatever angle I can get from the original stand.
2. As noted above look for longer screws and mount it to the board.
3. Get a wall mount and mount to the LCD and the board.
4. Build a brace to hold it up.

Still trying to figure this out before building or creating the bezel.

BobA:
Can you provide a picture of the back of the LCD?   I have never known one not to come without the screw holes for a VESA mount.

jdbailey1206:
I agree.  It sounds odd that there is no place to mount screws.  I know on most LCD monitors and televisions there are screw holes of some sort.  I know on mine monitor shown here I was able to put a piece of 1/4" mdf inside of where the stand was and mount that to a board and then mount said board to my weecade and screw it in that way.  If I have time tonight I will disassemble my weecade to show you what you mean. 

I also agree with Bob.  Pictures would be great to continue the brainstorming.

Sometimes the vesa mounts are hidden by a removable plastic cover.

. . . or under a sticker. (corner holes weren't originally there)
