What about this TV?

......Christ, yeah, I meant component.  I mean, I remember thinking....maybe even seeing....component after I typed it.   Eeeeeeeeee.

And, I saw those monitors (@ GGG), but the resolution isn't very high, so I decided no.  Actually, ace, I happened to find a brand new Billabs B0P on ebay for $350, and no one else bid.  A little bit of a logistic thing going, so I don't have it, yet, but eventually.

acevedor2:
Good luck Tranq with the Billabs!  I never saw it.   Guess I need to work on my search skills :)

 I'll post pics sometime tomorrow night.  Doesn't look like I am going to get to it tonight.  Cheers.

I have a very heavy P810 ViewSonic monitor in a refurbished cabinet. The real problem I encountered was determining the best viewing angle and height of the thing when really I  could only make this determination once the monitor was in place. That is where the shelf idea helps.  If you can build a shelf at the approximate height of the monitor then you can shim  the monitor  with blocks (or books)  until you get the best position. Then you might cut a couple of permanent wooden rails or other supports, taking the measurements from the correctly positioned monitor. Also when building,  I was always aware of the great downward force of the monitor and so I  over-engineered my supports to counter that force. But when it came time to move the cabinet I quickly realized that the cab would be tipped and that  all that force would be on different structural components (out the back) . So keep that in mind. Finally, I bought some of that pipe-hanger strap to wrap over the top but ended up just using a thick gauge wire to secure it. The ratchet idea is great but if you want to save some money you could just use the minimum materials since gravity is never going to be pushing the thing up.

Thanks Pong.  Mine will have to be VERY VERY sturdy as movers will move it every few years.  Not to put down any of you who might be movers but most of the ones I have had in the last 16 years of routine moving - SUCK!  It is more like furniture demolition derby instead of moving.  Anyway, I will definitely be using the straps and probably several mounts as well.  You don't by any chance happen to have a pic of how you mounted your monitor do you?
Cheers

You know, when you move, you should put it on a palet the size of the cab and sheath it in thick cardboard.
