Wanting to use a TV that does not have an S-video jack.

<< < (5/5)

Thanks for the help guys.

I found a TV at Best Buy, believe it or not.  They had one left... it was a 25" Dynex, and it just so happened to be almost the exact dimensions that I needed.

I was hoping to fit a 27", but it just didn't seem likely without decasing the TV, and I didn't really want to do that at all.

One slight problem is, though... the TV has speakers on the sides, and the TV is about 1/8" too wide on each side.  Since I'm only using this TV for this application, would it be okay to just sand down the side of the TV into the plastic in order to compensate for that difference?

Not really sure the best way to do that, either.

Just decase it and ditch the speakers.

Don't sweat the 25" size.  It'll be perfectly fine.  I think a lot of us overestimate the importance of the size of the display when designing cabs.   

It's arguable whether sanding is easier than decasing.

Best thing to do is take the back off of the tv and have a look and see how easy it would be to mount it without the case.  If it looks like a lot of workDon't sweat the 25" size.  It'll be perfectly fine.  I think a lot of us overestimate the importance of the size of the display when designing cabs.   

Did you build your cab yourself or are you converting a cab?

Converting what I believe was an NBA Jam cab originally.  It wasn't in the best shape so I'm not sure.

I have it completely sanded and a coat of primer on it already.

Any FAQs on decasing a TV around here and the best ways to mount them.  It's the only "problem" I have left that I'm not sure how I'm going to do.

I really don't mind the 25", either.  I'm just glad I found an S-video capable TV really.
