Title: Anyone Stuff a Makvision 27" Tri-mode in an MK cabinet
Post by: ctozzi on October 03, 2011, 11:03:50 pm: Does it fit, and does it mount on the factory mounts ? Any pictures would be great. i'd like to see the windows desktop as well to see if it's blurry or crisp and clear like an LCD.

Thanks
Chris

IIRC, Big Buck Hunter is designed for a 27". MK is designed for a 25".

Wow quick response! How was the fitment? Easy install with no modification of the mounts?

My monitor is fairly crappy with a lot of burn in, and needs to go.

Post by: ctozzi on January 12, 2012, 11:22:50 pm: bolts right in with the mounts in the cabinet, zero modification needed, make sure you order the power cord to save the frustration. Its a flat screen with an included bezel to close the gap around the rounded plastic bezel in the cabinet now. I just put some tape on the back of the new bezel to hold it to the monitor. Whatever you here about makvision is crap, it's the nicest picture of any of my 9 cabinets.

Post by: RejectedManiac on July 09, 2012, 08:51:11 am: Not to start bring up an old topic but if that's a 27" MakVision in there it looks like it fits in there perfect! In the German thread that is.

Post by: RejectedManiac on July 09, 2012, 10:10:09 am: It's cool. No worries. The 27" he has in there actually looks like the viewable area might be 25". I know the 29" Makvision's have a 27" viewable area.
