Nice to see fellow youtubers explaining/showing mistakes instead of perfect videos with stuff hidden in the background. What size monitor did you end up choosing?
I'm not sure why folks feel the need to fabricate a mount. I literally have 4 blocks about 4" x 1" in the locations where the TV can sit and it works fine. Easy in and easy out of I want.
because when you have a large flat panel and you are going to lay it flat you want all the weight on the vesa mount points not on the edges and corners. same reason you don't lay a tv down flat when you put it in your car to take home. when you have corner blocks you have all the weight and stress on the most fragile points of the TV. It's not about mounting it, it's about where the stress is.
@@gottahavitvt I get your point, but most LCDs are so light nowadays (mine is 21 pounds), it doesn't seem too susceptible to bowing merely as a result of being propped up on its sides. In other words, when installed, I never once thought that there was too much weight distribution in the middle that it would cause sagging over time. It sems actually very well supported.
Love this Virtual Pinball series - just cannot believe you used no glue at all - only screws. But hey it worked! Nice job.
Nice to see you posted your mistakes as well, everyone makes them when building a cab lol

I can't believe you ripped up a 50+ dollar piece of plywood to make 5 dollars in 1X3 inch scrap wood.
