shipping monitor

hahaha wow! maybe the worked was using his fingers as a gauge, but forgot he only had 8.

Told ya- didn't get your same screen back.

My Dell monitor does that a bit- the swivel doesn't go back to center correctly, so sometimes it sits a little tilted. If yours is like that, just uh.... "coax" it back into place.

Don't buy a cheap flat panel mount.

Don't buy a cheap flat panel mount.

Trust me. Spend the extra money on a good one.

 

[reckedracing]

i dunno. is that even wide enough for both arms to hit studs on 16-on center?

no it will not hit 16 on center
Dimensions:13.39" X 11.26" X 2.36"

well, i bought a wall mount.
walmart had a nice single stud, up to 32", 60lb tilt low profile mount for $40.

charing my drills battery... and figuring out how to arrange my office to mount this thing.... here goes nothing

 

[TurboMirage]

do you have a studfinder? or are you going to wing it?

 

[neonmike]

Oh god your gettin the drill out. If you need the joint compund call me i am out of work at 6

 

[DarkHand]

Somebody find that wall picture.

 

[Briansol]

yes i have a stud finder.

i'm not hiding wires, so i won't be ruining the wall other than the 2 screw holes into the stud for the mount.

 

[awptickes]

You can do a really clean install....

 

[invisibledemon]

lol

 

[Briansol]

VuePoint is what i got.

 

[Briansol]

wall mounting complete no Spackle necessary

I also took the time to dust/clean. nasty behind there... lol

it hangs a little crooked... the weight of it titlts it a bit at the wingnut. i may have to revisit it. the mount itself is flush and plum, so i don't know... it will work for now. i just angled my desk a little bit so that i'm looking at the monitor straight, not straight at the wall.

how'd i do?

 

[95b16coupe]

looks a little bit low.

good setup though. it gave you an excuse to clean.

 

[Briansol]

i wanted it low. it's f'in huge. on the stand, just 3 inches off the desk, the top 4 inches of it were simply out of view. right on the desk, now only the top inch is out of view. its WAY better like this. I measured it perfectly so it can go on its full tilt without hitting the desk, but is right on it

 

[Hondadude141]

Great mount job!

And you have Vista... I'm sorry...

 

[Briansol]

yeah, i'm debating trying win7 on it... i just have so much shit (programs, siteback ups, etc etc) and i hate UPGRADES. gotta do a full clean format.

plus, i don't want to fuck it up. my pc is my only way of making money right now. if i lose this, i'm screwed.

 

[nootrac22]

Is that room salmon or pink?

 

[Briansol]

it's actually a 'blood red'. my camera just fucks it up with the flash.

it's due for a paint job... it's the oem paint from the people i bought it from.

 

[awptickes]

lol@oem paint.

Nah, that room is actually a lot darker than it looks in photos. It's a pretty good color.
