Help mounting monitor.
-
@bkeyport Hi, I use an aluminum Dibond plate with a cut in the monitor size. This has the advantage that it is really dark behind the spy mirror. On the other hand, the plate in my large frame (100 x 54 cm) is also there to stiffen the frame. And finally, everything on the plate (controller, Raspberry, junction boxes, cables …) can be very nicely mounted / glued.
In this frame, the monitor then simply holds with a few tapes and two metal angles.

it’s hard for me to tell what’s holding the monitor in place in your pics, honestly - and your post is actually what spawned this one - because to me, it looks like the monitors just float there, which I know isn’t possible (yet?)

I will try to take some photos on the weekend, on which the holder is recognizable.

All 3 blogs show their approach how to keep the mirror glass and the monitor in place.
