comfun1 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I want to install a 19" flat screen using a swing away type wall bracket and have a few questions. Will it stay in place while driving with the bumps, vibrations, stopping and starting and all? I believe it only weighs about 6 or 7 lbs. The bumps won't tear it loose or damage the tv will it?

Gulfstream Greg Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 If its on an arm it will move around. Ya just gotta find some way to fasten it back like some Velcro straps or something. If it did extend out and you hit a big bump it could rip it off the wall, more leverage when its extended out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajadulce Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 haha.. this reminds me of my OLD camper and the little hippie mini computer number we did on it. We had a flat screen monitor mounted to a framed piece of plywood that swung INTO the wall via some hinges and a hook-and-eye for a latch. When in the closed position it sported a colorful jigsaw picture. *out of thieving eyes too. Open, it was a flat screen computer monitor for a little 12v mini-computer. Now of course we all have fancy inverters to run those AC-DC converters for our laptops, but the 12v mini-ITX/12v flatscreen monitor was pretty fun and a fun conversation piece out in the boonies. Wish I had taken a picture. As Greg mentions, You will absolutely have to have this thing fully secured to something pretty solid as well as bounded so it can't swing open while in transit. I think mounting is the way to go tho. Flatscreens just laying around or even stored in a cabinet is a disaster waiting to happen. And it will look cool too.
