Hi all,
With my new rudders finished the next step on my sim rebuild is fitting the monitors to my new MIP, I came up with a neat idea I thought was worth sharing! The monitors on my old MIP were very difficult to adjust, (Color, contrast, screen position etc). To adjust them they had to be lifted off the MIP in a laborious trial and error process and I thought there's no way I'm going to do that again! I have mounted the monitor control card in a hidden spot behind the bezel hinge and it has turned out great, descriptions are on the pics!






That will make adjustments very easy from now on, one down, two to go...
Cheers, Gwyn

Thanks Gwyn,

What a novel idea. I have my monitor control cards hanging in the back of my MIP. Your idea has come at the right time as I have yet to make my bezels and I can now incorporate your idea into my design.

Good idea.
I did it this way for my lower DU 12"which has to be switched on everytime.

Nice work Gwyn, will this be a mod in my 777 MIP (when I eventually get it back to you for finishing)?

Can do mate if your monitor cards will fit. I took apart my other monitors and even though they are the same model they all had different control boards, doh! How does that work??? I need to get you over to update my website again if you can swing it.
