How to Placement MDFs On The Monitor

[Devrim]

Hi guys.

 

I see your home cockpits with multi-monitor and Thrustmaster MDFs etc.

 

I've received my MDFs a few days ago, and I have a 21" LCD monitor. How you guys place MFDs on the monitor? I want them to put on the screen, but I don't want to stick them permanently, because I use it as a second monitor in other works (video rendering or arranging music etc.). So, is there a practical way to install/uninstall them easily?

 

Could you please share your thoughts and experiences?

 

Thanks you in advance.

I use them like this....I can't see from small MFD picture so I decided to separate mfds from mfd picture. And these are not attached to display anyway...

I taped 2 of the corners and the corner that touches the monitor, I add a cushion so it rest on the screen. I've had it like that for a few years and haven't ran into any problems.

I did something like Cali, but I used Velcro to attach the mfds to the monitor frame but still with a pad under the corner over the display itself.

 

Now that I am using a touch screen that pad doesn't work so I have, for the time being, retired them.

Oops, I meant I used velcro instead of tape.

Good to know. :)

:) Thank you all for your help!

 

Glad to see these. It's good to see that you're not doing a magic. :) Because it's seen like this in cockpit pictures that took in a distance. :D

 

Your methods have already in my mind. I thought I was thinking nonsense, but I'm now happy after see what you've done.

 

Well, I'll apply one of these techniques. :) By the way I'm surprised Scotch® Restickable Mounting Dots can carry that weight very long time. :) *An advertisement :D

 

Thanks again people! Much appreciated.

Same as some here, I use 3 velcro stickers on the monitor bezel, to match 3 corners of the MFD frame, and a sticky pad on the fourth corner that rests on the monitor screen.

The velcro option is handy when switching between the A-10C and Ka-50, as MFDs can easily be removed (I use helios profiles for both aircraft).

Before I used Helios on a touch screen I attached my MFCD's with a small blob of Blue tac on each corner, clean and simple.

I have a piece of plexiglass on top of the LCD - it fits snugly inside the bezel. The MFDs are attached with 2-sided tape.

 

It used to be glass until the cat decided she didn't like it that much... got a little shard in my foot several months after the little incident :(

Or you could simply overlay the screen with a very thin piece of MDF and cut out the panel holes, then place your MFD on top of the MDF instead :)
