I cut out my own frame out of wood to hold the LCD screens and used double sided tape for cougar mfds.

Well using Velcro would still require a Velcro strip be glued to the LCD.

 

I myself am in a similar situation, I have a 19" LCD that I want to use for the A-10c MFD information, and I want to attach the cougar panels without damaging the screen. I remember this rubber cement like glue I used when I was a kid called mucilage that was non toxic and was easily removed from non porous surfaces. I'm thinking this may be the way to go.

When I had my MFD attached to my 8" touchscreen I used velcro. I would not let the velcro touch the surface of the screen though.

Attach velcro to the monitor bezel (plastic outside the screen), and use strips of rubber to pad the MFD edges that cover part of the screen itself - sticking/gluing anything directly to your monitor face is bad juju if you ever want to reposition/change it.

I used dbl sided sticky tape on the bezel and a cotton ball under the lower rt and lt corners of the mfd's that sit on the monitor..works great:pilotfly:

I will suggest you go cut a piece of pixel glass(2~3mm), drill some 2.5mm holes and use some M3 screw to fix the TM MFD bezels,then use tape or other material to fix your 4:3 8 inch LCD panel in the back. Use the way that you can remove the LCD panel without damage it is better.

 

The pixel glass can provide protection to your LCD panel too, and you can apply some paint on the pixel glass(not the display area) to prevent light leaking and increase looking.

One way to go about this is to build a small box around the displays and keeping the feet which come with the displays. Pictures in Input & Output forum:

This way you don't have to glue anything on the TFT-panels.

Blutak! excellent way to attach to the Screen

I just wish some manufacturer would come out with a 1:1 aspect ratio screen to use in these bezels. Sure, for the quantities used the cost would suck, but I can dream. :)

TM themselves should come up with such product. Two TRUE mfd's, the size of those in real A10. These are somewhat bigger than those in F16 and with sharp edges. They'd sell like hotcakes!

 

But would one USB be enough to power the screen and the bezel buttons?

Use a screen protector to avoid damaging it and double-sided tape. Only in the corners is enough
