I use a 19 inch LCD monitor for mine.

But these are tablet computers not screens, how would i use them for the Cougar

Cali, how did you use a 19 inch monitor to fit Thrustmaster Cougar MFD. may be a easier than the smaller monitors

You velcro the MFDs to the upper left and right corners of the monitor and setup your monitor.lua to display the left and right MFD viewports on the monitor so that they appear inside of the frames. If you use Helios you can add whatever instruments you want in the rest of the space.

 

Like this except you attach the MFD frames over the images (Here the MFD frames are part of the Helios display):

have a look at this thread:

Display MFCDS in lower corners?

What Cichlidfan said, I velcroed them on the corners and added some support to the sides that touch the screen. Works perfectly for me, been using it like that for about 8 months.

 

This is what it first looked like when I did it, it looks a lot better now.

Looks all very neat, but i was looking to get two small LCD's that fit well with the MFD's to put on my desk. I also dont want to glue them onto my other screens since i eventually want to setp all three up with DCS(if i can make that run smooth).

I didn't glue them, I used velcro and they can be removed at any time. There are plenty of threads in here where people bought little USB monitors that would work for you, goggle Lilliput monitors.

Yes I use a setup pretty similar to Cali, but slightly different.

 

Have a look at this:

 

 

Notice it's on a wooden frame (velcro'd), and the wooden frame is easily removable.

Ive had the same setup as the previous posts but i reverted back to be able to use my desk for other stuff than flying sims.

 

So now im missing my Cougar MFDs. I have been looking for small, cheap usb/vga monitors but no luck here. Most of them got RCA output.

 

Lilliput and Mimo will cost too much at the moment.

Do you have any recommendations?
