If you use a larger pole-mount display, life becomes much simpler.

I just ordered these two for next day air. Clients are away for the week so i have time to get it installed and determine whether or not it will be acceptable. If the stand works out i have to paint it.

Naxa 13.3" NT-1307



Peerless LCFS-100

Thanks for the update.

I read on a review that stated the power cord sticks out from the side, on some of the Naxa TVs. No specs provided on the 12V connector, but it looks like some kind of 3 pin mini DIN from pictures, and a right angle connector could be a solution, if it's an issue.

I put the stand together and took a few photos. I only ordered 1 of each and i moved it to each machine to see what it would look like. The stand has several pivot points making it easy to land the TV exactly where you want it.

You can't even see the floor standing mounts when using the machines. Difficult to see them when not using the machines also. I don't think i am going to bother with painting them black because the machines are all silver/gray.

Mount has this hole right under the TV like it could be used to hide cables. Problem is that there are no holes at the bottom :).

Naxa TV weighs nothing. Light as a feather. Video quality is okay but the screen is weird when viewing from the side. Luckily these are going right in front of peoples face so it wont be a problem. No discrete but hopefully we can handle it with a power or video sensor.

One weird thing is that the TV's vesa is off center so i have to use a piece of flat steel to center it up on the stand. Weird.

Forgive the grayed out scribble. I am not allowed to share interior photos of projects so i had to hide some things so you cant tell what/whos house its in.

Looks perfect, Mac. Good to see it pivots at the base.

Hole at the top, for cable management, but none at the base? Round end caps of the base removable? I just bought a 1/2" metal cutting carbide bit, for drilling line voltage 'knockouts', for Romex clamp connectors. Klein, $30 at HD. Non-walking tip on the center pilot bit; I don't think cutting tubular steel would be hard with it. Works really well. Prob too small for HDMI, but they had larger.

The ends of the stand are open. Maybe their plan was that you bring the wire out of there. To be honest i don't know how i will manage cables yet. I have a DM-RMC-100 at each TV, a power brick for that and the TV.

Maybe i can hide the bricks inside the base and use one of these to get power to them.


Then you would only see 1 power cord and 1 Fiber cable going into the side of the stand. From there everything else will be hidden. I can mount the RMC on the back of the TV. And look what i found... a 1' HDMI cable ! [Link: monoprice.com]

Client said no to the external TV's so we ended up giving him basic cable at each machine. I think they had 15-20 channels available.

Client probably never uses the gym, anyway.
