How do I mount my TRU-Vu monitor?
- We also provide optional wall-mount brackets and tabletop bases. Visit our Mounting Brackets and Bases page for compatible options.
- For monitors 8.4″ and larger, all units include 4 standard VESA mounting holes (75×75 mm, 100×100 mm, or 200×200 mm). Use M4 screws (sink ≤ 6–7 mm) for units up to 32″, and M6 screws (sink ≤ 7 mm) for 42″ and larger.
- If you prefer panel-mount installation, refer to our Panel Mount Monitor Instruction Guide for step-by-step directions.
What is the recommended method to clean an LCD monitor screen without protective glass?
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth moistened lightly with a 50:50 solution of distilled (or deionized) water and isopropyl alcohol.
- Never spray the solution directly on the screen—apply it to the cloth.
- Gently wipe in one direction, avoid excessive pressure (which may damage the LCD cells).
- Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners (e.g. Windex) or household glass cleaners: they may damage the display’s anti-reflective or polarizing coatings.
How should I clean monitors that do have protective glass over the LCD panel?
- You can use the same methods above.
- We recommend a high-quality screen cleaner like Whoosh! Screen Cleaner, which is safe, streak-free, and free from ammonia and alcohol, suitable for systems with glass enclosures.
I don’t see exactly what I need. Do you offer customization?
Absolutely. We provide custom and modified industrial monitors tailored to your specifications. Some customizable options include:
- Video input types and interfaces
- LCD panel brightness and viewing angles
- Enclosure materials, shapes, and ingress protection
- Branding (private label) or custom logos
- Special power or mounting requirements
