i'm looking for a way to transport LCD computer monitors

[prophetik music]

kinda like a LAN bag, but just for the monitor. i've got a 17" and i'm getting a 22", and i think it's high time to have a way to transport them that doesn't involve a comforter from my bed.

any ideas? google's never found me anything for this.

Moved to Help & Newbies, simply because this isn't really a ReMixing question per se... monitors are more general computer tech help.

I'm assuming you have a car...

What I did was put the monitor on a seat with the screen facing the backrest of the seat. Then I put a seatbelt around it like it was a little kid. Put a towel around it too if you want. My monitor has been in pristine condition since the day I got it.

Falchion's is the best method, sans having the original box with the big styrofoam bits in it. A big towel or a light blanket is good if you're feeling extra paranoid.

I had to do that with my new TV since I got the floor model [lol]

[prophetik music]

well, my computer gets one seat, and my monitors generally get the other ones in my car.

however, i'm looking for an actual strap to carry them around. i know they exist, they were all over magfest's LAN room last year. i just don't know where anyone got them. to tell the truth, i wouldn't mind a nice strap for my computer, too - the one i've got is a little old and worn.

[prophetik music]

anybody got anything?

[Kanthos]

Could you find out who was in charge of the LAN room and ask them what they used and where it came from?

[prophetik music]

that was two years ago, unfortunately.

this is an uber-old topic, but it's still relevent. does anyone know ways to transport lcd monitors that doesn't involve a towel or comforters? i'm not looking for a method, but a strap or something i can purchase.

much better response than i've gotten so far. thanks, man!

[phill]

Took a couple of minutes of googling different combination's of words before anything other then heavy duty cases and monitor/case combos came up. Really doesn't look like there is much more out there then that. There is always your mom, assuming she can do that sort of thing

[prophetik music]

yeah, she's not likely to make anything worth the time of using =) i dug around a lot when i originally posted, but i was looking under the terms 'bag' and 'case', not harness.

This one came up under lcd carrying case I believe

[SenPi]

Personally I just use the boxes they came in. Still have all the styrofoam and whatnot, plus the boxes themselves have a carrying handle

[prophetik music]

the boxes themselves are bulky, though, when you get to 22" monitors.

[SenPi]

well mine are 21.6" LCD monitors. The boxes arent all that much bigger than the monitor itself which makes them nice carrying cases

[kitty]

For my new 24" monitor I just use the box as well. But it gets to be a hassle because it's so damn big. If it wasn't so fricking tall it'd be perfect. But I also don't want to be paying $40+ for a case when I can just use a cardboard box with styrofoam.

[phill]

The more I think about it, the more I think I could use a pair of these. I tossed out the boxes a while back and although I don't move the LCDs to often, some sort of carrying case could come in handy. Since I'm student poor at the moment, I may just hunt down a large piece of cardboard and some thin foam and make something out of that.
