Important note: While many folks who modded these with 32" screens just said to loosen the bolts on the side/corners of the cabinet, you also need to loosen the bolts where the hinges of the display mount attach inside the cabinet to allow it to open up as well. Also, I cut 1" x 1" strips of wood that were 1mm wider than the new monitor and tucked one up at each end of the cabinet to take the pressure off the screen. I didn't do this at first, and it cracked the first monitor I had.
When I upgraded my Arcade1up pinball's play field display to an LG32GN63T 32" 2k 165hz monitor, I wanted to still have the ability to lift the play field on the hinged stock frame for working on the internals of the machine. Just having the monitor laying on the frame allowed it to slide around and get out of place when lifting it up, and required reaching under the monitor to grab the frame to lift it up on the hinges. Putting it back down always involved spending time trying to get the monitor lined up just right to not be cut off or leave gaps once the glass and metal edges were back on.
I designed these brackets to connect to the stock screw holes in the frame that metal brackets from the stock monitor were connected to, and to the VESA mounts on the display. This keeps it in place as well as pulls up the wooden frame when you lift the monitor up.
I know this is really specific to this exact model of monitor, but I figured I would post it in case it gives the idea to anyone else to make them for their monitor. Included is the messy OpenSCAD file I made putting it together. If at some point I have time to clean it up I'll update it, but hopefully at least for now it can be a starting point for someone.
