Re: Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

Nice set up. I suppose its not for everyone having the big screen but for me its a very worthwhile upgrade. I looked at some of those articulated arm mounts but I thought they would be a bit 'wobbly' for bigger heavier screens. Either way its making the whole rowing experience more immersive and enj...

I use one of these to mount a 32 in screen above the PM5 - fits perfectly.
Hi,
Is this mounted to the machine itself ?
cheers, mike

Re: Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

All I'd say is that if you do supply the kit, then you are going to need a really good set of terms and conditions so you aren't liable if someone is electrocuted. Hi, I'm pretty sure all modern tvs are double insulated meaning they are designed in such a way that the electrical parts can never com...

Re: Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

I think that looks great. Will probably work well for the Peloton app. Sounds like you needed a lot of modification to raise the rower arm along with a longer PM5 cable. How much did the cost of those modifications set you back? Do you find the PM5 is too high for you at that level? Hi, Im not sure...

Probably to close to you as well, viewing distance wise, is it 4K or just full HD 1080p ?
Hi,
its 1080.
You might think its too close but it actually works really well.
Its only as close as the PM5 or mounted iPads.

cheers.

Re: Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

I only ever row to music, so a TV would be no use to me, but the possibility of breaking it with the handle would be my biggest concern. Thanks Screen damage is a concern but you really would have to be reckless with the handle release. A 28" monitor or TV might be a better option to mount it sligh...

Re: Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

My tv is mounted on the wall to be honest so it wont get hit by the handle or chain. Have you earthed the rower as I'd be concerned about getting a shock? Thanks for your thoughts. I tried the rower near my tv but it felt a bit far away and disconnected from the machine. I found the ipad better tha...

Big screen Upgrade - What do you think ?

Hi, I find rowing sessions a bit boring at home so decided to explore a big screen 'Peloton style' mod. I was fed up with the limited size of my iPad/mobile phone set up. So I mounted a 32" smart TV and now I have access to row along vids on YouTube, Zwift and Netflix etc Its taken me about 6 weeks ...
