I bought 7 of them, and as luck would have it when they got delivered to me my brother came and saw them so he promptly relieved me of 3 of them ! 
He is a photographer/designer and has a very expensive 32" one i had to go and buy in Macedonia for him: www.instagram.com/korniza.studio/
Now that we have PlasmaC to play with colours they are niceeeeee, although Axis GUI never looked so nice and crisp.
And yes they are used for everything besides controlling the machines.
On the topic of PlasmaC colours, i could not find a nice combo yet, so if anyone has figured that out, let me know please. So far the best i get is the yellow Phill chose.

Well I almost have an idea that mounts the screen on an arm off the wall above the tailstock with the keyboard mounted under it on an angle to the same vesa bracket.
Was starting to make up a bracket but the new keyboard/trackpad doesn't let the computer boot...started a new thread for that weirdness before I make any brackets

Beautiful machine, we had a HNC and a CHNC oil bath machines at one of the places I worked. And the machining...nice...
I like the console, that was my original idea back before I lost access to that end of the machine. Hard to watch the video though, started getting a headache a few minutes in...
Once I get past this keyboard issue I'm going to mock something up to see if it'll work hanging from the monitor.
Someday I have to get back to getting those macro's working for me (sorry, I work everything in imperial...)
Thanks again for the picks and video

Where did you buy that monitor for 60Eurs?

Have a look at my machines, i use 22 to 24 inch monitors on all of them, retrofits included, i did check industrial ones and got terrified at what is these days called industrial. Oh and they are really small !
I got the 24" Eizo ones for 60 Euro each, used, and i can bet my life it will work for much longer in a dusty shop than the industrial ones i worked with, these are 12KG of Japanese engineering each. And two of them a literally outside in this winter bolted to a column, still working despite temps going from +22 to -15 and the humidity being terrible.

Well finally got the keyboard/boot sorted out and cobbled together a keyboard mount that attached to the VESA screen mount bracket. So far so good but it's only had limited usage at this point (one small job so only a few hours)
A little bouncy but actually surprisingly steady, I'll have to see if there's some joint I can tighten to make it better but all things equal I think it's ok-ish
