Mounting 24" DGM Monitor

[Phunky]

I've bought a Desk Arm Mount for mounting my 24" DGM Monitor but i've stumbled upon a slight problem.

The holes at the back of the monitor are not threaded and the screws that came with the mount do not fit the holes (Slip right through them)

Now i was planning on going to any DIY shop i could find and just buy some self threading screws and have away with it, but my problem is Lans... i go to a lot of Lan around the UK and will be taking this beast with me and so i may need to be able to take it off and with it being using self threaded screws im not sure how well that will work :S

The mount did come with a adapter plate for 75mm to 100mm VESA mount holes and i was thinking of opening up the monitor and "no more nailing" this mount adapter to the back of the monitor on the inside so that i would have somewhere to screw the mount in and out of...

Argh... really dont know what to do, was looking forward to using this on a mount but looks like it might not happen now.

you would still beable to unscrew self tappers, hows about tho get some nuts and bolts and bolting it to the stand ? maybe no more nail some nuts to the back of the holes ?

Yeah thats what i was kinda thinking of myself - i have a mounting plate that is used for making the mount fit onto a 100mm VESA Monitor which has threaded holes.

I guess i could just "no more nails" that to the back of the monitor...

i think that would be your best bet then really

Yeah, just feels like such a hack job :S fingers crossed it will work!

Hi there, sorry for bumping such an old thread!

I have this monitor too and I've got pretty much the same problems as you - the screws for the monitor arm won't fit

Did you get it sorted and if so, how?

Cheers.

I ended up gluing a 75mm -> 125mm mounting plater over the actual crappy plastic drilled holes.

Although it was no good as the desk arm could not support the weight of the monitor :/

Thanks for your reply.

I think I'm going down the same road - going to find the strongest glue I can - No more Nails if anywhere in Glasgow stocks it.

I used Themanite or something like that... was two differnt ones you had to mix but it was more than enough to do the trick.

What stand are you using? or are you using a wall mount? Btw the other problem you will have is removing the neck of the stand :/ sadly you have to take apart the monitor casing to get that out!

About the stand - I just unscrewed it, and off it came!?

It's one of these I'm using - hxxp://svp.co.uk/product/s_and_c_group_zin2072bk_wall_mount_for_13_30_screens_scg007

Arrrr wall mount :/ i was looking for a desk stand - you should have no problem

I took the back off my monitor and put bolts on the inside to act as thread and it seems to have done the trick. Plus I used this and it worked ok with the monitor although I had to use some thread lock

 

[f0rmat]

How did you manage to get the back of it off exactly?

here you go http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee298/the-lbt/?action=view&current=1-stubby-stand.jpg

 

[f0rmat]

Thanks, but I couldn't get the actual whole back off

It is very very fiddly was an absolut pain in the backside I did it you really need two people, I won't do it unless you really want to use bolts to mount it. Oh and I put bolts in and put tape over them so they stick out the back of the case then put on the vesa arm and tighted with nuts.

Could you not make an adaptor plate ?.

Im not familiar with the dimensions etc ,but could you not take a piece of 1/4" ply and mount this to the back of the monitor and then use the ply to mount the wall mount to ?.

Thats what I would try as it would be safe and secure with bolts or screws and also cheap.
