What people need is to know how to hold the monitor from all 4 corners! BTW, your dad's expressions are priceless! And your enthusiasm is great. No wonder you have so many subs. Its so unusual to have parents involved yet this adds an aspect of authenticity rarely seen on RU-vid because almost nobody younger ever involves their parents. Nice to see. Also its relevant to a wider age group further increasing your view. Very wise!

@pyroslev 7 лет назад

I did use this solution. The insulation wasn't required for my install but still, not a bad idea. One issue that I wanted to not if you are doing a dorm room style desk under loft bed install. My main monitor is an AOC 22" similar to the one in the video with a smaller/older Acer 19" as my secondary. They don't sit at the same level. The two options were have the AOC higher and the Acer lower, scraping the desk almost OR flip AOC, flip the portrait and have them nearly level with the Acer a bit higher. I did the second option as the Acer is my TV of sorts. Not Ideal but a heck of a lot cheaper than the $30 for the adapter bracket. I am still getting that or a better VESA arm kit when budget permits for now, this $12.32 solution is GREATTTTTT.

@jamess6853 8 лет назад

Ironically convenient video, considering the fact that I plan to buy the 23" version of the same monitor. A sidenote: It's a clever mod for anyone with the same monitor brand in case one wants to keep it in new condition (or the need to ever revert back to the included stand).

@AllButJustForgotten 8 лет назад

blue flamingo. I was actually working on a 3 monitor setup and JUST realized that my AOC models (IPS same as the video model) had no vesa mounting hardware. So this video was exactly what I was looking for. Did your 3 monitor mount allow you to adjust height? do all 3 sit around the same height? or is it different due to the modification.

It really begs the question why certain monitor manufacturers were stupid enough to think that it was somehow a good idea not to include vesa mounts as a default feature in the first place. If we can do it for $5, they could do it for even less than that! >:(

Does the foam pipe insulation size matter? Like some is 3/8 in x 3/4 in, while others is just 3/4 in. Also do the screws you showed in the description have nuts, on home depot's website it doesnt say so

@capone315 8 лет назад

@Shirodx 5 лет назад

I have two of those monitors and did this hack today so I can say that it works. I noticed halfway through you flipped the bolts, (See 2:31, then 2:32). Just wished you would have said something about that. It would have saved me some time... Otherwise a good video.

@Flipgrav1 9 лет назад

so i might be wrong but im pretty sure that brand of monitor (and this DYi will only work for this brand) actually makes a adaptor for vesa and if something goes wrong atleast u can blaime them.

@mario6148 8 лет назад

He's talking about the VESA -adapter-. An -adapter- will usually cost you about $20 PER monitor. Here it costs you $5 per monitor, to make your own VESA -adapter-.

@dannguyen-je8no 6 лет назад

I tried this and I think there are problems you don't mention in your video. One, you need a very high quality monitor mount ($75-100) to support the monitor weight, plus the additional weight caused by latching the monitor mount onto the monitor neck, instead of the monitor directly. My mount can handle the AOC monitor weight, but can't keep itself upright because it's not directly attached to the monitor. So now I have to tilt the monitor up at an abnormal angle to keep the weight distribution even. It's my fault for being cheap and finding a DIY solution, but it'd be nice if you could point out the cons with your solution next time. Also the screws you listed should be a tiny bit longer. I had a pain trying to get the washers on with the short screws. Luckily I had some spare of the same width but longer length.

@Kori-ko 8 лет назад

If it helps, VESA standards say the holes should be spaced 75mm apart, so any bracket where you can thread both screws 75mm apart will do.
