    Ah yes, this will work perfectly for my monitor that connects to the stand via a plug at the base instead of a goofy metal L on the back

  • @swilhelm3180

    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 UA-cam 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!

    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.

    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
    @jamess6853 8 років тому +1

    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).

    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
