Thanks for the video in 2022. I used it to buy and install the mount on my old monitor and it works great!
Thanks. I’m about the remove the mount from mine 😆.
Great video! Loving it!
I don't know how some people can have their screens so low. It confuses me! I use a 16:10 Dell Ultrasharp 24" display at its highest setting and it's almost perfect. Most people seem to like monitors down low for some reason.
I just ordered an arm for my apple monitors and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to remove the existing stand. But this tutorial makes it very clear! Thanks!
No worries. Glad it helps.
Step-by-step guide. I'll use this informative video in a future. Thanks!
Thanks. I’m actually plan a removal video as I don’t use this monitor in my set up anymore.
Fitting starts at 5:00. Apart from that very good tutorial vid.
Yes, why is it that you tubers doing videos like this (and I am thankful for it, don't get me wrong) always have these VERY long preambles before they get to the actual "thing" that they're doing?
Really useful Video!! Can the vesa mount work for the latest standard 21.5" iMac, with the thinner display? Thanks
I recommend an Asus VN247HP monitor for multiple monitor mounting. It is a very good high-quality monitor with a gorgeous full 1080p HD display and a very thin bezel which is less then 1 cm.
Thanks for the video. You could put an external accelerometer* behind the monitor, then let it talk to your mac and change the rotation automatically. * For example using Arduino or something smaller/cheaper.
I use a Mac app called "ResolutionTab" on my MBP, using a global shortcut I can toggle between two resolutions, that app also could do the trick for you (although it doesn't support orientation, you can always do a feature request ;-)
Interesting, like to mess with something like that.
Great job with the tutorial. Had no idea I could remove the stand and wall mount this bad boy.
This was very helpful. Apple isn't clear in their description on how the mount works.
Great video. Really found this helpful. Thanks for putting this on.
+dawn clark No worries, thanks.
Large mount bolts aren't lining up (off by 1-2mm). I have the bracket attached with 8 torx screws.... do I maybe need to redo that part?
Note on alignment: Monitor arranged same as in video... the edge of where the screw hole is, is closest to you. So, off center. So, I can see the screw hole it is just off to the right (closest to FCC, etc letters).
Fanstastic video.
Thanks mate.
I did a quick little bit of research. you can order it with the mount instead of the standard base, but they don't seem to offer the mount as an after market part. That sucks to be honest.
Hi I am having some trouble fitting the original stand back on to my mac monitor removing the vesa bracket, please can someone help me!
This video made me miss my old G4 17" imac lamp, that thing was fucking awesome, then it died:/
You look like Totti 👍🏻
Don’t know who that is, but…thanks. 🤷🏼♂️
No worries, thank you.
What's the model number of this ergotron monitor arm? Can it mount 27 inch monitors?
+soio doi www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/317/language/en-AU/Default.aspx depends on weight
thanks
New monitors have accelerometer for this . Good call
I’m a forward thinker. 😆
Great video! What is the brand of the articulating mount you are using? I'm looking for a good wall mount that can rotate and am having trouble finding one. Thanks!
This is only relevant to pre-2013 models. I have a 2015 Imac and it is not possible to remove the base as described in this video. You need an adapter that attaches to the base.
They do appear to have added this again for the iMac Pro, but yes for a few years it was a factory option at purchase only.
this stand removal method does not work on our A1311, tried and tried and tried with different cards and card type and even a metal ruler.
NPG SD A1311 refers to multiple iMacs, what is the specific model?
The one I have works, but the networking is dead. :(
great video, thank.
Good video, thank you.
What size screw did you need to mount the arm to the VESA plate?
+Evan Melgren Not sure they came with it.
Great vid
Thanks.
can i only use the apple monitor for apple or can i hook it up to my pc ?
Yes you can depending on the port.
I just got an old Cinema Display, and it is a DVI port which my pc has too.
Hi Simon, Could you please tell me what brand and model your Monitor Swingarms are? I have a 27 inch Apple Cinema display that I'd like to mount on a Swingarm. I'm in Brisbane, Australia. Regards, Andy
Blazer Transcription Services it’s an Ergotron, not sure of the model, they may not make mine anymore. Check their website, just be sure to check that the arm you select can carry the weight of the 27”. www.ergotron.com/en-au/
This question is unrelated to the vesa mount, i have an Apple 24" display and it doesn't tilt. It's stuck facing down, any suggestions on how I can fix it? Apart from taking it into the Apple store, of course! ;)
Shaun Matthews is it locked in the down position? Or does it fall loose down to that position? If it's locked down have you tried using a card like in the video? Maybe it locked down there. If it's not that, maybe it's broken.
TechMyLifeVideo It's locked in that position.
And yes, I did try the card trick
Shaun Matthews have tried using a card to see if it somehow got locked?
TechMyLifeVideo Ihit LIKE for that !!! Hi from Brasil !!! Incredible !!! I din't knew it was possible !!! THANKS !!!
#TMJ ... #S4536t ...
+Silent Note Thanks
very informative
+Steve Davies Thanks
I'll try, thanks for the support.
Ergotron
can this work with an IMac 27 inch retina display?
No, the new thin iMacs are sold with either a standard stand or a VESA mount. You can't swap it anymore. #thissucks
Wicked
You mean sit closer to the ground? Now why didn't I think of that!? Oh yeah, that's right.
Works in iMAC 21.5 middle 2010?
+joseppfit02 joseppfit02 If it's a fat one yes, if it's the super slim no.
Sorry, I don'y underestand...
you don't know the differnce between macs? Some ahve a thin edge like the current models, old ones are thick. thick ones can be changes to Vesa, thin cannot.
It's Rory from Doctor Who.
Nice Video. In response to Ben Stickings, below, no you cannot use the VESA Mount Adapter on the 2013 iMac (21.5 or 27"). You have to order the computer with the VESA Mount adapter installed from Apple. I also found this out after ordering, receiving and trying to install the adapter for hours as shown in the video.

Hello Totti??? :D
Cristian Paradiso huh?
Sorry... :D You look exactly like Franceso Totti an Italian football player who just retired ;)
Cristian Paradiso I looked him up, yeah I guess I do a bit. :)
d
MCdernst exactly
@@TechMyLifeVideo Haha sorry meant to type out a full message. Was curious what the model of this mount set up is?
Love the videos by the way!
Oh good God man... could you possibly have dragged out something to simple any longer!!!???
+Robb Penoyer yes, yes I can. I will next time just for you.
That not an iMac, more like apple cinema display
+MinBCraft That's why the video title says Cinema Display

SORRY I DIDNT KNOW APPLE GOOD LAST YEAR
лол
LLLLOOOOLLLL
Leave it to Apple to ruin something as simple as a monitor... Just buy a better monitor from a less shitty company...
Which part did they ruin? Best monitor I've used by a video long way and the new ones are better. I looked at others, nothing is close in my eyes. Ps the new Imani's bad though cause you can't after market the stand.
+TechMyLifeVideo Proprietary connectors, and a monitor with nothing special going on for three times the cost, and lack of VESA without a mount. You're paying extra for the apple on the back, not any extra quality.
+Dominic Kirby the quality is vastly better with Apple, on a wide range of level. Not in need of ports that are out dated. You pay more upfront and get greater live span and less issues.
Ugly stand
8 years on. Still more functional and solid than most of the rubbish that is current sold, that really only has aesthetics in mind. I also spend zero time looking at my desk or monitor stand and I’m too busy creating.
@@TechMyLifeVideo So, it is good. But ugly. OK.
5 minutes before the relevant content began. Thumbs down.
+MyDataBelongs2Me your data now belongs to me...hahahaaaa
a lot of youtubers do that. it is called an intro. Ever heard of one? Bye
enuff with apple scams
