Will any large PC monitors wall hang?

Recommended Posts

I want to put a large screen PC monitor on the workshop wall, do any come with a flat to the wall mounting bracket? Need something circa 21 inch or more, resolution need not be superb, cost is an issue as it has more chance of being damaged in a workshop environment. My cheapish LG home monitor has been fine, and I'd use that in the workshop and buy a new / good used one for my office, but it has no obvious means of wall mounting without making something custom. Thanks. If anyone's got something used that would do, please let me know.

does make matter at all?

 

if not would something like.. it has PC input in bold in the info http://www.ebuyer.com/248683-aoc-l32ha91-32-full-hd-1080p-lcd-tv-freeview-3x-hdmi-l32ha91 be to expensive... argos sell wall brackets for not alot.. if you look into it alot of the 'cheap' brand tv's have brand name internals e.g my 42' hanspree is a panasonic under the casing

Almost all monitors come with a standard VESA mount on the rear. Basically 4 little holes a standard size apart.

 

Then just buy a quick release vesa mount and attached it to the wall, attach the other bit to the monitor and of you go.

 

I have tended to use Ergotron mounts as they are sturdy, HP also do a nice quick release version.

Hmmm, TV in the workshop = not a lot gets done :) It would be nice to be able to catch the news and stuff though, never knew you could feed a PC output into a TV, I suppose that's because I've never had a digital TV (no, really, we are still analogue with proper CRT's :)). Thanks for the info, opens up an area I hadn't thought of.

Funny you should mention it! I have, in the shed, a couple of 40" LCD Computer monitors. Huge bloody great things, think they are for in bars/shops, that sort of thing. I use one as my computer monitor, it is excellent! I think theyre a sanyo make or something. I got them as part of a deal a while ago, I need £300 for one to see my money back. Let me know if your interested :) Oh yeah and I hang it on the wall with 4 sturdy expanding wall bolts, it has slots in the back that will go straight onto a bolt head.
