How to Mount Your LCD Monitor
If you’re planning on mounting an LCD monitor to the wall, you’ll need to find the right mount for the make and model and size of monitor that you have. Once you’ve done that, getting it placed in the right area is vital. You also need to make sure that you understand how the mount attaches to the monitor and how the mount attaches to the wall.
It has to be straight and level, first, or the monitor will always be crooked. It’s also important that the screws for the mount be installed into a wall stud, or that special wall brackets are used to make sure that the drywall won’t be damaged and that the wall can support the weight of the LCD monitor.
Measure the wall carefully where you want to mount the bracket for the monitor arm, and use a level to ensure that you get it straight and even. Carefully drill the holes and follow the instructions carefully. If you take the time to do things right you won’t have to worry about doing it over, patching up the extra holes in the wall, or fighting with the mounting hardware because you didn’t install things correctly. Once the bracket mount is attached to the wall, you can attach the arm to the monitor and then attach the other end to the wall bracket. Have someone help you if necessary to be sure that you don’t drop the monitor.
