There are a lot of brackets for mounting monitors on a vertical wall. They are all different in design, in the fastening method, in reliability, and, if possible, used for working with certain devices. But there is one strict requirement - the monitor connectors must be located either on the end parts or in such a place where they are accessible after strengthening. Otherwise, it simply will not be possible to use, or the fastening features should be such that this question does not arise.

The industry in different countries produces three main types of the monitor arm. This list includes:

• hard type Arm;
• inclined mount;
• swivel mechanism.

They all work in different ways. The choice is large enough to fit any monitor on the wall. So far, the most popular model of Monitor Arms is Vesa.

How to hang a computer monitor correctly?

Several important factors to consider when mounting the Monitor Arms and positioning the monitor close to a wall. The main one is that all the main connectors and controls for the device are accessible. If they are not positioned correctly, the rigid Arm cannot be used. In this case, the monitor simply cannot be used.

But then a swivel Monitor Arm is a good fit, which will allow you to achieve some degrees of freedom.

REFERENCE! A tilt arm is a device that allows you to adjust the vertical angle of the monitor. It is convenient to adjust to eye level and to avoid glare from lighting or sunlight. Usually, such a device is mounted 10-15 cm from the wall.

The most functional is the swingarm. You can customize it as you like with your own hands regarding the user's location. But, as usual, this is at the same time the most expensive solution. The rigid and inclined options cost much less.

At first glance, the monitor is not too heavy a device. If the Monitor mount is fastened well, no accident is possible. But this is a misleading impression; dowels and other fasteners are often simply turned out of the wall, with sad consequences for a glass device that cannot withstand this. To ensure against such a situation, long bolts have been ,tomust-haveused that pass through the wall and are attached with a plate on the opposite side, and then some certain security guarantees will be in place.

We must also remember that not all monitors have a device for attaching to any devices. Then you need to carefully select a mechanism that, for example, can hold the screen on the sides or above and below.

IMPORTANT! It is also important to securely mount the monitor itself. This is one of the weakest points, and often fails under loads. Therefore, you should be especially careful when working.

It should also be remembered that each Monitor Arm has a weight and size limit. This must be taken into account when it is planned to purchase one or another fastening mechanism.

How do I prepare the monitor for the arm?

Many models of modern monitors have special holes for mounting a Monitor Arm. They are located on the rear wall in a specific order, and their location should be taken into account when choosing a fastening mechanism. To hang the monitor to a wall location, you need to remove or drill caps from these holes. Work should be done carefully so as not to damage the boards and other important parts of the monitor.

Mounting a computer monitor to a vertical wall requires some experience with a power tool. In this case, you may need an electric drill with a percussion mechanism, a hammer drill or other more serious tool. They must be equipped with appropriate consumables, for example, a special drill for concrete. The diameter of the latter must be selected, taking into account the characteristics of the Arm. It is also necessary to prepare a very small amount of a solution of gypsum or cement in the usual construction version in order to wipe out the marks that remain after punching holes.

So, after the hole is ready, a dowel is inserted into it. The next step is to attach the plate, which all Arms must have. It is screwed to the dowels with screws and self-tapping screws, which are necessarily included in the mounting mechanism kit. After that, it will remain on the wall to mount the part of the device intended directly for mounting the monitor.

After installing the monitor on the wall, check the fastening from time to time and make adjustments if necessary. In this case, the entire structure will last a long time and will not cause damage to a rather expensive device.
