I really am in need of a 2-3 monitor setup, I used to have dual monitors but I am down to 1 old crappy one now (had to sell my dual setup). So now my search for something is on with:
So my question, can a monitor without the vesa style holes still be mounted like it has them? IF not is there somewhere to find just monitors with them? |

You might be able to make your own mounting adapter plate. Find longer screws that fit the existing holes, and mark their pattern. You might even be able to drill extra holes into an existing adapter. Monitors usually use 75x75 or 100x100 hole patterns. The screws are metric "M4", basically 4mm outer diameter, but I think the inner diameter 3.3mm for drilling. VESA says 10mm long, plus a bit for the thickness of the metal. I also saw a "how to" video for making monitor hanger out of an old CD drive metal enclosure. But a safer idea might be to use or improvise some type of shelf. For example, although the original non-VESA mount had 4 screw holes, I wonder if those screws bore all of the weight, or maybe they just kept it in place do that plastic parts did the real "lifting". |

If a monitor doesn't have a vesa mount, then it's likely that manually drilling 4 holes in its back will seriously damage it. You can start your shopping with visiting a real physical computer store and physically check which models are vesa-mount capable. |
