How To Completely Remove The Samsung Monitor Mount or Stand Hinge

IF THIS VIDEO HELPED YOU - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE- HELP ME GET TO 100k SUBS PLEASE!
Buy this cheap spreader kit if you don't want to mar the plastic: amzn.to/3l190D4
Consider these monitors as a better choice: amzn.to/36xMTAf
Only attempt this if you are comfortable taking monitors apart. You do run the risk of damaging the screen if you are not perfectly careful. This video shows how to completely remove Samsung’s pesky mounting stand and hinge so you can hang your monitor on the wall or use it with a monitor arm. This video shows hot to remove the arm, pedestal AND the rotation hinge that is mounted to the panel from the inside with screws. This removal and assembly can all be done using a flathead screwdriver and a Philips head screwdriver.

The award to the stupidest design goes to Samsung! Thanks dude, you saved me, was going nuts.

[@jaboijill3787]

Dude you can fucking say that again

[@jbdsatvv]

almost destroyed the desktop.. Never Samsung again! Stupid design

[@bekacynthia]

Hahaha, me too! Finally got it off

[@ErikHinrichsen]

God damn, no wonder this monitor was so inexpensive.

[@Sip-that-Soju]

Just destroyed mine I was gonna get a new one anyway but still mad af am korean but this model of monitor ​@@jbdsatvv

[@yapolloable]

Without this video, I'd never ever thought of disassembling the monitor just to remove the stand. Shame on you Samsung.

[@ice69191]

100%

[@nigelhutchinson5332]

Man, this was really perplexing me, I was like "there's no way you have to separate the panels". Thanks for the video. Brutal design.

[@merfibeemused]

Absolutely true and what makes it worse is that Samsung send instructions how to remove it which directs you to swivel the stand arm up and then basically batter the mechanism with your hand and simultaneously pull it down until it comes off....yeah good luck with that one. I bet even the people packaging these in the factory tell anyone they know who's thinking of buying one to steer well clear. RUBBISH DESIGN!

[@Azeerpro]

Same

[@shineman963]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that searched this up

[@ryanmccleave3562]

I can’t begin to describe what curse words I used toward Samsung when I tried to mount this. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Whoever designed this, needs to go back to school. Amateur hour. Thanks again

[@irishish12]

I've never been so relieved to find EXACTLY what I was looking for on the first try. Thank you for your time and effort! Made my night less stressful.

[@micahbell8533]

I can't even fathom what they were thinking when they made this abysmal design and then tacked a Vesa mount on as well. You were a huge help!

[@atique2545]

Warning! So many people actually got help from this nicely demonstrated video but many ended up damaging their monitors including me. I used my Samsung monitor for 5 and a half years and never had I ever faced a single problem.Then I tried to do this carefully but when I removed the hinge, a vertical black line of approx .5 mm appeared in the middle of the screen. It has ruined my beautiful monitor. Those of you who will try this process, kindly keep this in mind.

[@ramirodecono3647]

Hey man, same shit happened to me. This is samsung's fault 100% though, why the fuck would they make that design...

[@murphybrown32216]

I have a vertical line on the left side, anyone have a fix?

[@Jax_Augustin]

@@murphybrown32216 same here, please if anyone knows how to fix it

[@murphybrown32216]

My plan at this point is to heat up and resolder all the solder joints on the power supply board. I have a microscope for working on small stuff and looking at the board, every solder joint on the board is a cold joint and not making good contact. I called Samsung and the secondary number and was told to call the parts number and I would need a new screen. I emailed the parts people who said I needed to call the tech number to find the problem first, they were only parts people.

[@shoto2883]

same happened to me today

[@Connor-wj9op]

Was looking for a solid straight to the point tutorial and this worked great. Thank you!

[@Archifx]

Glad it could help!

[@ryle1683]

whoever design the stand deserves a pro... TO BE FIRED!

[@phenilalanina]

Three years later, you're still helping people with this. I'm moving out and couldn't pack it correctly with that stupid base attached to it. Life saver! Kudos to you, my dear sir.

[@jonathanparle8429]

I just bought a brand new one today and in frustration I was about to use brute force to remove it. Glad I did not. And after reading all the comments I am not going to risk it - I think I can still vesa mount it even with the attachment still stuck to it. Luckily I am not wall mounting but arm mounting so there won't be anything getting in the way. I had only wanted to remove it for aesthetic purposes. Mine is the 27 inch curved model.

[@sebastianroa3918]

Thank you so much for this. I've got a Samsung C27F390FHU monitor, and I wasn't able to remove its stand. Now the job is done. Greetings from Spain.

[@OriginalYank]

I was *this* close to pulling out the hack saw. Subbed to a new cool dude in stead. A win for all involved, especially the monitor!

[@matthenderson4019]

People like you and videos like yours are the redemption of KZbin and the internet in general. You're awesome! Thanks!

[@arlenerandolph5379]

Hubby agrees w/ u 100%. Lol, he was fussing about why Samsung did this when they know u wanna mount ur monitor. Thanx so much 4 making this video!!

[@stevenwarrington5189]

Literally saved me! I was going to the store to buy a custom stand, then I saw this! Literally saved me the time and money!! Thank you good sir!! 🙌

[@Caeleinn]

THANK YOU! I recently splurged on a Samsung curved monitor and decided to put it on a wall mount. I finally managed to get the stand off but that large bump is preventing me from pushing the monitor as far back as I'd like. I feel confident enough now to remove that bump and finally have my monitor as flush as possible to the wall.

[@brianjohnsted]

Omg...thank, thank you, Did I forget to say THANK YOu! So many videos on removing tje stand? Only yours really focuses on actually removing the stupid bracket. THANKS AGAIN.

[@MarX485]

Just found this one and used it for both of my 24” Samsung screens. Worked like a charm. Reading through people’s comments on damaging their screens, a tip: no need to remove the backplate completely, just undo it enough to lift it up a little bit and slide in a screwdriver underneath to undo the two bolts.

[@RosiePosiePony]

Even 2 years later this video helped my husband and I out! Thank you! 😁👌💖

[@lyn3667]

I appreciate the assist. I have two monitors with this kind of backing and finally decided to make the change to a mounted setup. :)

[@ankurbhattacharya466]

Thanks a ton for this video. Really saved the monitor from getting damaged by the excessive force that I was about to use. Must be the mind of a genius behind its design.

[@Scyblee]

Thank you so much. Clear concise and so easy to follow. I had it finished in the same time you explained it. Nice work.

[@markhoneyslug]

Thank you for posting this, I was about to give up on this for the second time and resign myself to the stand getting in the way of my being able to angle it down on a new two screen monitor stand. Now I don't have to! Thank you!

[@Replicant9900]

I'll be helping my dad with this problem, so thanks! Glad I bought HP and Acer monitors, very easy to remove the stands from them.

[@tryfree1]

I was about to get the grinder out to cut of. Saved me as I didn't want to disassemble. I have removed it following step by step. Thanks a million. We'll explained. Fingers crossed there are no lines on the screen. Thanks again...

[@Fjjsu]

Lo subis en 2020 papá, 3 años estuve con ese pie del monitor colgado en un soporte hasta que ahora veo tu video. Sos groso, idolo, crack, titan de titanes.

[@melaniem9578]

This is the tutorial I’ve been looking for. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to get this done!

[@yuli4077]

First time I've ever added a comment to any youtube video but you deserve it!! Great video and saved me alot of work. Thanks!!

[@echopheonix]

I just bought a pair of these to mount on arms, and I was furious by this terrible design choice. Thank you so much for the assist!

[@exequielborghi]

Thanks. I can believe that someone did a tutorial of this. I bought an arm and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the base. Love you, ma´m.

[@USMCSANGER]

I was going nuts, I knew I wasn't the only person dealing with this issue. Thank you for this

[@LeviLife]

Bro This video saved me at least 3 days, 10 headaches and actually the monitor itself because I would have been breaking it up to pieces from anger and frustration 😍

[@wkdlillaw]

Thank you so much! Can't believe this was the only way to remove the stand! I somehow managed to do it with little damage from the screw driver. Thank you for making me laugh at the end, I've been swearing and shouting for the past 15 mins 😂

[@13aaryan]

Good video, for anyone else doing this just use a plastic prying tool or guitar pick. It won't damage the plastic and will keep the resale value of the monitor a tad bit up.

[@moritzbiendara6130]

Thanks for solving that riddle for me! I was really stuck because nobody ever could intend you to open that back just to remove the stand, or could they? Now I can proceed :-)

[@DesmondNgBC]

Thanks for this, totally agree with you on design. Wouldn't have opened my panel if not for your video.

[@foxyfrantic7964]

Just bought a new monitor for my PC intending to mount it & this saved me so much headache! Thank you!

[@stiphy]

Thanks this was exactly what we needed to get this thing on a wall mount. It wasnt bad but only because you showed is exactly what to do!

[@Awesomebird27]

Thank you so much for this, I've had this monitor arm mounted for so long and every time I'd bump my desk that stupid bit would smack against my wall. I was actually so close to just taking a damn buzzsaw to it, but now I thankfully don't have to. Good tutorial worked out great

[@Replicant9900]

Two words, Sawzall :)

[@KaruanaGatimu]

The video that keeps on giving. Internet and YOU for the win. I also love how clear you are that this is a horrible design. I'm following your instructions and chucking that thing across a field. LOL

[@DanishSyakir_]

This tutorial literally saved my life. Thanks man

[@MSloc314]

BRO, PERFECT. Straight to the POINT. Thank you x’s infinity

[@Jasmine-pz4hu]

Thank you! Made it very easy! And I really appreciate you getting straight to the point. I did not have to wait 7 minutes before getting to the information that I needed. :)

[@L3X369]

I found out that I can move the monitor up and down a bit during the time I disassembled this. Than you for posting this video!

[@knittingpixie7471]

What a life saver! 👍I spent ages trying to figure it out. Thank you

[@PremOneEarthOneFamily]

I dont usually comment on youtube videos. But your solution made me stress free.. I am going to return this monitor bought from Costco ..and i had to remove base. Very bad base stand design !

[@damiangray5641]

Thank you, i would never have been able to do that without this video !!!!

[@Curiously8]

Your vid definitely helped this gal out, thanks! Was pissed when I saw this design after buying it...BIG FAIL FOR SAMSUNG...but it led me to this search and your vid :) Cheers

[@marci.abraham]

Thank you. I actually tried to return this monitor just days after buying (I couldn't get a good crisp image when paired with my mac) and I couldn't find a way to ship it back because of the damn arm. The amazon seller said "just pull it out" -- and of course they would not take responsibility for the damages if it broke, which clearly it would have.They would not help me return it nor would they refund my money, so I've been stuck with this stupid thing for a year. Finally decided to go ahead and use it with a new setup I have and it's working nicely, but I really want to get rid of the arm. I should have checked YT when I wanted to return it!! Thank you for this :)

[@petrissebriel4713]

Thank you for the great Demo. Kinda makes you wonder about Samsung tech altogether, for all the hype.

[@Kolbask]

Kudos to you, man, for making this video, you have just saved my day! Or rather night. Thanks heaps!

[@TheSeaton22]

Thanks so much for this video. Very informative and entertaining. I like what you said about throwing the stand as far away as you can. LOL

[@lauvillacampa9834]

This is insane!! What were they thinking? Thanks for the video!

[@richkletting2824]

This video saved me. I could not figure out how in the world to do this. Thank you so much for doing this:)

[@julia50314]

Thank you! Would’ve never figured it out without your video

[@brikinator578]

i was gonna return the monitor but i searched this up and you just saved my monitor :)

[@Glenport]

Thank you. This saved me a huge amount of time and stress.

[@bekacynthia]

I learned through another video but your explanation was top notch!

[@brodes4651]

I think you dropped this 👑

[@EBColeman478]

Your a lifesaver for this video. I have repaired plenty of Samsung curved tvs but the monitors are way more of a headache. Worst design ever.

[@marko5518]

Thank you man so much i spent half hour thinking how to remove it. I was about to take a hammer and remove it. But i came on youtube typed and found you. You just saved me 😁

[@zSADBOYlive]

Thanks for making this video. This was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done with all the computer stuff I have done through the years. But thank you again. I definitely would have figured this out

[@dougmasters4466]

Used this video a Second Time! Works like a charm! Thanks

[@JethreL8710]

Thanks man! You’re a life saver….and yes - totally agree what a silly design jn order to remove the stand, ya gotta open up the monitor 🤦🏽‍♂️ Thanks again !

[@bruninhamrso]

The amount of work, damn. Thank you so much for your help my dear stranger

[@aquinomarcoalessandros.7-g36]

Can't help but laugh every time you point out how stupid this design is. Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@Haffelpaff]

I didn't want to trust my impression that I really have to take off the Back to remove that clumpy thing not letting me mount the monitor properly to the wall, thanks to your video I have it a try on my different model (C350), and when I finally found the last screw besides the component video Port it went off like a charm and there was the same exact plate holding the rest of the foot. I prepared to explode when I plugged it back in after reassembling, but instead of dying I have the screen now at the wall just as I wanted. Thanks bro!

[@redefv]

You just improved my Saturday ten fold and maybe even saved me from the brink of suicide. Thank you.

[@fuba44]

Just wish i had found this video BEFORE i bought a full set of new samsung monitors for wall mounting.. but thank you for the instructions.

[@gusanillo81]

Ididn't think I could find a solution for this and here It is. Thank you very much!

[@jaimered]

This was really helpful - thanks for posting

[@Fety0072]

Great work - method worked perfect even though no flat holes to prise at the bottom - thanks heaps and I agree, not a very well thought about setup! Cheers.

[@justinkovar3922]

Thanks so much for making this. What specialized tools would you recommend for taking this apart with less chance of damage?

[@YannLaBanane418]

Thank you very much 😋 This is the first time that I passed a tutorial 😁

[@JustPraiseHim]

THANK YOU - I have been fighting this for days!!

[@themostlymikeshow2582]

Unreal...I assumed that I would have to take off that back plane, but was thinking "you got to be kidding me!"...all kidding aside, this confirms it! Thanks!

[@GavinDay]

This saved me a whole heap of pain. Thanks for uploading the video.

[@cu8350]

Thanks for doing this! Silly design, but your video really helped me!! Thanks again!

[@MrTotosilva]

i can not believe this design, thanks to you i can travel with the monitor

[@xenghuong]

Helped nephew with taking this stupid hinge off his curved monitor and now it has a large black line on the screen. Really nice design Samsung.

[@JoeDiLillo]

Amazing! And thank you! You saved me lots of headaches!

[@phoenixfire9313]

Excellent and informative tutorial. Thumbs up!

[@vivianrogers6623]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Yes this is the worst design ever but you explained it perfectly.

[@smccann88]

Great Video. I sort of knew when I was trying to take the arm off that something wasn't right but, only when I saw your video did I know for certain. Shoddy design on the part of Samsung.

[@vincentengberg3227]

Tyyy so much for the help. i recently gonna get a new moniter and i want my samsung (current one im using) to be on the side so thanks. bless you

[@bobjones6602]

Your the best, thanks. Turned out great once I got the old stand off!

[@pablotobalina]

Thank you good sir, I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to easily remove it, it looks like they made an extra effort just to make it the hardest possible.

[@Archifx]

Yep. Looks like the newer models can just snap off from what the older comments are saying but these older ones are a bear.

[@nickteehan]

Thank you so much for this video. Unbelievable how Samsung designed this

[@khalilbarred17]

Thanks to you i managed to remove it peacefully .. thank you a lot brother

[@davidnicholson2599]

THANK YOU!! Absolutely bizarre design - tremendously grateful you took the time to post this vid. Stress levels reduced to normal 😆👍🏼👍🏼

[@therealmydoghasnonose]

Lifesaver! I was close to breaking it ☺️Thank you.

[@AldMD-cm2mz]

Dude thanks! This is exactly what i was looking for

[@MichaelBMcGinty]

THANK YOU!! I WAS READY TO BREAK PLASTIC!! YOU ARE A GOD SENT!! MISSION COMPLETE!

[@MarcelloOG]

I hate this monitor! THANKS A LOT FOR THE VIDEO! Insanely helpful!!!! You just saved my day!!!!

[@lennoxproductions2375]

Hey thanks this stupid design had me stumped. Love your straight to the point video. I'm not brave enough to try this without some instructions.

[@naveenreddydepa8324]

Thanks Dude. I thought of throwing my monitor into trash 🗑️. U saved me

[@niklaswall8763]

Thanks for this! Thought I was really stupid not getting this thing removed. 👍

[@Nitrolego]

thank you for this video it has helped me install my monitor arms

[@livemotogaming9175]

This video is still helping people even in 2024
