[@Matthew-oo1ko]

[@douglawson373]

Nice idea, but it depends on finding U-bolts with either a 75mm or 100mm spacing between the holes.

[@aaronwishes43]

Great job taking the time to do this! I can confirm this works with Acer R240HY.

[@emilyterry9148]

It doesn’t. They don’t have the L bracket on the back

[@FreshAirRules]

What people need is to know how to hold the monitor from all 4 corners! BTW, your dad's expressions are priceless! And your enthusiasm is great. No wonder you have so many subs. Its so unusual to have parents involved yet this adds an aspect of authenticity rarely seen on KZbin because almost nobody younger ever involves their parents. Nice to see. Also its relevant to a wider age group further increasing your view. Very wise!

[@KentuckyAirBros]

I actually have these exact monitors and ive been trying to think of a way to mount these to a vesa arm, and i just found that solution. Holy crap thank you

perfect! thanks for showing me this video. This is the exact model I was looking at so I'm glad this also shows me how to get it mount ready! thanks again bro just subscribed you've been very helpful.

[@BigJon77]

thank you this is exactly the solution i was looking for. amazing content right down to the exact shopping list of items i needed to make it work giant time saver and cost savings of having to buy a second vesa monitor.

[@pyroslev]

I did use this solution. The insulation wasn't required for my install but still, not a bad idea. One issue that I wanted to not if you are doing a dorm room style desk under loft bed install. My main monitor is an AOC 22" similar to the one in the video with a smaller/older Acer 19" as my secondary. They don't sit at the same level. The two options were have the AOC higher and the Acer lower, scraping the desk almost OR flip AOC, flip the portrait and have them nearly level with the Acer a bit higher. I did the second option as the Acer is my TV of sorts. Not Ideal but a heck of a lot cheaper than the $30 for the adapter bracket. I am still getting that or a better VESA arm kit when budget permits for now, this $12.32 solution is GREATTTTTT.

[@jackfarnsworth484]

Ironically convenient video, considering the fact that I plan to buy the 23" version of the same monitor. A sidenote: It's a clever mod for anyone with the same monitor brand in case one wants to keep it in new condition (or the need to ever revert back to the included stand).

[@rOmEoMUstDi3]

I didnt understand the video the first time I watched it, but now I see how everything was installed. Thank you for the idea man.

Nice video, totally needed this idea! thanks! Looks like everyone else covered the music/fast sweep correction. Take the feedback as learning, its good advice! Great job! Keep making vids bro!

Alright I ran into this issue in 2024 and have this very specific monitor so this is hilarious

[@philippebackprotips]

How nice, I got 2 of those, and was wondering how to get them VESA mounted nicely without doing any holes or whatever on them. Perfect!

[@Shirodx]

I have two of those monitors and did this hack today so I can say that it works. I noticed halfway through you flipped the bolts, (See 2:31, then 2:32). Just wished you would have said something about that. It would have saved me some time... Otherwise a good video.

[@AllButJustForgotten]

blue flamingo. I was actually working on a 3 monitor setup and JUST realized that my AOC models (IPS same as the video model) had no vesa mounting hardware. So this video was exactly what I was looking for. Did your 3 monitor mount allow you to adjust height? do all 3 sit around the same height? or is it different due to the modification.

[@cramgnuel8618]

nice work, had an aoc myself wanting to mount vertically, this is great and i'm going to add 1 layer of non slip fabrics front and back of the monitor 'leg'. thx for this idea

[@martinezrx71]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS IDEA . I ACTUALLY DID IT . I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE SAME MONITOR . AND EBAY WAS CHARGING 15 BUCKS PER ADAPTERS . I WAS GOING TO BUY IT UNTIL I SAW THIS . AGAIN THANKS . WISH I CAN SHOW A PICTURE OF IT

I'm getting the AOC i2367Fh 23" Monitor and this will really help. It's the smaller version of yours, isn't it? Thanks a lot for this video, you're the man!

[@Flipgrav1]

so i might be wrong but im pretty sure that brand of monitor (and this DYi will only work for this brand) actually makes a adaptor for vesa and if something goes wrong atleast u can blaime them.

[@Flipgrav1]

+Flip Grav and sorry if it sounded like i was taking away from the project it is still a great ideal

[@luiggimondoli]

Vesa adaptesr are out there but crazy expensive, $25 is a steal . I paid $23 for the dual stand on eBay, real good quality, I was surprised. So that's why I am here looking for ideas. Thanks

[@guerillatactix3834]

I'm actually going to try this tomorrow, but with 27 in Samsung UHD monitors in Portrait mode.

[@ClydeGonzales]

Thank you for this magical mod! I have 3 AOC monitors and didn't feel like spending $30 on EACH VESA adapters! Also, thank you for the LOUD MUSIC warning lol.

[@nasigoring1525]

[@RaitonGG]

can you do this with a 27" vx279 the arm is not like that one

[@dannguyen-je8no]

I tried this and I think there are problems you don't mention in your video. One, you need a very high quality monitor mount ($75-100) to support the monitor weight, plus the additional weight caused by latching the monitor mount onto the monitor neck, instead of the monitor directly. My mount can handle the AOC monitor weight, but can't keep itself upright because it's not directly attached to the monitor. So now I have to tilt the monitor up at an abnormal angle to keep the weight distribution even. It's my fault for being cheap and finding a DIY solution, but it'd be nice if you could point out the cons with your solution next time. Also the screws you listed should be a tiny bit longer. I had a pain trying to get the washers on with the short screws. Luckily I had some spare of the same width but longer length.

[@jonathanballona3886]

swashin what mount were you using for those monitors? and what did the mount connect to?(a pole?) btw great video

[@danbrewer3257]

Another way to do this even cheaper is plastic zip ties. they get very tight and just use them and something soft like the piping in this video then your set. its what me and my dad just did.

[@jorgemelendez4287]

How did you guys put the First item on the back of the monitor though

[@KingPaynisback]

I have an acer R240, you think this would work with this?

[@DanielHarrisCodes]

Anybody know where I can get these U-Bolts at the correct size in the UK? Looks like Marine shops are the only place but can't seem to find the exact size used in the video. I have the same type of bracket on my monitors and "proper" converters would cost about £75 for 3

[@Kori-ko]

If it helps, VESA standards say the holes should be spaced 75mm apart, so any bracket where you can thread both screws 75mm apart will do.

[@colinfn3382]

Will this work for any non vesa compatible monitor?

[@christodoulosst]

I tried it after 9 years. CoG is way too low for any kind of stand to hold the monitor safely. :/ Damn, who the heck makes monitors without such a useful option?

[@Rico11b]

How can this possibly be done for 5 bucks???!!!! You still have to purchase the VESA Arm and VESA mounting brackets, which is way more than 5 bucks each.

[@mario6148]

He's talking about the VESA -adapter-. An -adapter- will usually cost you about $20 PER monitor. Here it costs you $5 per monitor, to make your own VESA -adapter-.

[@KitCatForever777]

What was the pipe insulation for?

[@EBTrix]

Blue Flamingo: Thank you so much Matt! I have 3 of the same monitors and have been looking at desk mounts for them and ran into that trouble with the adapters, they sell them for $25 each on amazon.. But $5 each on a very easy install like that, Ill take it!! :)

do you think the standard vesa adapter will let me rotate it? I'm just wondering because I don't want them to slip out and don't know if it's snug enough.
