Ideas on how to raise monitor height?

BringTheRain · 20 Aug 2011 at 16:58

Got my new desk set up and the monitor is too low, not at eye level :mad:

Any idea's on how to raise the height, or is there anything you can buy.

1. Monitor height is not adjustable
2. Don't want to use some old books or something.

Thanks

Damo

Does it have VESA mounts? Just replace the stand...

You're stuck with propping it up somehow then

I have no monitor mounts, so how would I mount it?

Says it does have VESA mounts. In which case, buy a desk bracket. I have 2 for both of mine, means I can stick label printers and allsorts underneath my monitors.

there should be 4 holes on the back of the monitor in a square configuration.

mount the bracket onto the screen then the other part of the bracket onto the wall and connect the 2 together

The manual does indeed show it has VESA mounts, you can buy a desk stand that will connect to these and then clamp to the desk (some are freestanding).

No cover to remove first? Black plugs in the rear? Gotta be summit if its in the manual.
