Mounting 24" DGM Monitor

I've bought a Desk Arm Mount for mounting my 24" DGM Monitor but i've stumbled upon a slight problem.

The holes at the back of the monitor are not threaded and the screws that came with the mount do not fit the holes (Slip right through them)

Now i was planning on going to any DIY shop i could find and just buy some self threading screws and have away with it, but my problem is Lans... i go to a lot of Lan around the UK and will be taking this beast with me and so i may need to be able to take it off and with it being using self threaded screws im not sure how well that will work :S

The mount did come with a adapter plate for 75mm to 100mm VESA mount holes and i was thinking of opening up the monitor and "no more nailing" this mount adapter to the back of the monitor on the inside so that i would have somewhere to screw the mount in and out of...

Argh... really dont know what to do, was looking forward to using this on a mount but looks like it might not happen now.

Well just got back from B&Q and only screws i could find seem to be slightly too fat for the holes on my mount

But i have picked up some Araldite which i'm hoping will allow me to glue the 75-to-100mm mount plate on to the back of the monitor and then connect it to the mount that way.
Fingers crossed!

you might want to think about your warranty before you glue anything to the monitor. I've had 2 of the fail in the last 4 months, I'm not sure you'll get a replacement if yours goes and there are signs of "modification".

Well guess I will have to just hope for the best with it as there is no other way im going to get this mount on it :/

I know they're popular but isn't this a bit extreme

Glued it on... and bingo! no higher than default and too heavy to sit up right....

JOKES! £50 on a recommended stand for this monitor (well the Yakura) ebay it will go!

Least i now have a better mounting plate on the back of the monitor IF i choose to try again!
