Wall Mounting A Computer Monitor

Wall mounting your computer monitor is a great way to free up desk space and improve your ergonomics. It's also a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. Here are the materials and instructions you'll need to get started.

Materials

Computer monitor
Monitor mount
Screwdriver
Drill (if necessary)
Level
Stud finder

Instructions

1. Choose a location for your monitor. The best location for your monitor is one that is directly in front of you and at eye level. You should also make sure that there is enough clearance around the monitor so that you can easily adjust it.

2. Find the studs in the wall. It's important to mount the monitor mount into a stud, as this will provide the best support. To find the studs, use a stud finder to locate the studs in the wall. Once you have found the studs, mark their locations with a pencil.

3. Install the monitor mount. The type of monitor mount you have will determine how it is installed. However, most mounts will require you to drill holes into the wall. Once you have drilled the holes, insert the screws that came with the mount and tighten them until the mount is securely in place.

4. Attach the monitor to the mount. Once the mount is installed, you can attach the monitor to the mount. To do this, simply align the monitor with the mount and slide it into place. Once the monitor is in place, tighten the screws that came with the mount to secure it.

5. Adjust the monitor. Once the monitor is mounted, you can adjust it to the desired height and angle. To do this, simply loosen the screws on the mount and move the monitor to the desired position. Once you have the monitor in the desired position, tighten the screws to secure it.
