Question Help with a wall mount bracket

[obi1kenobi]

Hi all

Can someone please help me find a vesa mount or an extended stand/arm for my dell se2717h monitor as it has no bracket option. I don’t want to spend a lot of money just something simple to do the job.

Since your monitor isn't VESA mountable, your only option on mounting it on the wall would be using TV wall shelf, e.g this one,

This one is cheaper but holds less weight (8kg vs 9.9/13.6kg to the one above),

Hi there thank you for your reply

My monitor comes standard with that mount. I managed to find a wallmoimt which supports my monitor

With that bracket, you can use any VESA monitor wall arm you like, e.g this one,

Thank you. I purchased the one you recommended. The vesa adapter is extremely unstable do you no have there is a way to stabilise it any diy tricks?

Since the monitor sits freely in the VESA adapter (part of the adapter slides into monitor's table stand location), it can be wobbly. Especially since there is no screw holes to fasten the monitor to the VESA adapter. Only gravity holds the monitor in place.

On top of my head, making that portion of VESA adapter that slides into monitor thicker may help. With less leeway at that connection point, monitor should be more secure. To do that, mask that VESA adapter portion with e.g paper. You may need to try with masking several times to find balance in thickness. Too thick and you can't push the VESA adapter to the monitor slot. Too thin and monitor is too wobbly. Also, you may need some muscle power to force the thickened VESA adapter into the monitor slot for least amount of wobble.

Your a genius that makes a lot of sense. I agree that’s exactly gravity is the only thing that holds it I wrapped electrical tape around it and it’s perfect no wobble at all it’s stable. Thank you very very much.

You're welcome.

When monitor hangs still, it doesn't wobble but it does wobble when trying to reposition it. At least it did before the hotfix.
