How to wall mount a monitor without screw holes

[The 24th Doctor]

I have a Samsung S22C300H. I've used it on a desk normally but now I would like to change the whole place and wall mount it. The problem is that there are no screw holes on the back. I did notice however that the base screws on with a screw at the bottom. I was thinking if there was a way to attach some sort of L bracket, one side would have vesa compliant holes and the other side would be where I screw it in instead of the base.

Is there some way I can do this or should I custom-make it?? Also would it harm my monitor? I want to have a height adjustable mount, but of course I'm still in the planning stage, so I might not even do this, especially if I find that it's not feasible for me.

Thanks

According to the user manual http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201401/20140107174913859/BN46-00311A-Eng.pdf there is a flat spot on the back with 4 holes for a standard VESA mount. (P 35)

According to this, there is no wall-mount otion.

The PDF above(in Kanewolf's post) on page 35 is only for a couple of models, and your model isn't listed.

Thank you all, I was aware of that, especially since the back of my monitor is smooth. Thanks ss202sl for replying to kanewolf for me. However I still would like an answer please

It wasn't made with the intention of being mounted. There probably isn't an off-the-shelf mount that will work. You may have to customize a bracket or something to mount it on the wall.

OK, so if I "mount" the monitor from the bottom, instead of the base (a bracket would be hung with a normal vesa mount, and the monitor would be hung to the bracket from it's base), would that harm it?? Or is it just as secure???

Possibly a modified wall mount laptop arm would work.

 

[ss202sl]

That(laptop mount) would probably work OK. You could probably get away with using some black tie straps to hold it to the base(to keep it from falling).

The ones I have seen mounted on the base, have the base on them and straps were used to tie the base to whatever it was on. I've seen several portable video conference units setup that way, and it's stable enough to be pushed around. Should be stable enough to sit still on the wall.

Thanks guys. I was thinking, instead of using cable ties what if I screw the "shelf" into the monitor instead of the base. My monitor has a screw hole for the base.

That should work. Up through the platform, into that bolt hole. Some nice wide washers to spread the load.

You need to get the Samsung mounting bracket for it ... like this one:

I am not 100% sure this will work for your model as it is not listed there, but I have a P2770 and it works great 😉

There is an adapter bracket available to mount the Samsung S22C300H - http://www.amazon.com/Mount-Adapter-Bracket-Samsung-Monitors/dp/B00Z8WYK42/
