Looking for a way to fold a monitor down like a laptop screen?

[pikachi]

I'm wondering if there's some sort of way to fold an existing monitor down so it is flat on the table to save space and look better? Short of screwing a hinge on to the table, is there anything I can do without damaging the table. I don't have much money to spend on this, so some sort of rackmount console thing is not an option - basically I want a large screen that looks like it's a laptop until you need to use it, if that makes sense?

thanks

there is no point to this...reasons....

-the back of monitors have slots/holes for venting. laying the monitor down increases your chances of spilling something in the monitor by a good factor

-any type of hinge/arm will be visable when the monitor is down. this will look horrible.

-a mounting arm/other device will cost money unless you know how to make your own.

-what exactly are you planning on hooking an arm/hinge device up to if not your desk? i suppose you could make some sort of steel baseplate but again its not worth the effort.

if you want a laptop, get a laptop. if you want to hide your computer, get a desk with doors.
