Question Recommendation for High-Quality Wall Mount for Alienware 34-inch and 15 lbs Monitor

[danil16]

Hi!

I'm looking for a wall mount for a 34-inch Alienware monitor that weighs about 15
pounds. It should offer a full range of motion in all directions and altitude. I prefer a
mount that keeps the monitor close to the wall.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Not recommending any specific wall mount products or manufacturers.

Other recommendations:

There are likely a number of possibilities and you should go online and look for product reviews.

What is the budget? A wall mount is not something to go low end on and I did note "high quality".

Many products claim to be "high quality" but the criteria is often vague. The quality is only as good as the lowest quality component. Cheap bolts, wall anchors etc. abound.

I do recommend that you look for and read the full wall mount installation guide/manual for any wall mount being considered.

Read carefully and skeptically. Pay attention to all fine print, warnings, diagrams, etc.. They can be misleading and completely wrong sometimes.

Check end user FAQs and Forums if any. Look for what is said and what is not said.

The key point is that the wall mount must be fully secured to the framing behind the host wall. Either directly or perhaps via a suitably sized plywood sheet.

The wall mount may support the weight of the monitor per se but if the monitor is moved then the extra stresses can cause things to end badly.

That may not immediately happen so what seems good is, in the longer term, not good.

And take a close look at the wall/wall location. What is behind the wall? Where are the studs? Any pipes, wires, duct work, outlets, etc.? Be aware that windows and/or other light sources may create screen glare that in turn forces the monitor to be moved away and no longer close to the wall.

Have helpers on hand when doing the install. Helpers capable of holding things in place while wall mount and monitor are being secured into place.

Much more involved than just a "high qualtity" question.

I've had very good experience with Cheetah mounts.
2 of them in my house, 3x installed elsewhere.

This one should work for your monitor.
