SX2210T - Vesa Mounting Possible?

I removed a small plastic circle from the back of the monitors' back shell. I see 4 Phillips head screws in a square pattern. This pattern is smaller than 75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm Vesa mounting pattern.

Does Dell offer an adapter?

Is it possible at all the mount this monitor on an arm?

    We do not offer a mount. I do not know if one can be found for that size.

    I talked to Dell Support before I purchased my monitor and they told me that it is possible to mount the monitor.  I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, because I'm working on Dual Monitors, which Dell says will work and one other person says will work, but they want you to pay $90 to tell you :emotion-12:.  I will post again when I figure it out.  Let me know if you figure it out.

    Yes, it's possible to mount this monitor on an arm. I just did it.

    The idea is to make a VESA connector by yourself. I can send you the detail if you are still interested.

    Sure.

    When you remove the round cover at back of SX2210T, you may find 4 screws. These 4 screws are used to fix the stand.

    Remove all 4 screws, then you can take off the desktop-stand. It's not so easy since there is glue in-between the stand and the monitor. Easy way is to turn the monitor upside down then pull the stand out.

    Now you have 4 screw holes, which is not VESA standard.

    I found there is a very cheap wall mount that can be used. Details can be found at

    http://detail.zol.com.cn/hanging_holder/index177565.shtml

    I don't know whether it's available in your country but it's easy to find in China, costs around $5.

    This wall mount has 2 parts, Part1 is to be fixed on the wall  and  part2 (which you can see clearly in the picture) is to be fixed at back of the monitor. I use part 2 in reverse way.

    Drill 4 holes near the center of the steel plate, (you can use the hole position on the original desktop-stand as a reference), find some screws with suitable length (maybe 3.5cm), then mount it to the back of SX2210T. Now I get a VESA connector (which is originally used to connect to the monitor). Then everything goes easy.

    I can not post picture here, but there is someone posting another picture at

    I can not find the original author of that post, but finally I figured out how to do it based on that picture.

    You may drop me an email at . I can share some detailed photos of mine.

    I went ahead and designed my own mounting bracket. You can have one made to order via Ponoko http://www.ponoko.com/design-your-own/products/universal-monitor-mounting-bracket-6717
