Mounting Guide

Wall or Other Mounting with VESA Standard

CAUTION: The wall mount must bear a minimum of five times the monitor's net weight. To mount your MONITOR to the wall or another surface, you need to purchase a VESA wall mount. Use four M4 x 8mm screws (not included) to attach the mount. The monitor mount VESA hole pattern is 100mm x 100mm. Note: Metric (M4 x 8 mm) is the type screw that should be used (do not use longer screws or the monitor may be damaged).

1. Before mounting the monitor, remove the base riser (vertical portion of the base) by removing the two screws at the top with a screwdriver. Then the base and the riser can be removed. In order to prevent losing the two screws, we suggest replacing the screws in their original holes.

2. Attach the VESA mount (100mm x 100mm) plate to the rear of the monitor and follow all of the instructions provided with the mount to complete the mounting process.
