LG 43" IPS Monitor... Need a Vesa mount stand or bracket for lowering?

[MBW]

I bought a LG 43UD79-B 43" IPS monitor to replace my aging Dell 30" 3007wfp.  I love that I can run 4k unscaled and it looks fantastic.  Even with the backlight down at 37%, its flicker free (it is pwm).  It feels like having an ultrawide, but with another 5" of display stacked on top.  I admit I probably wont use the top pixels as much, but for watching video and productivity, this thing is amazing.

 

I have it on a 48" wide varidesk (standing desk that sits on your desk).   I think if this monitor was flat on my desk, the height would be pretty good, but since the varidesk raises it up a few inches, I need to lower the display.  The stand it came with is solid, but has no height adjustment.  So I am looking for a way to just lower it 2"

 

Does anyone know of a 200mm x 200mm vesa bracket that either.

 

1. adapts vesa to vesa and just shifts or offsets the mount location down (I may build this from hardware to try if I can't find one)

or

2. A reasonably priced, simple, desk standing height adjustable vesa mount that works with these larger displays?  

 

I don't need a fully adjustable arm or anything that requires drilling the desk.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

 

27" 1440 display on the left,  the 43" on the right (its powered by a newer touchbar macbook pro via usb-c to displayport, 4k@60fps)

It's basically a TV, so you're going to have to look at TV wall mounts. It's too heavy for pretty much any VESA monitor arm I've seen.

 

You could try this with an adapter:

Yes, you are correct. It's a TV.. ha. Even the mount you listed wont exactly work because this uses the larger 200m vesa mount.

 

It's too bad that they didn't just include height adjust on this.  I may try and fabricate something that is vesa-to-vesa and just shifts it down 2".   If anyone has ideas for how to do that, im open to ideas also.

 

I really do think this setup will be perfect with just a tweak.  When I use it in standing mode, its perfect, my elbows are bent the correct amount and my face is centered in the screen.  The PPI is perfect and I can spread everything out.  I can sit ~32" away from it and not see any pixels at all, while reading this exact forum font size without any trouble.  

 

(I should note that UHD @ 60hz and the other aspects of this panel are ideal for me, but I don't play games on this setup.  This is for work in the software industry)

 

Thanks for the ideas guys.

It will with a 100x100 to 200x200 adapter. They're about $20.

Well I couldn't figure out a safe way to make my own relocation brackets, so I ordered the amazon basics arm.  Saw someone else using that arm on this monitor with success.  I wont want it raised up off the desk surface anyway, so im not worries much about the weight.

 

I ordered one of those vesa 100 to 200 brackets.  Hopefully that works.   I might have to drill a hole in my desk though which I am not pleased about...

Hi, I was wondering whether you tried this and if so did it work?

I've got the same monitor and had the same question.  But, I bought this a month ago and it works fantastic w/ the 200x200 adapter, which was a bit snug.  Didn't drill, just clamped it on (Ikea Galant ~1" thick desk).

Hi, did you go for the exact model you posted as the limit suggests its 34" although the LG monitor is 43"
