Hi All,

 

I've just brought a sexy new 27inch Dell u2715h 1440p monitor, but would like to wall mount it rarther than use the stand.

Has anyone ever considered using thick 3M double sided tape (or the foam pads) or anthing similar to hold a monitor to a wall as Im technically not allowed to drill into the wall for a vesa mount.

Industrial strength velcro perhaps?

Maybe Im mad.

 

Cheers,

Matt

Just drill, if you move it later wood putty or spackle is the easiest stuff in the world to hide the holes with,

I wouldn't risk trying to hold it with 3M tape. Would a desk-mounted VESA arm work?
