Custom Monitor Stand
[Posted on: 23 July 2021]
I was recently given a 29 inch monitor, which I thought would make a good replacement for my 24 inch monitor. The only problem was that the amount of verical space available was limited as there are overhead wall cupboards above my desk. The monitor on its native stand would not fit.
Fortunately it is quite easy to build a custom stand. Most monitors have four bolt holes in the back for attachment to a wall mounting bracket. These are arranged in a square, spaced by an exact amount – typically 100mm though in this case it was 75mm. They take a standard size bolt, which generally seems to be M4, but you would need to check to make sure.
The photos show how a simple monitor stand was built with six pieces of wood, four bolts and a few screws. This one could have been painted black to match the monitor, but I decided to varnish it to blend in with my desk.
