Can L-clamp mount (lowest 2 holes) 'outside' of the monitor arm so that the two screws can be accessed from the front (desk too close to wall)?

My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk. As for the L Clamp, I'm using the bottom two holes, and i had to crawl under my desk and screw in both bolts to clamp down on the desk. There is no way to modify or change the physical mounting point to the desk and how it functions that I am aware of. My desk has a back board, but it is recessed to create a lip that I was able to clamp onto. I wish I could take pictures to explain but, the top surface of the desk is only about 2 inches from the wall, the back board is maybe about 4 inches give or take from the wall. Hope that helps somewhat! My desk is pretty close to the wall, I had to slide the mount into place from the side to get it onto the desk.

I am not sure as both my desks already had holes in them for cords and such, but here is what I found on their website:Mounting Options: Desk Clamp attaches to surface edge .4" to 2.4" (10 to 60 mm) thick; Grommet Mount attaches through surface holes .31" to 2" (8 to 50 mm) wide and up to 3" (76 mm) thick http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/523/language/en-US/Default.aspx

The clamp has a neoprene cushion on the top, but two screw clamps for the bottom. To protect my stainless desk I put a piece of wood between the clamps and the desk. Whether the desk will hold the monitors is an interesting question: Unless it's 3/4 of an inch or thicker I wouldn't try it. As it is, if it were me I'd go buy a small piece of plywood at Home Depot or Lowes and have them cut it for you so it's 6 inches by 6 inches or something like that. This way the weight is distributed over a much larger surface area. Do be aware that the monitor stand is very heavy all on its own. There are also monitor holders with wall clamps instead of a desk clamp. That might be a much safer alternative for you.

I don't remember exactly how long they are, but they're lag screws, probably 3 or 4 inches. The weight of the arm plus the weight of the monitor will require a very substantial screw. Mounting into a 1" thick piece of beech wood wouldn't hold the weight, it really needs to go into a wood stud. Or maybe a machine screw/washer/nut combo could work depending on how heavy the monitor is. Either way, you'd absolutely see the hardware on the back side.

There are 4 hole in the back of monitor. Looks like you can screw in. But 5mm. Not 1cm diameter hole.

I use mine on the computer desk made of tempered glass. That being said I had a piece of plywood cut and placed where the clamp would go and it works great. I know that's not exactly what you asked but it's how I've circumvented that problem. By the way I have a heavy 27 inch touch screen monitor and this device holds it like a champ with no drilling at all.

Pwr+® Quad LCD Monitor Stand Desk Clamp post measures 28.5" from base. (Quad Monitor Stand) Perhaps substitute post from a Vertical Dual Monitor Mount OR other vertical mount which may be available. Just an idea if you don't find another exactly as needed.

I think there is a clamp style bracket available at Best buy that allows you to mount a monitor or Tv that has no mounting holes

Yes, it can be done. I have three, one of which I use with the arms to hold my MacBook Pro and chilling pad. The other two actually do hold monitors which didn't have mounting holes. One monitor is over 9lbs and also has an additional arm extension. The two support fleets used to hold the laptop from sliding off are adjustable and rotate, they can extend outward up 15", which can take hold of your monitor sides or corners. The base of the tray also can swivel to a position and be locked. I did also utilize all the self adhesive grip pads they provide, and even put some on the support cradle arms. You can see more detailed pics from Ergotron's site on the back and such. Hope this helps.

Hi Tommy - its tricky but too difficult. First adjust each of the 4 screws on the monitor then position the two-way knuckle and finally adjust the 4 screws on the mounting bar - tigten o desired angle - be careful not to overtighten. Hope this helped.

There is a c- clamp type for the edge of the desk. Or it has another mount if you want to drill into your desk for a better position. Comes with both. Works great on the edge, that is how I use it.

yes you can easily slide that out, but depending on your monitor remember you have to disconnect the monitor wiring. i mention this because some monitors the wiring is connected inside the monitor which requires disconnecting the wiring from the computer which can be a little time consuming. The mount is a great unit I love it.

I am using this VESA compatible mount: VIVO Single LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Fully Adjustable/Tilt/Articulating for 1 Screen up to 27" (STAND-V001) The holes line up fine with the monitor and the mount arm supports the weight of the monitor without any issues.

I have one of these clamped to the back of mine 3M Dual-Swivel Monitor Arm (MA140MB) It was easy to install and I have had no problems whatsoever.

I was able to mount 3 27" monitors in Landscape (measure your monitor width, include the bezel). With 3 27"s, each monitor measured 25.55" across, after it was assembled I had maybe 2cm of space on either arm before the clamp would hang off the edge. If this sounds like your setup, you may want to buy an additional mount (Flush Mount). Please see my review.
