How to mount a 2232GW?

LOL I don't think so.
I wonder if there's another mount you can clip in instead of the stand...
So that's how it'd connect to the monitor without the need for vesa holes....
Am I making sense?

I know what you mean -it's just a case of finding something that will do the job... I can't understand why they would release the monitor with such a poor stand and not at least allow for the chance to mount it with the regular VESA holes

exactly. a different stand would be just fine

That is at least height adjustable. The stand on the 226BW also sucks but at least that has VESA holes...

My 226BW is on a wooden thing I made in woodwork class in like grade 8 and the 2232 is on my K810's box

Looks good. Wonder when it will be in stores here...Maybe the price of the 2232GW will come down then as well...Maybe...

The one in the picture here http://www.pricecheck.co.za/products/2781804/Samsung+2243BWX+22"+Wide+TFT+LCD+Monitor/ looks exactly like the 226BW. Is this the case?

Has anyone found a solution to this??

Nope, not me anyway. This monitor is quite old now anyway. All the newer models seem to have VESA holes

Yeah, we seem to have been the unlucky ones

Yeah, though I eventually opted to go for a 19" monitor. I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one now... Problem with the monitors now is they don't stick around more than 6 months, I don't think I'll be able to find another of my existing model, not new anyway.
Ahh the joys of technology

Indeed, that is exactly the problem I had. By the time I'd saved up enough for a 2nd monitor, you could no longer get the 226BW new, so I had to go for the 2232GW, instead.

Here's some 2nd hand monitor arms... Not sure if it'll work for what you need: http://forums.prophecy.co.za/f7/computer-stand-monitor-arms-68891/

For 50 bucks, it's almost worth it. Shipping would suck, though, and I'd have to spray it black...

Maybe I can find something like this in a shop somewhere...Should not be too expensive...
