How To Remove Samsung Stand

How to remove a Samsung S24F350F 24″ LED monitor stand hinge to make it VESA mountable

I recently wrote a mail almost setting up a home office infinite and how a Brateck monitor arm fabricated a huge difference in ergonomics and productivity. The reason behind buying the arm was to mount a Samsung S24F350F 24″ LED monitor and be able to position it perfectly when seated at the desk.

The monitor has 75×75 VESA holes which are located at the bottom of the screen right above the swivel attachment for the stand.

The VESA plate on the Brateck monitor arm comes in a 75×75 and 100×100 configuration. Owing to the 100×100 configuration, the hinge attachment got in the way of the plate sitting affluent with the dorsum panel of the monitor. If however, the arm just came with a 75×75 plate, this may not take been an event.

At this point, I was stuck with a problem of how to remove the hinge attachment.

After getting over the annoyance and disappointment of not being able to ready things up as speedily and easily as hoped, came the task of finding a solution.

Google and YouTube searches returned some interesting results. In one instance, a user cutting the hinge off with a power tool. In another, a user left the swivel in identify and opted to power file the bottom of the plate until it fitted in place.

With the tools I had at mitt, the best selection for me was to detach the monitor to remove the hinge. To do that, I took the post-obit steps:

Disconnect all cables and place the monitor (screen side downwardly) on a blanket on the floor
Update: equally per Matt's comment below, remove the screw nigh the HDMI outlet on the dorsum of the screen. Unfortunately, Unrealize (comment below) 'busted' his screen before realising the screw was there (totally my mistake for non updating the post shortly enough)

Using a spudger tool to remove back panel

Removing the hinge was an easy plenty affair to exercise with screwdrivers as mentioned above. Simply, when prying the dorsum panel off, there was a point where I did hear a modest peachy sound. I thought I had damaged the unit merely decided the carry on nonetheless. The sound got me slightly panicked as I thought I had damaged the unit of measurement but later a quick inspection, I could non encounter any visible damage.
