Re: Lets see some TV mounting ideas!
I have a wally world swing-arm over my desk on the (19"??) monitor on my PC. If it were bolted to something sturdy, I wouldn't be afraid to use it, depending on weight, to secure a screen up to about 30" when in motion. I probably would put a pair of footman's loops (even the guys at ACE hardware don't remember these) behind the monitor. I would swing it flat and bungee it to the loops to keep it from moving around. With a little ingenuity, it might be possible to install flat plates between the pivoting sections with holes that would accept stabilizing pins instead.
I think the monitor and arm can lift off the wall post if a set-screw is removed, but I haven't investigated this.
The good news is that there is standard machine screw spacing in the flat screen TV/monitor industry, so there are dozens to hundreds of different mounts to choose from. Mine was just (relatively) inexpensive and easily available.
