Adjustable wall mount for monitor?

shamelessidiot

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, but a search for monitor wall mount had the most results in the section so thought I'd post here.

Here are just a few (sh*tty) drawings to show you what I'm looking for:




The desk is 60cm in depth, and I'd love a mount like this. Does it exist? I can't mount it on the right hand side as the "wall" is wood and don't feel comfortable hanging a mount on it. The second photo is just basic, I'll still have the PC/second monitor on the desk.

I am looking for it as I can connect the monitor to both my PC and Xbox, then when I'm using my PC I can use it as my second screen that I can see in my peripheral vision, then extend it out from the desk when I want to just use it to watch movies/play xbox.

The wall itself is a solid concrete wall, so I have no doubts it should hold up just fine.

Basically, I just want a long monitor mount that can retract and swivel to a 30 degree angle, if it exists.

Thanks in advance, and if I'm in the wrong section with this, could you please tell me where I could post it? Cheers.

Maybe a wall mounted cantilever type LCD bracket? You could mount it at the edge of the desk (opposite side to where you have it mounted on the wall). Rotate it left if using with the PC, to the right if using with the xbox.

I have used these brackets before, and are quite good for 22@ & 26@ monitors, and they can be tilted down at the back of the screen as well. thing is they are quite short (<400mm), so try and get a longer reach one:

This is my setup. Took a few quick snaps to give an idea of how that kinda mount works. Both 22" panels.

Pic 1: Normal usage
Pic 2: Right mount almost fully extended. Monitor can sit flat against the wall if needed(though the panel itself is about 2" from the wall)
Pic 3: The messy cabling, please excuse
Pic 4: "TV layout", when Im sitting across the room and watching content this is how I do it.

Cant find my amazon receipt but I remember them being about 12STG each, a steal.

TBH if Im reading your diagram right you wont find a mount that long, the leverage would be too large for most people, it'd need an expanding bolt put into the wall(mine are rock solid btw). It might be better to get a desk based one that has a pole up from the corner of the desk and then reaches "in" for the PC and "out" for TV, halving the length required.

Thanks for this. Think I'll just gun it and see how mounting it to the wood goes. I can't really tell from the picture, can you have this laying flat against the wall as well as articulating out flat? It looks like it would be possible, but I'm not sure.
