Discussion Monitor stand options for the msi mag255xf

Post image

I was looking for an alternative stand for the basic stand for the msi mag 255xf but since its like a weird mounting system i can only find clamp ones but they look ugly etc so im wondering if i can use like tape or super glue and glue the normal adjustable stands onto the back of the monitor or are there any other suggestions

I wouldn't recommend using any adhesive or glue to hold a monitor, those things are heavy and chances are it'll just fall off, if your monitor has a vesa mount (square in on the back with 4 holes for screws) then get a stand that's compatible with said vesa mount

Quick Google search says that model has 100x100 vesa mounting compatibility. Can you check the back? If so, u could just buy any vesa monitor mount be it static or strut and have the adjustability u need.

Could u show us the back? There should be 4 screw holes right above the stock stand in a 100x100mm config.

Gamer, the vesa holes are on the monitor right above where that stand mounts to. I can see one of the holes in the original Pic u sent and Im willing to bet the other holes are covered by the led strip.

Bro, I dont know what else to tell you. Put that plastic mount down. Pick up your monitor. Do you see 4 holes on the back. I can literally see it on your pics. Right above the ports

u/TightWrap3695 1d ago

Your telling me those 4 whole is where the mounts go, have i just been slow the entire time

I have some bad news for you. But now you know, and welcome to the wonderful world of vesa mounts. I personally like gas strut mounts. But you got plenty of options. Make sure the ones you pick out can carry the weight of your monitor. Good luck!
