HP Monitor too high
Hi!
I just bought an HP computer monitor (2011x). Assembled, it's about an inch too tall for the shelf I'd like to keep it on. When I remove the base, it's the perfect height. However, a) it's got a metal piece sticking out of the back, and b) it's not steady at all.
Is there a thing I can either buy or make to protect the metal piece, and keep the screen from falling, so that I can use it in the ideal place?
Thanks for you help!

Probably making a new stand would be the best idea. I just wish I knew how to build things!
Do you know of a website with tutorials for beginners?

I found something interesting in the manual
http://webshop.koneo.se/pdf/511D20FB-FF59-4B3B-AD58-B1FE0BCCD735.pdf
see page 16.
Do you think that adds any options?

Or maybe I could attach a different VESA mount, by following those steps. I wonder if it's possible - I couldn't find the wall mount kit that they mentioned in the manual on their website.
return to the seller, and ask for the kit
ASKER
Got it on HP's website, though!
Here's the HP kit http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06c/A1-329290-64264-329237-329237-1838057-3223659.html
You'd then need a VESA bracket to attach to it. You'll have to search for something that would suit your shelf/application For example here is Amazon's stuff http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keywords=Vesa%20Mount&page=1&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3AVesa%20Mount

And http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/2833785/mfg_partno/EM870AA
This part might fit but you'd have to ask HP. The previous link to HP showed that that part there was supported.

Interesting. I'm going to speak to HP and see what my options are.

Any photo, you can post here of your monitor?

You can see the monitor here:

It looks like it may be expensive to modify this monitor. As it's new, I'm going to find out if I can return/exchange it.
Thanks for all your help and advice so far!

Thanks for your suggestion.
However, the shelf is not moveable, as it is actually the lowest shelf on a wooden hutch that is mounted to two walls (it's in the corner), sitting partially on a ledge on the back wall.
That was actually one of the first ideas I came up with, and promptly dismissed for logistic reasons.

I found another HP monitor that will fit into my space, so I'm going to exchange it probably. It's $30 dollars more, but still seems like the cheapest solution for me.
In case anyone is interested, this is the monitor: http://shopping1.hp.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/WW-USSMBPublicStore-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductUUID=F9AQ7EN5fW8AAAEtWyFVIOHc&CatalogCategoryID=sDwQ7EN5eLcAAAEuvZY.zwd0
Again, thanks for your input!!

That is a nice slider stand:

Are there any other options?
Note: I can lean the monitor against the wall (without the base) and it seems to stand, but then it slips. So I'm hoping it won't be too complicated.
Thanks!
