My Samsung S24C750P monitor lacks a standard VESA mount. This was a significant negative when I was trying to get more desk space because I wanted to use a monitor arm for that screen. A quick search on Amazon and I found this adapter. Keep in mind that I purchased this bracket and have not hand any contact with the manufacturer.
This adapter is specifically designed for two Samsung monitors: the S24C750P and the S27C750P. I have the 24-inch version, so I can't comment on the fit and function of the larger screen.
The mount adapter itself is made of solid metal. It has these little stand-off connector points. It includes two sets of screws. I used the shorter ones on this screen. I assume the longer ones are for the 27-inch model.
Installation Process
Installing the bracket was, for the most part, pretty straightforward. It did have a slight quirk to it, however.
First, you have to take off the original stand.
Then you have to remove the screws securing the original monitor stand which wasn't very easy. I used two different tools. One of them was used to push one of the screws toward the back of the mount so there's pressure applied. The second tool I used was a screwdriver to loosen the difficult screws. It required some force to do, but they did come out.
You'll need those original screws to attach the Gladiator Joe bracket adapter to the monitor. The bracket has two notches on the top. Those notches correspond to how the original stand works in the back of the monitor.
You'll slot the adapter into the monitor, just like you would with the original stand.
Then, it's a matter of using the two original screws from the stand with the adapter to fully secure it.
VESA Compatibility
It's important to note that your VESA connection point needs to have the 75x75mm pattern.
That's the smaller one, so if your monitor arm or mount doesn't have that, it won't work with this adapter.
Final Thoughts
Once the adapter is on, you can attach your monitor arm.
It works pretty well! I used the shorter screws for my 24-inch monitor. I haven't noticed any major issues but I haven't attempted to use the screen vertically.
One thing to keep in mind is that the instructions say it's not designed or checked for vertical use. So, if you're planning on rotating your monitor, proceed with caution. Overall the quality of the product is "good enough", though the design could probably use some work.
I'm pleased with this Gladiator Joe adapter. It solved a problem and allowed me to use my Samsung monitor with a monitor arm instead of having to buy a new screen. It gave me a lot more desk space which significantly improved my setup. It's a bit quirky in its design, but it gets the job done.
