VIVO Adapter VESA Mount Kit, Bracket Set for Apple 21.5 inch and 27 inch iMac, Late 2009 to 2020 Models, LED Display Computer, Stand-MACB

Works, sturdy, easy set up

GREAT! GET ONE! This a great solution to the ergonomics of a monitor arm that we Mac users are pretty much denied. This device is well-made and nicely priced. It's rock-solid, and fit my 21,5" Mac like a glove after a five-minute, just-me install. Came with every bit of metric hardware needed, and then some!Don't be left out of all the benefits of a monitor arm. This is a quick and easy fix for those of us whose monitor height decisions are limited by Apple's wisdom and whether or not we can still find a phone book lying around. (Kids, ask your parents.)There are lots of great monitor arms out there (my choice: Jarvis arm by Fully.com, $99. Great range of motion, smooth movement, and solid feel).You'll see in the photos that I added a couple of adhesive foam dots to the back of the monitor where, in certain positions that you'd likely never use, the screws from the clamp could contact the back of the Mac. Maybe they could have included some nylon cap nuts?I still rate this Five Stars and 100%, on suitability for purpose, relative ease of installation, and build quality. Side by side with my factory VESA Mac, you see the lift point is about the same, so monitor arms work fine with this.A few years back, I had the forethought to special order a Mac with a VESA mount. But I've since upgraded that machine, which meant I had a more powerful Mac that was less ergonomic. Now I have the best of both worlds. Soooo worth the money!I did consider building something myself. For $20, this was a better solution. Just buy it.

Oh boy, let me tell you about the VIVO Adapter VESA Mount Kit, the magical contraption that turned my iMac into a floating unicorn on my desk! 🦄✨ Now, I know what you're thinking – "Why on earth would I want to turn my sleek iMac into a wall-mounted masterpiece?" Well, my friend, let me take you on a whimsical journey through my experience.Picture this: I unboxed the kit, and the first thing I thought was, "Is this a miniature spaceship?" The parts were like a puzzle from a parallel universe – strange, intriguing, and oddly satisfying to assemble. It's as if Apple and an alien inventor collaborated to create this gizmo.Installing it was like performing an arcane ritual. Step one: I put on my robe and wizard hat (not really, but it would have felt appropriate). Step two: I carefully removed the iMac's stand, bidding farewell to its desk-bound days. Step three: I affixed the VESA plate, chanting a spell for stability and ergonomic elegance. Voilà! My iMac was now ready to defy gravity.The real enchantment began when I mounted my iMac on the wall. It was as if it had gained a new perspective on life. It felt like a majestic artwork, a portal to a digital wonderland. And let's not forget the newfound desk space – it was like my desk did a happy dance and threw a party for all the extra room.However, there's a catch to this magical transformation. The iMac's cables suddenly seemed like mischievous pixies, refusing to be tamed. Wrangling them was like trying to herd cats – a hilarious spectacle for anyone watching. I had to summon all my patience and a handful of cable clips to keep them in line.In the end, the VIVO Adapter VESA Mount Kit is like the wardrobe to Narnia – it opens up a world of possibilities. If you're ready to embrace the quirks, dance with the cables, and turn your iMac into a floating masterpiece, this kit will be your ticket to a truly enchanting computing experience. Just remember to keep a few cable clips and a sprinkle of pixie dust handy! 🧚‍♂️💻

I bought this to put my 27 inch iMac on the wall and it honestly worked really great, there was a bit of process to connecting it to the wall mount, just a note if you are using a tv mount make sure that the mounting plate is not larger than 200mm in size or it won't fit on the back because of the angle that the mount attaches to the iMac.Other than that its a very simple and easy install, directions are kind of crap however its not too difficult to figure out. The trickiest part ws using the nylon leveling screws which I suggest installing first as they gave me a it of trouble, my holes were a bit threaded wrong so I used one of the other metal screws and kind of retapped the holes then pulled those out and installed the nylon screws which went it really easy after that.

My iMAC does not built in mounting ability so this special adapter was a great tool and worked perfectly

My husband installed this for me onto my 2019 27” iMac, also using this Articulating tv wall mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ID7QNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It took him about half an hour only because I wanted to put it into a small corner (again to maximize space but the corner of the walls also provides further stability for the screen to rest on when not pulled out). I would say with these two pieces of equipment, please make sure you’re securing the mount into a stud. Now its done, the whole thing feels very secure. When installing this, there comes a point where its best to have two sets of hands to ensure you do not drop your precious cargo. The VIVO mount is an essential item if you want to install your iMac on a wall and I’m glad this company provides such a gadget, as I don't believe Apple offer anything like this. No fault at all to the VIVO Adapter, but the only downside is when doing this, you cannot remove the iMac stand at all - at least on the latest version. It just hangs there. Although, I have seen some people decide to cut it off. Whilst waiting for delivery I discovered several Youtube videos that explain the process of installing this (along with the added wall mount) and this helped a lot. Highly recommended, sturdy, in keeping with the Apple design aesthetic and a reasonable price.

Very easy to set up. Great value for money
