As for wall mounting, I managed to find a nice one for a fiver in my local cheapy shop, sturdy as hell too, and if you need to move it, its only 2 screwholes.
Ive never looked back, nice for cables n shizzle too. Easily moved, looks funky and great for when your trying to hide things behind the monitor itself , lmfao
