Assortment of ports: HDMI, DVI, VGA, Audio

Monitor Types

There are three types of monitors that have VESA mounts on them:

VESA built into monitor stand (option 1)

This monitor has the stand attachment where the VESA mount is. This means that ViPC cannot be mounted to it with just the monitor and case; it would need the AiO adapter in between. screenopt1

VESA Mount flush with ports (option 2)

This monitor has a VESA mount separate to the stand but is flush with the I/O. ViPC could potentially block plugs for the monitor screenopt2

VESA Mount sticking out (option 3)

This monitor has the I/O facing downwards with the VESA mount sticking out farther away, leaving space to plug in ports with the ViPC hanging on the back. screenopt3

Thoughts

@VillageHubertChen

Option 1 will work for the AiO, but not for a standalone. This type of stand is what most of the high quality monitors use

Could you show me how ViCase will be mounted to a monitor? If there is adequate spacing, option 2 is the most popular with manufacturers and gives users the most options for choosing monitors. If there isn't enough clearance to plug in the power and HDMI cord to the monitor, were going to need to develop an extender of some sorts because this is how the majority of monitors are made.

Option 3 is the rarest to find but gives the best mounting option; plenty of clearance and keeps the ports out of the way so no obstruction.

Let me know what you think of this and if the current ViCase mounting is going to limit which monitors people can use.
