I created a set of cutting templates for this project. Click here to download the PDF of my templates. This stand is designed for a Vizio D24F Smart TV, so you may have to adjust the templates if you are making this project for a different TV.
The Vizio D24F Smart TV has mounting holes that are 10cm apart on center. The holes require four metric M4 screws. I used 16mm long screws that were too short to go through 3/4" lumber, so I drilled counter-bores to recess the screws. Make sure there is only about 1/4" of screw that goes into the TV to prevent the screw from damaging internal components.
I made my own adjustment knob using epoxy and a 1/4"-20 bolt cut to size. It screws into a standard 1/4"-20 threaded insert in the bracket. This worked out great and saved me time and money by eliminating a trip to the hardware store.
Isn't that walnut just beautiful? This was an easy custom project that can be made with just a jig saw and a drill. If you need a monitor stand, try making one yourself!
PROJECT UPDATE! After using the stand for a few days, I realized that the back of the TV is a little rounded, and as a result, the monitor was tilted forward slightly. I decided to cut the bottom of the upright piece at a 3-degree angle so the monitor would tilt back a little. This simple fix did the trick!
