Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter Kit

Works great - less filling

I had absolutely no trouble attaching the adapter to my 20" Cinema display, and absolutely no trouble attaching my articulating arm to the adapter. My only gripe is that the adapter bracket obscures part of the Apple logo on the back of the Cinema display.

Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter Kit

Nice piece of kit

This a very well crafted and machined piece of hardware. It has a nice finish and complements the looks my new 30" Cinema Display nicely. The only slight problem I had attaching it to the display was that you first have to snap on two thin gray plastic bumpers. I found these a tad hard to fully seat in place. Due to the tight tolerances to which this mount is built,y ou need to make sure the bumpers are fully seated or the screws wont align properly to go in the sides of the unit.

I disagree with the naysayers. I think that the mount is great! Apart from being slightly bothersome to attach to the monitor, it sits well, matches the piece and does just what it says on the box. Thing is, there are several VESA sizes so you have to get a mount that is compatible. 50 x 50, 75 x 75, 100 x 100 and 200 x 200 are all dimesions which are included the VESA standard. So when you buy your actual wall mount be informed as which sizes it will accommodate and what portion of the standard it applies to and then you won't have to blame Apple for your ignorance. You wouldn't go to an auto parts store and ask for a battery without knowing what kind of car it was going into, would you?

Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter Kit

works as expected

While a bit overpriced, the adapter works perfectly and is easy to attach.

It's a substantial piece of aluminum and it would be a waste of resources to provide one for each of the 99% of display purchasers who would never use it.

Considering Apple's usual attention to detail, I'm surprised that the adapter covers the bottom of the Apple logo on the back of the (23") display. One would think, with this in mind, the logo would have been placed a bit higher. (No one will see this unless the display is pulled a good distance from the wall.)
