How do I mount this monitor to an arm

[Garrett25]

How can I mount this? I found some brackets on Amazon that attach into the vesa port and create a plate on the back to mount the arm to. But I didn't know if that would work.

Hi @Garrett25, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
The HP Pavilion 27xi does not have a standard VESA mount on the back, meaning you can’t directly attach a monitor arm or stand without an adapter.
 

Since this monitor lacks VESA mounting holes, you have two main options:

1. Use a VESA Adapter Bracket

• Some third-party VESA adapter brackets clamp onto the edges or back of the monitor and provide a standard 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA mount.
• These are commonly sold on Amazon, eBay, or specialty monitor accessory stores.
• Look for ones labeled as compatible with HP Pavilion 27xi or similar non-VESA HP monitors.

✅ Pros:

• Allows you to mount on a monitor arm without modifying the monitor.

❌ Cons:

• May block ports or buttons depending on design.
• Some brackets may not be very sturdy, so check reviews.

2. Use a VESA Mount Adapter Kit (Glue or Strap-On Type)

• Some adapters use adhesive plates or strap systems to attach a VESA-compatible plate to the back of the monitor.
• These provide 100x100mm or 75x75mm mounting holes.

✅ Pros:

• No need for screws or modifications.
• Works on monitors without standard mounting holes.

❌ Cons:

• Not as secure as a proper VESA mount.
• Some adhesives may not hold up over time.

If the Amazon bracket you found clamps onto the monitor and provides a VESA plate, it should work. Just check compatibility in the product description to ensure it fits the HP Pavilion 27xi.
 

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
