I picked up a wall bracket from Maplins (in fact for a 32" TV not a
monitor) - they did have a range and as I recall came with numerous
different holes and M4, M6, and M8 screws to cover most fitting
configurations.

I got the impression that when a piece of kit (monitors or TVs) says
it is wall mountable then it will have threaded holes in the back
inparticular semi-standard places and that most (hopefully all) off
the shelf mounting brackets should work with them. Certainly my Iiyama
does.

If you are buying on line it might be possible to find out about the
mounting holes.

Meanwhile I recently saw in a well known supermarket of all places a
rather smaller and more compact mounting kit at 19.99- might be worth
a look next time you are shopping B-) I'm sur thay would take it back
if it turned out not to fit.
