Chosen Solution
I’m hoping to attach two of these monitors to a sit/stand work station. It’s configured for a PC and Apple told me to get VESA mount adaptors, but they only seem to work with newer Mac monitors. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
If you look at the Tech Specs page for a Cinema Display, the specs say “Compatible with VESA FDMI (MIS-D, 100, C) compliant mounting solutions. (Requires optional Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter, M9649G/A)” So if you get the M9649G/A, or perhaps this generic an Apple VESA Mount Adapter you should be Golden. If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
Here’s a good Vid on how it’s done VESA mount adapter for older iMac’s, Cinema Display or Thunderbolt display
I know this is an older question but I just found this alternative to the Vesa mount and wanted to get it on record. NewerTech NuMount Pivot Desk Mount http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20T… Clicking on the compatibility tab not only shows what it will work with but what it won’t work with. Neat gadget! There is also a wall mount NewerTech NuMount Pivot Wall Mount http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech… iMac (Late 2009 - 2011) 27-inch iMac Intel iMac (Mid 2007 - Early 2009) 24-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Displays 24-inch & 27-inch

Hello everyone, if you’re still looking for an alternative to the MG 9649G/A, to use on your old 30” Cinema Display, search for HumanCentric’s version which goes for $30. I don’t know why Ebay sellers are listing it for hundreds of dollars, when it’s just a piece of metal. The instruction manual that I found confirms this and shows it very simple to install. Good luck everyone.
