How do I go about locking an LCD down?

[pennylane]

I have a Viewsonic VP171b.

There's no place for a lock (I can't find one anyway). I don't want to drill a hole in it... What else can I do?

Also, do you think it's necesary to lock down the desktop?

Your LCD doesn't have a small oval shaped hole on it somewhere for a laptop cable lock?

Also, yes, I'd recommend locking down the desktop too. We've had some of our smaller machines walk out of the building in backpacks, etc.

Edit - Specs on your monitor says it has a "Kensington® security port" built into it.

no...

If it doesn't have a hole and you aren't willing to drill one, then you just need to find some extremely strong tape or glue

Can't find it. Saw it mentioned on the European pdf manual thing. Not the American one.

Just stand there holding a weapon for the rest of the LCD's life.

Seriously, try plubmers tape (the metal straps) and bolt it to the wall or desk. Otherwise...

The plumbers tape is actually a decent idea. You could probably paint it if you care about how it looks. To be really secure you will probably hate to put a hole in the LCD though.

Another idea if you have a LCD with thin stand that it does not remove is to get a big schackled master lock and put it around the base and then chain the lock to something.

I had to connect the LCD to the stand. So that wouldn't be all that useful...
