Can any one recommend a Screen mount? I need one that can be drilled (dont know the word but to make a hole and bolt  it in). it has to very durable and hold 13 pound all in one. I dont need a long arm at all.

I'm using this one on my monitor:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00898482G

It was actually cheaper ($13) when I bought it. Works pretty well, including a pretty wide range of motion. My 2 (minor) issues are that when you push it back all the way against the wall it doesn't center on the spot that it attaches to the wall, and it doesn't lock the monitor into place horizontally level.

If the extending arm is of no interest to you and you just need it secured on the wall, you can try something like this:

Anyone interested in the LG ultra-wide I posted about earlier in this thread, it's on sale:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025038

$229.99 - $30 rebate - $25 Visa Checkout promo (code: VCOBF15).

This model is actually better than the one I got, with better ports (HDMI, DVI-D, and Displayport - instead of just 2 HDMI's) and built in speakers.

Yup.
The second monitor does not even recognize that it is plugged in.
I am not is such big trouble I will just have to order I 5 1/2 foot VGA.

Come to thing of it I may have an extra XVGA (I think that's what it's called [the white one]) and use an adapter.

I googled it its not possible to do what I wanted.

You are probably best off using a long hdmi cable
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

just got someone a 27 inch screen and an i7 desktop win10.
he now wants a touch screen for it.
they are pricey but also they dont seem to make standalone touchscreens bigger than 22 inches
should i just get him the 22 inch touch?
ideas?

Any experts here?
I own these two screens at two different locations. Is there any reason why the one on the first link is giving me headaches as opposed to the one on the second link?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260154
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236327

What's the main difference between them?
I need someone who knows how to read specs for this type of product.
Thanks!

P.S. Looking for a new monitor 23-24in, any good deals out there? Ideally, I'd want to try to avoid buying whatever is giving me a headache.

Did you see any difference in the type of display?
I.e. I'm trying to zero in on why one is causing headaches and the other isn't..
What could it be?
