The Samsung P2770H widescreen 27" monitor is not listed as VESA compatible. And it isn't, at all. However...

First, remove the stand from the bottom of the monitor. Lie the monitor face down on a towel (I used a nice piece of cardboard) and pull the stand off. It takes some strength, just do it.

There are no screws on the back of the monitor. It seems like there is a screw hidden under the sticker on the back, but this is just the dimple from molding the piece of plastic.

The entire back of the monitor, including the area that the stand plugs into, is held on with little clips around the perimeter. It is possible to insert a knife blade into the seam, in the bottom, and putting your fingers into the hole for the monitor stand, start popping the little clips.

As you reach the corners, make sure the monitor is face-down on something flexible. Push down and away on the bezel of the monitor, and pull the back plate up and away. The corner will pop out of the clips. This is a delicate operation, but you must also pull strongly.

Continue all around, and pull the back off. Mine was safe to remove, but I shined a small flashlight into the crack and looked around the interior area to make sure no wires were connected, you might want to do the same.

Once the back was removed, I simply screwed a VESA quick-release bracket directly into the plastic in the middle of the back panel. The back is curved, and there is a large enough area back there that short screws won't touch the interior components of the monitor.

Here is a bracket similar to the one I used. Although my bracket came with my adjustable monitor arm.

Then, with the bracket screwed directly into the back plastic, I pressed the plastic back panel down onto the monitor, listening for all of the clicks as the little clips came back together.

The mounting feels very solid, and since my monitor arm is adjustable, it doesn't matter that the bracket is not perfectly vertical on the back of the monitor.
