Sorry about the late response, the listing that I bought is this one:

I didn't bother to mess around with mounting, I just used command strips to attach the driver board to the back of the monitor and mounted the monitor on one of these clamp-type stands:

The heat sink on the board can get warm but nothing to worry about regarding being mounted to the monitor.
