I have an application where I want to mount a 24" LCD monitor flush against a wall for displaying specials in a store.
I have the monitor and the PC to drive it but the VGA cable pokes out behind the monitor. I do not want to replace the monitor or cut a hole in the wall (brick) so my only solution appears to be to mount the monitor a few inches out from the wall. Are there any really flexible cables that could solve my problem?

Since you're asking about cables I presume that there's a VGA socket on the monitor, and it faces towards the rear.
I'm sure you could hunt around for a more flexible cable and a compact plug, but you might like to explore something such as this.
It may allow you to use the VGA cable you have. However I'm nit sure that you would gain that much extra space. You can get versions that point up or down.
Are there any other connectors on the monitor? DVI or HDMI for instance? They may be in a better position or allow for a more flexible cable.

re: Putting a monitor flat on the wall
As an alternative, have you considered a wall mount bracket? The bracket bolts to the wall and the panel is mounted to it and is permitted to swivel and tilt. It accomadates rear mounted cables as well.
You can get them from almost any place selling flat panels including DHS and Jacar. just choose one suitable for the panel size.
(I gathered that Reilly wants something that's as close to the wall as possible. I wondered if he would even prefer something set into the wall. Or a projector perhaps? -PZ)
