Here's a tip if you don't have much experience with using drills (or hammer drills);
- Clamp or tape the mounting bracket to the wall initially before you drill - brackets or hooks that are screwed into the wall are quite strong and have quite a bit of holding capacity!
- Remove the tape slowly or use water or glue remover to avoid taking off the paintwork
This way you have a guide when you are drilling and do not have to drill into an exact spot.
Also remember to:
- Cover the face of the monitor (particularly an expensive one) with the foam the monitor comes in or bubble wrap ~ tape the corners so you can push onto the screen when you lift up to mount the monitor

Unfortunately I haven't (yet) found an easy way to install shelves or wall-mounted desks without having a bit of practice being able to drill into an exact spot.
Wall mounted desks and shelves of course save you a bit of floor space and cost a bit less in material as there are no legs ~
~ actually they cost next to nothing compared to regular shelves and desks probably because
they are a bit too difficult for novices to install!
