Go to a home depot or any department store to get the following materials:

screws (size up to you)

Metal Frame at 90 degree angle

Large sheet of plexiglass (enough to easily cover your monitor at least two times over)

Any tools ranging from Dremel, Hammer, Glasses, Mask

See First Picture
Once you have these materials go to your workshop and measure out where you will place your screws. I made holes for five screws spaced about 2 inches apart. But you can space them out according to the weight of your monitor and how long your frame will be.

See Second Picture
Once you have measured and made the holes in your frame, you will need to shape the frame to your desired angle. My angle was somewhere in the range of 70 degrees. This is so the monitor will be at a slight angle so it will not tip towards you. But make sure it is not at too small of an angle because then the monitor will not fit in.
