I found some handles that attach behind a monitor leveraging the existing mount. (Handles exist is my point, so I don't know if the link I provided has the best prices.)
Rear mounted handles would negate the need to invest in hardened LCDs, me thinks. With the arms that others suggested, these handles look neat.

A monitor cable extension and the creative use of zip ties could allow for frequent moment, like you described. Retractable monitor cables I found look most bad quality.
Those handles look like a pretty good idea, but I don't quite think they'd solve the need for a hard monitor. Since I'll still end up getting the screen dirty and needing to clean it frequently like I have been lately. Though, knowing that any monitor I get will have to meet the mounting requirements set forth by the arms further limits my choices, meaning, I might just have to do without, especially since no one even seems to know of any hard monitors that exist anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I'd wager that nearly all monitors use the VESA standard, so finding mounts shouldn't be too hard.
Yeah, I was surprised at the amount of choices I got when I punched the VESA sizes listed by the arm I was looking at into the monitor filter. I guess my current monitor is not the norm and that most are built for this kind of thing.
