Okay, I'll pipe in.
First of all, I have the same Matthews mount for my 17" Sony that John recommends. It's works very well and is worth the $.
The mount/wings that Necktie Boy refers to is just the rack-mount handles that came with the monitor. I keep them attached to the monitor as added protection from being bumped and they provide a natural place to lift, carry, and reposition the monitor. In fact, at a workshop in Maine last month I allowed the monitor to topple over on a stand when a cable got pulled too hard (totally my own fault) and the rack-mount handles took the whole brunt of the crash and just got a little bent and scratched. The monitor itself came through perfectly.
I carry the monitor (with the Matthews mount attached) in a Pelican case. I lay the monitor face down but the rack mount handles work very nicely to keep the screen elevated above the foam. Nothing ever touches the screen. I can also squeeze in a couple of video and power cables.
I've been on the road shooting since September and I don't have that monitor with me so I can't tell you for sure what model of Pelican case I use. I think it is a 1600, but don't quote me on that. I'll be home in a couple of weeks if someone really wants to know what model it is. It is a tight fit -- but that's what you want! You don't want any movement to be allowed inside. Pretty sure it is the 1600.
I can pull the monitor out of the case and have it setup on a stand or a table top in about 15 seconds.
Oh, one more thing, I also have a d-tap to 4-pin XLR cable so that I can power the monitor from one my camera batteries. I only plug the Sony into a wall if I will be in one spot for more than a couple of hours, otherwise I power it from a battery. The battery goes into a zippered case that hangs from the stand.
BTW, I am happy to say that on most shoots I'm 100% battery operated now for lighting, monitor, camera, mixer, etc. FREEDOM!!!!
