Q. Hi, I am new the world on cameras, and I bought this one as my second camera, and I have a very strong feeling that the only screen is the small one about the LCD monitor. Am I correct? Or is there a setting I can change to make the LCD monitor the screen like almost every other camera?
A. "screen"? "about the monitor"? Your question is very strange.
However, I will take a guess, anyway.
I would say you are asking about the viewfinder, and about something called "live view".
Your camera is rather old and basic (but that doesn't make it a bad camera), and it doesn't have that feature.
However, you are not missing out on anything.
"Live View" on a DSLR is not the same as the screen on a P&S.
You can hold a P&S at arm's length in the typical snapshooter's position (and that is such a bad technique), but thankfully you can't do that for very long with a heavy DSLR & lens combo.
Live view has its uses occasionally , for instance for macro shots, but it isn't instant like the display on a P&S, it sort of lags, and just doesn't feel right.
Live View is not meant to replace the view finder, a serious photographer uses the view finder because it is vastly superior, full stop.
I was excited about my first DSLR with live view, but very quickly gave up on it again - the view finder is so much better.
Your camera may be basic, but you have a perfectly wonderful learning tool - use it to your advantage.
Learn about your camera !!!!
Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between. If you don't have a book, download a new one from the manufacturer's website.
Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.
The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.

Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.

How can i mount a 19" lcd computer monitor on a wall?
Q. I want to mount my computer monitor on the wall with a swing arm. How do i know if it will mount to the back of the monitor?
I want to use the wall mount swing arm so i can get rid of my computer table and have more room.

A. Look for one that has a VESA 100 x 100 bracket ... this is the standard on PC monitors.
The specs for your LCD will specify which Vesa standard bracket it uses (may be Vesa 75 x 75)
