This log is a month late... pardon me as I was too busy working my ass off at my internship.
I tried to obtain the dimensions for the hinges from the seller's listing… nope. And the manual never had anything... So, I snapped the highest res photo my phone was capable of along with a 1cm diameter magnet for scaling. Getting rid of the parallax took quite some tries tho (Thus the odd angle and height).

Finally modeled the monitor and some hinges as shown in the next image (There's also a lapse). Some, because I, being a noob at carpentry, ordered a round 7Nm pivot hinge. It was stiff enough to resist the highest torque my hand could generate with my janky leverage made of pliers and m3 bolts. Too much torque. I just donated it to the engineering lab. I also bought a ginormous 3310-sized steel damper hinge for doors that couldn't hold up a bottle of gum let alone the monitor. Too weak... Guess bigger does not equal stronger. Donated that as well. After lurking on the hinges channel of cyberdeck cafe's server, I finally bought a 2.3Nm Hinge that I have yet to unfold and another 0.7Nm damper pivot hinge that was stiff enough for me to work with.
