I've never seen the model up close.  But if there's an indentation in
the back that can act as a handle, that's a possible place for screws.

Also, the Apple monitor I do have had a screw in the middle of the back,
I guess where the power cord enters.  Other monitors I've opened often 
have a screw in the middle of the back, acting as support for the back of 
the circuit board.
