VIVO Premium Single 17 to 32 inch VESA Monitor and Touch Screen Desk Stand with Rotating Base, Freestanding Pneumatic Height Adjustable Arm, 12 inch Maximum Screen Height, Black, STAND-V001R

This simply is a quality monitor stand. Good design, heavy duty materials, with excellent fit and finish. It's more of an investment than the $20 - $30 range stands, but it's in a whole different class. IMO, well worth the additional cost. I'm using this with a 27" video conferencing monitor. Assembly was very straight forward. They recommend having assistance, but I was able to do it solo with no problem. All of the tools (2 allen wrenches) except a #2 phillips screwdriver were included. By adjusting the angle of the mounting bracket, you can slide the monitor mount into the top screw slots, tighten them, and then add the bottom screws. After reading the many comments about the weight adjustment screw's being way off, I cranked it way down (clockwise) MANY turns before trying to mount the monitor (until it felt about right). No further adjustment was necessary. This adjustment is pretty stiff, so be prepared to put a little effort into it. Note than the screen can be rotated (landscape to portrait), but you need to remove the screw locking it in place. Check the specs to be sure the height range will meet your needs, and if so, I believe you'll be very pleased with this.

This is really sturdy. I'm using it to mount a 27" touchscreen monitor in a lo,, flat, tilted position for sports web-streaming. Works like a champ. I did have to crank down the pneumatic piston tension almost to the stop to prevent the piston from forcing the relatively lightweight monitor up. That piston is strong! Once you adjust the piston and neck tension, you can position the monitor any way you want it and it will stay. It has both 75 and 100 mm mounting holes.

Claim is that the screen will rotate. Problem is that it only rotates a few degrees and not far enough for portrait mode — needs to rotate 90° for that. Since my Apple Studio Monitor supports both landscape and portrait modes, I need to return this — which is too bad. Otherwise, this is a great, sturdy, desktop-stand (no clamp needed) VESA mount with plenty of heft. You are highly unlikely to knock your monitor over accidentally. It's easy to assemble and has a wide range of adjustment for the weight of the monitor. If it could support both portrait and landscape mode, I would give it 6 out of 5 stars but you have to chose one mode or the other in advance, darn it.

This stand is the perfect accessory for holding an iPad, which can also double as a second screen for your desktop. It's a sturdy little gadget.

Assembly was straightforward and the directions were adequate. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the arm up or down and have it stay there. I had to push down firmly on the arm with my whole hand to lower it, and it would just pop right back up again. Based on some reviews here, I thought maybe I had to get it in the desired position and then try "locking" it with the hex nut adjuster, but that didn't seem to be working either. I understood that it loosened in one direction and tightened in the other, but I had no initial notion of what the total range of turning should be in either direction. I very quickly came to the end of adjustment at the "tight" end, so I started "unwinding" it to the loose end and just kept going. And going. And it didn't really seem like it made any change to the behavior. Maybe I didn't have to push QUITE as hard to make it go down, but it still sprang right back up instantly. So I cranked it some more, and kept going. and going. and going. and going. No, really, this went on forever (in awkward little half-turns with the hex wrench). And finally! it had been loosened enough that I could get the desired behavior out of it - easily lowering or raising the arm, with it remaining in place on its own! The PROBLEM, apparently, was that my monitor, at about 5.86 pounds, is just way LIGHTER than what this stand can support, and the arm tension had been set very close to maximum upon arrival, and for such a lightweight monitor, I had to back the tension off waaay waay down the scale just to get that free articulation. If I'd been mounting a 25 pound monitor on here, it would have responded much sooner at higher settings, with that greater starting weight. I suppose the point of this is that I had actually worried for a moment that maybe they'd sent me a defective one, until I finally realized that it's actually just a lot more robust than I'd even expected! If your monitor is very light, you may need to loosen the tension considerably before the arm works as intended. The weight of the stand is good, and it comes with rubber feet under the base, no contact between desk and surface or screws. The rotation (swivel) of the arm (on the base) is easy and smooth. The articulation of the arm is ideal for the specific place this will be used. We're very pleased with the purchase.

The review below was for an older version of this product. The current version is not as good. The new version does not lift the monitor as high as the old one and when you try to rotate the monitor to portrait orientation the monitor hits the monitor base. ----------------------------- This worked very well for me. The cables management could have been easier to put together, but after setting it up I doubt I will have to mess with the cables very often. I bought this so that I could have one of my monitors vertical. But I like it so much I am getting a second one so that I can adjust the height of my main (horizontal) monitor. The monitor position, tilt, and rotation on this mount adjusts with a little pressure from my hand but otherwise it stays where you put it. And the base is flat so you can put things on it, like your glasses that you are always loosing. Good sturdy product.

This item will not change your life, but it will transform your work environment. I bought this for my XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 Drawing Display. I imagined moving my monitor all around all the time, but that's not really what this is for. It is sturdy and gives you more desk room.

Pros: Sturdy for a desktop stand that is supporting the weight and size of a new Apple Studio Display. The side-to-side rotation is smooth, steady and goes to almost 45 degrees either direction. The tilt of the screen up or down is smooth and steady. Given its limitation in moving the height of the screen up and down (see below), the downward tilt is probably overkill because the screen will never go high enough to require it. Cons: Contrary to what Vivo Customer Service told me when I called to ask if this stand would allow my Apple Studio Display to rotate 90 degrees (from landscape to portrait and back) WITHOUT removing any screws, it CANNOT (I even waited for them to confirm the answer with their technical specs department). The upper height is very limited and I should have picked up on that from the specs in the description (see photos above). The max height of the stand is 12" from the center of the VESA plate to the top of the desk. This limitation in height also prevents a 90 degree rotation for a monitor my size because the arm could not raise up high enough for my monitor to clear the desk if you tried to rotate it. Poor instructions. Thank goodness for the helpful tips that others have posted on adjusting the tension for raising and lowering the screen because they were very helpful. Tips: The instructions and other reviewers mention that the installation is a two-person job at certain steps, and I agree. However I assembled it by myself while sitting on a thick carpet on the floor and I protected the front of my screen, just in case. It was a gymnastic event to attach the screws and washers thru the bracket into the VESA plate while holding up the monitor at an angle securely. I then placed the screen face down on the floor and balanced the bracket assembly between my knees while I adjusted the tension, based on some of the unexpected responses other reviewers have described with the piston. I'm keeping it after all of this because I have not found a sturdy desk top stand for a new Apple Studio Display that offers the side-to-side rotation + up/down tilt of the screen + the ability to rotate the screen between landscape and portrait orientations without removing screws. If anyone finds this unicorn stand, I would appreciate hearing about it!!
