5.0 out of 5 stars Vanguard Desk Mount, April 22, 2009

By	Ellen W. "E-Dub" (MN, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this desk mount for the 19" LCD monitor I just bought. I did my research on desk mounts and I'm pleased with my choice.

It is solid metal, well made, every joint is adjustable..side to side and up and down. At the lowest point it holds the bottom of my monitor 1 1/2" above the desk top. I'm short, so I wanted something to let the screen sit low. I also wear bifocal glasses.. so having a lower screen means not having to kink my neck back to see through the bifocal part of my glasses.

Vanguard includes 4 sets of different sized screws to attach the Vesa mount to the monitor. I had no problems figuring out which size screws to use for my monitor.

The arms have plates to run the cords in the bottom of the arms and hold them secure. No plastic clip ons, although they provide a few plastic cinch ties, of which I didn't need. You'll need a very small phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the plates and reattach them. A "glasses" screw driver will work very nicely. I suggest mounting the cords in the arm, before attaching the mount to your monitor/TV.. those tiny screws could fall inside the Monitor.

The mounting head swivels up and down, while the joint just behind the mount swivels side to side. All the joints allow you to swing your monitor out of the way and adjust it further back or closer with nice tight joints. Once it's in place, it stays there, until you move it. No vibration from typing either! It's solid. There is also a screw on the mount to adjust the tilt of your monitor. Untighten to adjust, retighten to keep it snug.

It comes with a second mounting screw to place through your desktop, but the hand tightening over-the-edge clamp is big enough to be as secure as you'd want it. If you were mounting a heavier monitor or TV, you would probably need the extra secure screw hole on the top of the base that would screw into the top surface of your desk.

All in all, it's an excellent product and worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Task Complete, May 25, 2009

By	David Woodin "couchwarmer" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for a way to mount my laptop so it swung over my recliner and returned out of the way so I could get up easily and this product has worked very well in that task. I am enjoying the product and have stopped looking for a way to accomplish that.

Task Complete.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality control, June 5, 2009

By	Joseph More "Forever Curious" (Waltham, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On the unit I received, the down- tilt adjustment is too stiff to be practical, and there is no adjustment to the stiffness. (Loosening the screws on this bearing does nothing but allow one to remove the covering plastic disks.)
It is supposed to be possible to turn the monitor on the mount, but this bearing is so tight that this is impossible; and I could not loosen the Allen bolt on this bearing without placing the mount in a vise, which I did not wish to do and risk damaging the mount.
I am returning it to Amazon. Too bad, and inexcusable, that I could not use the mount due to such minor details.
