Neoflex LCD Stand, Black

This stand is by far better than most stands that come stock with LCD monitors including apple's cinema displays (they have great style but only tilt) and Samsung's "touch of color" monitor line. It is solid, has acceptable styling, is fully functioning on all axis' and most importantly its INEXPENSIVE! - A good buy overall...

You can't go wrong with this adjustable-height stand. We've put fifteen of them in place on previously non-adjustable monitors and couldn't be happier. The thumbscrews were an added bonus and made installation that much simpler. Great product, great price, great shipping time.

While substantially better than the vast majority of OEM stands, as others have pointed out, there are a couple of areas that need improvement:

First, the lower set of monitor attaching screws need better access for secure tighening. It can be done, but not with a normal, straight, Phillips head screwdriver. Frankly, I don't know if this would be possible since it would mean narrowing the stand width, which may have to be at least a certain width to accomodate internal parts and/or monitor weight requirements.

Secondly, the tension adjustment needs an additonal way to lock and secure the monitor at any height less than the very top so that it can't creep up or down due to too great/little spring tension adjustment. Having the tension adjustment access in some place other than the bottom of the stand would have been nice, too.

Otherwise, this is about as good as it gets for an aftermarket stand that raises the monitor to a level that could lessen neck/eye strain. One nice feature I haven't seen mentioned is the ability of the circular stand to swivel the monitor like a lazy susan.

I recently bought a ViewSonic VX2240W LCD monitor that came with a fixed-height stand. With this stand, the bottom of the monitor frame was about 6" above the desk, making me crane my head up to see the display. While browsing around the LCD monitors section of Amazon, I came across this stand and at $34.99, decided to give it a try. I couldn't be more pleased.

Mounting the Neo-Flex stand to the back of the monitor couldn't have been easier (once I figured out how to get the old stand mount off). The up/down adjustment is about as easy as you could ask for - no screws, buttons, or release tabs required - just push it up or down. The height adjustment is controlled by a spring-loaded slider that came adjusted just about right for the weight of the 2240 (I backed the pre-load tension off about one turn, but it probably would have been fine as delivered). Once mounted and re-installed, the bottom of the monitor is now about 1.75" from the desk.

Much more comfortable.

Like a previous reviewer from a couple weeks ago, I also bought this monitor to replace the basic, unconfigurable stand that comes with the Samsung 2443BWX 24" monitor. This stand is great. It allows you to tilt, rotate, and raise/lower your monitor. I like being able to rotate the screen so that it is in portrait mode. The stand also rotates at the base (like a lazy susan). The stand appears & feels very sturdy and well made.
