Summary: I agree with what has been said by the previous reviewers. A few more points:

(1) If you don't already realize, this stand allows you to mount your LCD in the portrait mode, which is the way I use it for a 17 inch LCD as a secondary display on side of a larger 21 inch display. But please note that the stand does not allow you to pivot from landscape to portrait or vice versa. You can do either way when you mount the display, but once the display is mounted, you can't pivot between the two modes. You will have to dismount and re-mount to change the mode if you need to. In my case, the display stays in portrait mode, so it does not bother me. But if you will need to switch back and forth between landscape and portrait modes, you'd better find an LCD display that has a built-in pivotable stand.

(2) On the other hand, the stand does allow you to tilt the LCD panel.

(3) The height adjustment works pretty well. It does stay put if you don't move the LCD. There is a screw to adjust how firm the height stays put, but even with that, the height is easily changed if you move the LCD. Again, because I don't move my LCDs so frequently, it works fine.

(4) In order to use the stand, your LCD display must be VESA compatible, meaning that it must have proper mounting holes on the back. I did not know it, but it turned out that most LCD displays made today are VESA compatible. Good example of the industrial collaboration on standards.

(5) In addition to the excellent functionality, the stand is of very good quality. When I bought it, I was reluctant but had to buy it because it seemed to be the only way for me to use my present LCD in a portrait mode. I figured that the stand was probably worth of $15-$20 but with a $30 extra markup for its oddity. This is a typical scenario for buying accessories. You know you are paying 10 dollars for something that would have cost less than two dollars if included in the origin equipment, but you have no choice after having already made the initial investment on the main equipment. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the stand. I feel I probably would be gladly paying $45 for it even if I was not under coercion.

Summary: This is an excellent LCD replacement stand. The height adjustment is easy to set at eye level. The lazy susan rollers on the bottom make it easy to rotate the stand and LCD if you need to change the view angle or need access behind the LCD. This is topped off with a simple yet stylish design.

Summary: I bought this stand as a replacement for a HP w2207 LCD because the original stand was a bit twisted; I could never seem to get it straight and level, and it swiveled too easy for me. Installation was very easy and ,so far, it's working great!
