and it might be better to give some definitions

The reason why everyone should buy this monitor stand is its swivel function which most stands don't have. I compose music, I often need to see thirty or more staves at once, and the ability to rotate the monitor from landscape to portrait is just what I need. But do you need it? And what is the difference between the terms tilt, turn and turn? This monitor fulfills all three functions and it would be better to give some definitions. Tilt is the angle at which the monitor screen is pointing more up or down towards the user's face. People who sit higher tilt the screen up, and people who sit lower tilt the screen down. Rotate - This allows you to rotate the screen so you can see it from a different angle without having to move the entire stand around you. This feature is useful for those who are standing and moving when they need to see the monitor, or for businesses that need to show information on their monitor to customers behind the counter. Rotate - This actually allows the monitor to switch from landscape to portrait mode. and vice versa. This makes the screen taller, not wider. On Windows, hold down Ctrl+Alt+Arrow (pointing towards the monitor, which should be at the top) to change the screen orientation. This comes in handy when you value vertical space more than horizontal space. Composers, programmers and artists (among others) really need it. This monitor does all three very well. The incline is more than I need. The rotation is 270Β°, so if you adjust the base correctly, you can turn the whole thing in the opposite direction. The stand also swivels in any direction, which was a big issue when purchasing it. The video cable and power cord are routed through a large slot in the center of the stand, allowing for pivoting in any direction. You can even adjust the tension to move the screen with just the right amount of force. The only surprise is that the base rotates with a mechanism hidden underneath, so rotating what appears to be the entire monitor stand seems odd. Can the monitor be mounted on this stand? Check the back of your monitor and if you have holes on the back you can install it. The holes are 3" or 4" apart and this stand fits any size. Unfortunately, if your monitor doesn't have rear mounting holes, this stand (and most others, I'm afraid) isn't for you. It fits monitors up to 27" diagonal and comes with thumbscrews. So if you later want to install it on another monitor, it's easy to replace. (Thumb screws are only recommended for mounting holes that are 100mm (4") apart; if you have a 75mm (3") hole spacing, use the adapter and screws included in this kit. A caveat , Be aware that this stand increases the monitor real estate on your screen front, probably about 4" closer to my face than before. If you're concerned about surface area or screen distance, know that, even though I'm on my medium-sized desk got used to it pretty quickly, intelligent design that allows it to do everything well.
