Review on πŸ–₯️ VIVO Laptop and LCD Monitor Stand up Desk Mount: Extra Tall Adjustable Stand for Laptops up to 17 inches - STAND-V012C by Brian Krump

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More stable than the shorter version, holds my big dumb cinema tight.

I ordered a regular mount from the same company first because I didn't think I would need a taller one. I liked it but sent it back in exchange for a higher version which worked great for me. I would like to point out that the shorter/standard version does not fit my Apple monitor! This thing is incredibly heavy so I don't even blame the old mount, but it's worth noting that this mount holds the cinema screen in place without tipping it forward under the weight. BUT! If you want to use it for something like Cinema Display, you need to buy an extra part, which you can also find here for $10 and screw directly onto the VESA plate. AGAIN AGAIN this isn't a knock on the mount itself, it's the problem of Apple, who made their big beautiful monitor with ZERO mounting points and a big metal leg that can't be removed. (The display is awful, but grrrr, I'm so sorry Apple values their design so much - it should still be usable, dammit!) The vertical stalk is 3-piece, so you can remove the middle one if you don't want it. The full height is not required. (what I did). All the tools you need are included, lots of really nice touches like Allen wrench storage in the cable routing clips, and it all feels very solid. Very satisfied.

The kit contains all the necessary tools, a lot of really nice little things, like Allen key storage in the cable management clips, and it all feels very solid. Very satisfied.
