Review on Monitor Adapter Mount Compatible Pavilion by Dana Cardenas

It was easy to install at first, but difficult to remove. Secure the metal back plate to the VESA mounting plate with 4 screws and nuts. Remove that awful little wobbly HP stand mechanism. A metal pincer covered with a piece of molded plastic is left on an HP 27f monitor. Remove the HP molded plastic piece leaving only the metal tongs protruding. Attach the 3D printed piece of plastic to the metal HP pliers and screw it into the slot on the metal backplate. And now you have connected your monitor. If you decide to use a different VESA mount or monitor (if it's on the compatibility list), remove the nuts and bolts and snap it back into the new hardware. As such, this mount has some unwanted details. : This mount tends to be placed too close to the bottom of the VESA plate and the bottom of the monitor. This way the bottom of your monitor will be next to the bottom of the stand. Therefore, when reconfiguring, your stand or mount must accommodate the height of two or more monitors. Some vertical bars on some multi-monitor stands will not work with the new height requirements of these adapters. Maybe even better for some. (I actually like this for my arm mount vertical bar.) This mount usually works well with most, but it causes the VESA adapter plate to sit low on the monitor. I also doubt the long term stability due to the poorly printed 3D part showing signs of delamination at the layer lines even before attachment. This plastic block should be attached to the already flimsy HP mount with two metal pins. The 3D printed plastic block supports most of the monitor's weight when inserted into a metal frame instead of a real solid metal arm. I do a lot of 3D printing and I wouldn't have a problem reprinting one if the first one breaks (and it probably will over time), but I think that's too big a point of failure with these adapters. And most people I think will have to keep going back to the seller to replace that block of plastic. Should have been a metal mount or a good solid molded block of plastic. This 3D has many level lines and you can see how they break up into these lines before it is assembled. It depends on what plastic this block is made of, chipping, breaking, or expanding over time, but neither of those things work well for holding a monitor. The metal plate was really solid, but then they made this device cheaper that adapts the adapter to a separate monitor. This will be the weak link of this mounting adapter. The next problem is the weird way they clip the little U-shaped rubberized mechanism under the monitor to keep it from tipping down. It just doesn't last long and it was a pretty cheap solution to tilting an HP monitor. This lasts less than a couple of weeks at best, and not that long if you tilt your monitor at all. The next problem is that there is no thread on the plate to hold the screws. Bolts and nuts without lock washers on the back must be used. First, it means the nuts won't stay tight over time. Just adding lock washers would have helped. But to be honest the holes had to be punched and shimmed to hold this monitor adapter in place. It also makes it more difficult to install and remove the stand if you change your mind about using the stand or just want to remove it to clean or move the stand. Have you ever tried carrying a stand with two or four monitors attached? Not easy, but still easier than unscrewing all the nuts and bolts holding everything together. Since HP has removed the plastic part of the quick release for their 3D printed plastic block in their mounting method, you can no longer easily remove the monitor from the mount. So if you never move monitors or touch your small, light monitors, you probably won't care much about the issues I've mentioned here. However, when you install large monitors (25 inches or larger), these issues become very important. While I won't say I don't like this monitor adapter, I don't recommend it. I bought one of these adapters for each of my two monitors. one from Best Buy and one from Revain because neither of them could get me two at once when I tried to order. They have a rigged method to solve monitor tilt issues. They also left HP's plastic button block in place, making it much easier to remove the monitors from their stands. So, honestly, for HP 27f monitors, I would recommend just skipping them and getting Vivo VESA adapters.
