The mount worked exactly as I expected and was easy to install. You simply remove the monitor base, use the screw that secures the base to attach the adapter, and then attach the adapter to the VESA mount. How I Review: When I review a product, the listed product automatically gets four stars as I rarely buy anything below four stars. I then add and/or subtract stars based on certain criteria listed below.1. When an item meets my expectations and no more, it gets four stars2. If an item exceeds my expectations, it gets a star3. If an item doesn't meet my expectations, it loses a star4. If the directions for a product (if required) are poorly written (difficult to understand due to language or grammar issues) or just too difficult to follow, she loses a star if the product meets or exceeds my expectations5. If the product is significantly below my expectations, I deduct two stars6. I rarely give a product one star as I mostly buy products with a 4+ rating, but on rare occasions there can be a good reason why even a four star product gets a star from me. This may be due to customer service issues on the company's part, but in any case I will clearly explain why I am giving the product only one star.
