How to Mount the LCD Monitor Base

The process for mounting a gaming monitor on its stand can vary depending on the specific model of the monitor.

1. Check the manual: Before starting, check the monitor’s manual to see if it has any specific instructions for mounting the stand. This will help ensure that you don’t accidentally damage the monitor or the stand during installation.
2. Attach the base: Typically, the first step is to attach the stand’s base to the monitor. This is usually done by sliding the base onto the bottom of the monitor and securing it in place with screws.
3. Attach the arm: Once the base is attached, you will need to attach the arm that supports the monitor. This arm is usually attached to the base using screws and can be adjusted to change the height and angle of the monitor.
4. Attach the monitor: Once the arm is attached, you can attach the monitor to it. This is typically done by aligning the monitor’s mounting bracket with the arm’s VESA mount and then securing it in place with screws.
