The Amazon Basics Single Monitor Stand offers two installation options: a clamp mount for desk edges and a plate mount for desks with a grommet hole.

4.1. Clamp Mount Installation

  4. Slide the upper arm onto the lower arm.
  5. Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the provided M4 x 10mm screws or thumb screws. The monitor should be VESA compatible (100 x 100mm or 75 x 75mm).
  6. Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the end of the upper arm. Ensure it clicks into place.

4.2. Plate Mount Installation
