Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor mount, refer to the following common solutions:
- Monitor Sags or Does Not Stay Up: The gas spring tension may be too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the tension by turning the adjustment screw towards the '+' direction using the provided Allen wrench.
- Monitor is Difficult to Move Down: The gas spring tension may be too high. Decrease the tension by turning the adjustment screw towards the '-' direction.
