  • Tilt: Tilt the monitor screen up or down from +45° to -30° to reduce glare and optimize viewing angle.
  • Swivel: Swivel the monitor left or right up to 90° in either direction for collaborative viewing or to adjust your personal viewing angle.

Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

If the monitor does not stay at the desired height or is too difficult to move, you may need to adjust the gas spring tension. Use the provided Allen wrench to turn the adjustment screw located on the arm. Turn clockwise to increase tension (for heavier monitors) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (for lighter monitors).
