8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your monitor mount, refer to the common problems and solutions below.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitors are not level | Uneven installation or VESA plate adjustment. | Loosen the level adjustment screw on the VESA plate, adjust the monitor to be level, and re-tighten. |
| Monitor sags or tilts down | Tilt tension screw is too loose or monitor is too heavy. | Tighten the tilt adjustment screw on the VESA plate. Ensure monitor weight is within specifications (max 18 lbs per arm). |
| Mount is unstable or wobbles | Desk clamp/grommet base is not tight enough or desk is not sturdy. | Re-tighten the desk clamp or grommet base. Ensure your desk is stable and within the specified thickness range. |
| Difficulty adjusting arm movement | Joints are too tight. | Slightly loosen the bolts at the arm joints using the appropriate Allen key. Do not loosen excessively. |
