Operating and Adjustments

The MSI MPG MT201DR V2-Premium offers extensive adjustability for optimal viewing comfort and productivity.

Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

The gas spring mechanism allows for smooth and effortless height adjustments. If your monitor sags or is difficult to move up/down, adjust the gas spring tension:

• Locate the adjustment screw on the arm (often near the joint).
• Use the provided hex key to turn the screw: turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors.
• Adjust until the monitor stays at the desired height without drifting.

The gas spring system provides smooth and stable monitor positioning.

Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation

Customize your viewing angle with the following adjustments:

• Tilt: Adjust the monitor angle vertically (up to +50°/-20°).
• Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally (up to +90°/-90°).
• Rotation: Pivot the monitor from landscape to portrait orientation (up to +180°/-180°).
