The height of the monitor has been no problem for me. It sits on my desk, on its stand, and is at eye level. Im a normal height and sitting straight up. I don't have any way of measuring it, but I believe it is taller than 18.2 inches with the stand. I have not used the tilt function since the screen is so large and it is likely not needed. It sits naturally with a just slightly reclined posture so it has a larger viewing angle from straight on or just above.

It is 18.5 inches from the base of the stand to the top of the monitor, the tilt does work, I use it on a VESA mount though.

I'm not sure what you mean about the height being a problem or not. The tilt mechanism does work and I did think it was needed to get just the right angle (personal preference).

The tilt mechanism does work, in my original post i said that it doesn't, but it does and I've since corrected it. You just have to hold the base and then move the monitor.As to the height, I just measured it and it looks to be almost exactly 18.5 inches. There is no way to adjust the height up or down that I can see.

were you able to get the three monitors all level to each other, or is the middle monitor slightly higher then the far right and far left monitors? I am having the same problem, they are not flush to each others height.

Does the monitor have a base that is smaller than 27 inches? The rear of the work area platform is tapered, so if the monitor is free-standing along its entire width, then I would be concerned about stability. If the monitor has a base and is supported by on a stand it should be okay. You might want some sticky rubber pads to keep the base from sliding around on the work surface though.

Yes, the is the ability to adjust the monitors both horizontally and vertically. The vertical "tilt" is probably around 15 degrees or so, which seems more than adequate. Having a second monitor above the lower does not seem to be an issue. I tilt the upper monitors downwards a bit and have no problems. I have 2 of these units due to limited horizontal footprint of my computer desk, so 4 27 in monitors.

I'm overseas at the moment so I can't give you an exact measurement, mine at present are set between 4 and 6 inches from the bottom of the monitors and the top of my desk. I also think you can adjust the height on the center post (which the two monitors pivot on) I will have to confirm to be sure. If time is not an issue for you and you can wait a couple of weeks I can happily check it out for you.

It's pretty easy to adjust, if your just talking about tilting the monitor up and down. To actually change the height of the monitor, you would have to learn a screw and tighten again at the desired height.

Return it if you still can. That's most of buyers do, including myself. Don't exchange a new one since the problem exists in almost all B350 monitors (as far as I know, every one has exactly same problem. Some shows early, others later). Besides, monitor neck (stand) is made of plastic. 27inch is too heavy for plastic. I returned my B350 and got a 24inch ASUS and 100% of its stand is made of metal. Also, take it as a lesson. NO MORE SAMSUNG! Plasticky electronic products never last.

In my environment the viewing height is too high at about 3' from the ground. Sitting in the couch 12' away I had to look upward at the screen (56" model). Although I did not see any issues with the picture quality it was annoying to look upward. My solution was to place a thick book under the rear of the set, thus tilting the entire unit forward. (be careful not too much). tilting the unit made a big difference in viewing comfort

You're welcome! I love this monitor. I've bought two already and might be purchasing another one. :)

We've sold quite a few of these units, and in setting them up, there has never been an obvious tilt of the bottom toward the viewer. You might want to double-check that your screws and stand neck were installed correctly. Good luck!

Tha monitor does tilt forward or upwards. I wasen't able to adjust it up or down for the height I needed so I got a 4 inch printer/monitor stand

I have six 24 inch monitors on the mount. I have the lowest monitors 3 1/4 inches from the desk but I could lower it or raise it by an inch of required. It's price is low so I was worried about it being wobbly as well, but it is not. I'm happy with it still after about 6 months.

The mount is for monitors up to 27". Some monitors have rather large bezel extensions, particularly along the bottom edge and, if you're already up against the mount's limits, it could get dodgy. Looking online at a photo of a Samsung SyncMaster LS27A850DS 27" monitor, it appears that the bezel dimensions are reasonably modest so I would be surprised if you have a problem with fit. If you do, the clamp opening is quite large and you can buy yourself as much as 2" more height (depending on your desktop's thickness) by shimming the mount. With that proviso, there's probably no 27" monitor that the mount couldn't accommodate. The mount is for monitors up to 27".

I think the manual wins on a very dubious technicality: it tilts about 2 degrees forward or backward, the snaps back to where it was. If there's any way to lock in this tiny angle of tilt, I haven't found it. The height adjustment (doesn't) work in precisely the same way.

I am currently using a 22" monitor and a 13" monitor in addition to a laptop. I have the 22 raised so the bottom of it sits slightly higher than my printer which gives me room for my 17" laptop in front of it and the 13" just to the right. There is plenty of room if you get creative in the configuration. I like this because I look straight ahead and the 22" is at eye level while seated.

The height adjustments, measured from my desk to the bottom edge of monitor, go from 1 3/4" to 6 7/8" (4.4 cm to 17.5 cm). I found that when pivoting the monitor for portrait viewing, it needs to be tilted outwards otherwise the corner will hit the desk.

Truthfully Im 100% sure what the issue is with your monitor it is the 27" correct,and when you talk about start you mean when the computer starts up rite?? Well I know for sure my monitor {when I sleep or turn off the computer a red led starts to blink on the lower rite of the computer} that lets you know the monitor is working normal...also try different cables I run mine mostly on HDMI hope that helps I haven't ran in to this issue as of yet lol.
