Once the back side is mounted on the wall (or some surface), can the hex bolt be used to raise or lower (an inch+/-) the monitor relative to the wall?

I do not think so, this mount sits so close to the wall it is difficult to get behind it to do anything, in fact I had to use spacers in order for it to swivel and tilt. Check out Video Secure (also from Amazon) mounts, I have one in my kitchen that sits out a little bit farther and you can make some minor adjustments that meet your requirements.

Been a while since I installed this mount, but as I recall there is no up/down adjustment once it is installed.

There are no mounting pads or holes on the back of the monitor to mount it to a wall. You might be able to improvise something, but it doesn't come with anything that would help you along.

I had issues with my 27", but that was because the hex bolt wasn't completely tight. You need to tighten up the hex bolt once you've figured out what position you want to lock it in. That said, it seems the downside of this stand is that for heavier screens, the more you tighten the hex bolts, the less flexibility you are given to readjust them without messing with the bolts (especially with heavier screens).

There is a ridge at the back that is several inches high. Don't know if that would be enough for a clamp or not because I'm not familiar with a clamp type monitor.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

I believe so, if you can mount the plate that holds the monitor, which you should be able to by drilling 2-3 holes to be screwed into wall (sheet rock anchors should suffice since the monitor is very light).

I don't see an obvious way of connecting the monitor to a wall mount. The mount provided is relatively small and takes up very little space.

I used it to mount my 23" computer monitor to the wall. It worked great and was very sturdy. I would say it mounts as close to the wall as possible. If you want to mount your monitor to the wall I would say you will not be disappointed with this product.

Donald, unlike some monitors and LCD TV/screens it is obviously not designed to do that, since it doesn't have the standard mounting holes. This is an excellent touchscreen monitor at a good price and I have been pleased with the performance, but the stand and mounting options are very poor. In addition to no wall mount capabilities, the stand is fixed....you can't tilt it forward or back to change the viewing angle.

The answer depends on the monitor you are using. The specific measurements for the mount can be found here. http://www.atdec.com/SiteMedia/w3svc1068/Uploads/Documents/Visidec%20VFS-DH%20Technical%20specs.pdfI have used this twice. In one circumstance an additional monitor lift was used to get the desired height.

Examining the back of the monitor, there seems to be no way to adjust the height. You can adjust the tilt up and down a little bit, but not very much. Don't see any reason you couldn't put it on top of material that would raise it UP to a height you'd like, but the only way to lower it would be to remove the stand that came with it and jury rig it some way- being careful not to get it in an unstable situation that would call it to fall over.

You can very easily move it back and forth with ease. We have three of these placed with 27" monitors and they are frequently moved from against the wall to pulled out fully extended.

The stand for it is adjustable and could be wall mounted. That would allow the monitor to then be attached to the stand. I don't think it is possible to mount the monitor to the wall without using the stand.

I was able to line up 1 set of vertical mounting holes on a wall stud and used 4" lag bolts. It's also on the side of a closet, so the location might discourage prying efforts.

If you look at the product picture, the main shaft that the articulating joints are on is adjustable, you can lower it right down to the base. you need to take into effect where the VESA mounting points on the monitor is also, some monitors have a dead center mounting point, some have it in the center but 1/4th of the way from the top.

I myself have not had to do such a thing, but, if I had to raise the monitor, then I would get something to fit under the base to make the monitor higher, like a box or piece of wood or custom make something to fit under.

I think that by any definition the monitor can easily be moved around. During installation you should adjust the spring tension to adjust for your monitor weight. That is pretty easy to do because it is just a matter of turning a screw. Once you have the tension adjusted you can easily move the monitor up/down in/out left/right with one hand. The tilting mechanism is a little less easy depending on the size/weight of your monitor. I have 2 of these arms at my desk, one with a 27" monitor and the other with 12" Cintiq. The smaller/lighter Cintiq is a little harder to maneuver, but I still would not call it hard. The tilting control just seems to be friction based, so a smaller monitor has less leverage and heft to overcome the friction.
