can monitor arms to face the opposite direction of the mounting clamp so I can mount on front of desk with monitors facing forward to user still?

I have mine mounted to the front of my desk and the monitors facing me (the user).

Yes they can swivel all the way around the center pole and be tightened down to face any direction

Maybe. There is a tendency for the tray to tip forward. If you mount the monitor so that the center of gravity is close to the pivot point you may be OK, especially if you really tighten the pivot bolt, but then you will not be able to adjust the angle without loosening the bolt. If you use a couple of strips of Velcro tape you should be able to prevent if from falling off.

I dont have experience with that, but if I were you, I would add some softer coushion (e.g. your old t-shirts/old mouse pads) between the clamp and the desk. Since glass is a quite stiff yet brittle material, it should support the mount+ monitors if you eliminate potential local stresses on the desk surface.

Yes, it can be done. I have three, one of which I use with the arms to hold my MacBook Pro and chilling pad. The other two actually do hold monitors which didn't have mounting holes. One monitor is over 9lbs and also has an additional arm extension. The two support fleets used to hold the laptop from sliding off are adjustable and rotate, they can extend outward up 15", which can take hold of your monitor sides or corners. The base of the tray also can swivel to a position and be locked. I did also utilize all the self adhesive grip pads they provide, and even put some on the support cradle arms. You can see more detailed pics from Ergotron's site on the back and such. Hope this helps. Yes, it can be done. I have three, one of which I use with the arms to hold my MacBook Pro and chilling pad.

The key is that it needs to be centered. You can't indiscriminately shift the monitors to the forward angle you want--the center of gravity must still be over the stand itself. This applies to any stand, unless the stand itself is hard-mounted to the desk, in which case the angles that can be used are much better.

Yes, you could. The ease in which you could do so depends on how much space you have to move the arm. The arm has 2 joints. Each has 360 degree rotation capability. I have a very narrow desk and a very large monitor, so it would take a bit of adjustment for me, but no more than 30 seconds to make it visible to another person.

The wrist joints on the mount arm permit rotating the monitors from landscape to portrait (clockwise or counter-clockwise) The arms do not have individual height adjustments, so if you want 1 landscape and 1 portrait, their heights relative to each other will be fixed and determined by the particulars of the monitors and where their vesa mount holes are located

Yes, the monitor extension arms can be positioned all the way down to the top of the cone on the vertical support pole. There's a thumb screw on the back that loosens/tightens the round clamp on the extension arms around the vertical pole.

I have a monitor stand clipped to the side. There's a lip there and it clamps fine. The back and front have more room to clamp as there is nothing blocking it. So, yes.

yes, but you have to have sufficient overhang for the clamp to seat properly. I had to cut a hole in the side of the desk (no prob fort me because the desk was against a wall) to allow the clamp to seat correctly.

Yes you can. The two outer mounting brackets can slide along the arms. So you can slide them in until the monitors meet.

Sure. The arms pivot on a center post and have about 225 degrees of usable motion. The size of the monitors limit the minimum angle that is usable. I have two 23" monitors attached at the very ends of the arms using about 160 degrees. That provides a pretty good viewing angle for both monitors.

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.

The Arm's max tension is reached right around the 30# mark, much over that and they likely wont be able to hold the monitor in the position desired. Beyond that, these particular arm's really don't have that good of a vertical range for a monitor of that size leaving you with little room for adjustment - and you certain wouldn't be able to rotate the monitor without having the arm mounted to the desk.s

I am using this VESA compatible mount: VIVO Single LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Fully Adjustable/Tilt/Articulating for 1 Screen up to 27" (STAND-V001) The holes line up fine with the monitor and the mount arm supports the weight of the monitor without any issues.

I don't see why not so long as the monitors are within the weight limit of the mount it should make no difference which way they hang. The arms can be inserted to the pole both ways (uses two allen screws to permanently attach to the pole).

They do not adjust/slide horizontally along the arms. You can adjust the angle of the monitor and the arm separately.
