can this hold one monitor on its base or does it have to be clamped, if on base can its height be adjusted easily to switch between standing &amp; sitting

We have 2 24" monitors attached to the one that takes the dual monitors. It must be clamped to the front edge of a desk but then can be easily switched between sitting and standing.

I wouldn't recommend it! I don't think the hardware is sturdy enough to act as a pedestal sitting upright with the weight of a monitor. It was definitely designed to hang from something. I have a larger 22" monitor that I mounted to my desk using a different mount from a company called Mount-it that I purchased through Amazon. Here is the link to that product and it works very well mounting to a desk or any other flat surface. Mount-It!

the one I received had only two positions, high for 19" and low for 17" monitors. it is not clear in the description but the stand is not infinitely adjustable between high and low. fortunately for my, the low position worked for me for my 19" monitor.

The stand itself is only 30 inch high, the base is less than an inch so you can put one of those monitors (29inch) vertical.. but not two

Yes, it will support a single monitor. The brackets that hold the monitors can be taken off the mount, allowing you to install just one monitor and adjusting its height accordingly. Just make sure the monitor is not to heavy. The brackets holding each monitor is not able to support that much weight.

My screens are 19 and 14 pounds and it holds just fine at max extention (~2ft). However mine is mounted through a 1 inch mdf desktop with 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the desk. When I was using the clamp to decide where to permanently mount it, the arm was a little unstable and I did not feel comfortable leaving them mounted like that for any extended amount of time. The arm is definitely strong enough to hold both your monitors, it's more a question of how you plan on mounting it.In short; it will hold just fine if you don't use the clamp and have a good solid desktop.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

It would help to know the weight of said items, but I have 3 monitors on mine (2 on the main platform, 1 on the swinging arm) and it handles it just fine. Very stable, especially considering I move the side arm fairly often.

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.

I have mine connected to a duel monitor stand but I don't believe the base has height capabilities. For the money there are better monitors out there, when I complained about the color not even coming close to an old dell monitor of mine I was basically told this was dells bottom of the line monitor.

This will not sag, I promise! I have three 23" wide screen monitors horizontally with a normal bezel on mine and it is very stable. The adjustability of the outer arms are great as well. This whole thing is built like a tank.

I have a 20" monitor on mine. It handles it well. Probably could handle one slightly larger(maybe 22"?) There is a weight adjustment on the spring that allows for varying sizes/weights of monitors.

This can be used with a single monitor, just leave one of mounts off. Very sturdy unit.

You will have to lift the monitor on and eff each time. I just keep it at a comfortable standing height and keep a bar stool close by to sit on and still maintain my eye level. If you want something that more easy to switch several times a day, you will haev to get a push button operated one, that be more expensive.

Sure can. That's exactly how I'm using it now. Just fold the arms into themselves. I've got a single 27" monitor mounted right now.

yes, It is very versatile . I got three to make a triple monitor set up on my desk. One on each side and the back. I can turn my monitors in any direction as well as mount the stand upside down if chose to. I highly recommend.

I have tried it with three displays, once with flat TV and LCD Monitor - it was tippy with tv side. I currently have two 21" monitors on it and it is very stable. I would state that the base is very heavy and would need a sturdy desk. The stand does come with parts to mount into table without base. Never tried this method. My desk is actually an Ikea table and this table is sturdy enough.
