What is the best way to secure displays to the Varidesk Pro?I am considering drilling two holes on the back side of the platform.

I guess that's a good idea, as long as you can secure it nicelyto the monitor base. The folks I bought these for like to have the option of moving their monitors, so we never attached the monitors to the unit. However, they really love them.

The desk is largely a high-impact plastic. I would be hesitant to drill any holes in the desk. Really though, the balance on this is so superb, anti-slip surface effective, and the glide up and down so smooth, I can't imagine my 24" display falling off, unless your desk is inside a private jet or tour bus. I do have a foam back desk mat underneath, only because I had that left over from before acquiring the VariDesk.

I didn't secure my display to the Varidesk. I like having the option to move the monitor around on it. When I work seated, I want the monitor at the front of the desk. When I stand to work, I push the monitor to the back so I have room to also put my keyboard and mouse on the platform as well.

Do you mean for security or just so they don't move? I have not needed to secure them. They just stay on the shelf... Maybe some earthquake putty if you find it is slippery.If it is to prevent theft - I don't know.

Nope. I actually bought a mount from Monoprice for that purpose, and it works well (the monitor has great viewing angles).

I think it could work, but you may have to place them towards the front of the platform as it tapers towards the back. My two monitors are 19" and 17" across and sit towards the back with a little room to spare. The Varidesk Pro Plus is what I have and I love it. Just saw Erin's response...so there ya go! :)

My desk is only 23.5" deep and while the Pro Plus hangs off the front by ~4", it's only the keyboard tray that is hanging off. It hasn't affected the stability of the Varidesk.

As long add you're using matched monitors it shouldn't be an issue. The mounts all rotate.

I used l-hooks into wall anchors. i place one under each panel and one above the two center panels. Then tightened to snug after screen was in final position.

It doesn't have to be screwed down but it is highly recommended. If your monitors are on the large side (mine are 28 inches) then it would have to be screwed down. There will be no hole visible as long as the stand is in place.

I actually took one of my monitors apart, drilled 4 holes in the rear of the case, and used self tapping screws on one of my monitors that didn't have threaded holes. 2 years later, all is still well!

I'm sure that with a little creativity you could figure something out for that. But why would you want to? It's designed to mount on top center of the monitor and works quite well from there. As you move from center, it will work, but you will get progressively decreasing performance particularly when looking to the opposite side.

You can loop the cable around the leg or you can purchase another piece of equipment (as I have done) to secure it to the desk/table. I purchased the companion piece called a cable mount. I like my computer and what is on it, I would feel bad if I had the chance and I did not secure it and all I had to do was buy a couple pieces of hardware.Kensington K64613WW Desk Mount Cable Anchor

I made a custom stand for mine so that the work area was just about eye level. It has 4 mounting holes, so pretty much any stable platform that you can screw it down to will work.

There is a way to mount it with an adapter: VESA Mount Adapter for Viewsonic Monitors VX2770SMH-LED, VX2370SMH-LED, and VX2270SMH-LED - by HumanCentric

I have the Pro Plus and just measured the base - from end to end it is 24". It might be possible to squeeze it on your desk that is 19" deep because the base has two solid "legs" but I'd worry about the potential for tilt or being unbalanced. I suppose that if you had a method to attach it that it would be fine (think sticky tape not necessarily screws). I really like my Varidesk and am enjoying it more every day.

Hi Ronald. There are no mounting holes on the back of this monitor. It comes on the stand for a desk only. Thanks, Tasha

You could tilt the whole desk forward by placing a board or other lift support under the back two feet, but the keyboard tray and monitor tray will be tilted forward, and they would no longer be parallel with the surface upon which the Varidesk is placed.

Totally a bummer. Every flat screen monitor and TV I've seen has holes for mounting. I bought a dual monitor mount thinking I could mount it with my other monitor. There is definitely no way to mount this thing. I'm hoping it is an amazing monitor because it already has one strike against it.

What I did was just mount directly to the speaker placing the bracket over the keyhole mount. The added movement capabilities were worth it. Being able to aim the speakers where I want them is great. If you just want fixed placement,just use the keyhole. Hope this helps
