Can the base AND stem/stand of this monitor be removed? I'd like to store it in a flat position in a rack case.

i have the 24 inch, i a unsure about the 19.5. But, you can remove it, thats where the tilt feature is, and its a manual tilt, so it needed to bee removable.

Yea man it could be removed when I got this 4 days ago in the original package it was separated from the stand so if you don't like the base or want to remove it just remember it's already detached so don't worry I hope I provided you with an pleasable answers:)

There is no way to attach it to the stand. I don't ever move it off. I agree with the earlier response to simply move the monitor down

I can comment on the weight capability a bit. I attached an old Dell monitor (not quite flat screen) to the stand. I didn't know that they have standardized mounting holes on monitors and so it was quite easy to attach the monitor to the stand. But there is really no fine control knob on the stand to adjust the angle of the attached monitor, and so it sags from a pure vertical position, and I have to prop it up with stacked odds and ends. This is annoying, and I would have returned it for that reason but it had been quite a while since I received it and just decided to use it as is.

not at all. I keep the monitor at the very back edge of the stand. Stand is sturdy enough to handle it without tipping. And it's very easy to read.

The stand is hollow allowing the cables to go inside them. I like this stand and have used it for about a year or so. It is solid and allows positioning of the monitors. I have two 27" monitors which is the largest I would consider w this stand.

It is removable. I have it mounted to a multiple monitor stand and have removed the built-in stand.

Duct tape, of course! Seriously, if you don't have a VESA-ready monitor (threaded holes on the back), then your monitor was not designed or intended to be mounted on such a stand. In practical terms, you are limited to using the stand that your monitor came with.

If you're talking about the back casing if the monitor, you'll need to risk damaging the panel by using a screwdriver to pry the back casing open. Otherwise, I recommend getting a VESA mount to just bypass the entire ordeal

My Planar Monitor had holes where the original stand was attached. As another has suggested the monitor needs to be VESA compliant. There must be some type of stand that will have to be removed first before this one can be attached.

The stand stem was already attached to the screen. I screwed the stem into the base. It doesn't look like the stem is removable from the back of the monitor.

I have a 27" iMac on it. It's length is 26" so another such monitor will fit but with very little room to spare. The keyboard tray and drawers are simply bolted on and I don't see how removing them would compromise the integrity of the structure.

No. It can't be removed. Be careful not to drop it. I'll brake. It happened to me the 1st time. I bought it again because it works great and it comes with the stand. That's a great plus.

Sean, The Stand can be removed with a standard Phillips driver and It has the a mounting pattern that matches VESA MIS-D described here: http://www.ergotron.com/tabid/300/language/en-US/default.aspx the holes are recessed slightly and hidden beneath a plastic piece that is removed when taking off the stand.

Yes, the screen can be removed. Just keep in mind that it comes in four sections so once it's assembled it can't really be "folded" without disassembly.

It can be removed from the stand but the one you're putting it on should be the same.

The stand is removable. Here is what the back looks like without the stand: http://stuartconnections.com/products/Computers/Peripherals/LCDs/Dell_E176FP/CD/GRAPHICS/back.gif

I believe if you're mechanical inclined, it can be removed relatively easy. But I haven't tried and this is just an assessment after a quick look at the back of the monitor.
