Pros: Holds monitors up well. Metal is very sturdy. Can have different size monitors on each side.

Cons: Arms don't fully lock onto post, just clamp down. Base isn't as big as it should be. Adjusted one monitor and the entire stand with both 22" monitors almost went backwards. Both LCDs should be mounted in front of the base.

Overall Review: I had two 22" monitors mounted but decided to go with one of the original 22 and a 17. The second 22" sits on its stand. The height adjustment is enough that all 3 are lined up.

Pros: Holds my 2x 24" monitors just fine.

Cons: For some reason, and I haven't figured out why, but to get both monitors to be exactly level to the desk (which for all intents and purposes is a pretty flat surface), there ends up being a gap between the two monitors that is narrow at the top, and wide at the bottom. It's not that huge of a deal really, just annoying that I can't get the gap to go away without making the monitors no longer level.

Overall Review: I've had my stand for a long time now and never bothered to leave a review until some events just recently. I had moved a few months ago, and in the process, I lost all the mounting screws and the knobs for the back. I had all the other parts, just not those. So on a whim, I shoot off an email to Planar describing my problem and right away I had a response asking me to identify exactly which parts I needed. And just a few days after I responded, I had my replacement parts from Planar. Not only am I impressed with the turn around time on it, but also with the lack of runaround and script-reading you normally get from companies when trying to get replacements and whatnot. The Planar rep, Karen, got right to the point and handled my problem much faster than I expected.

Pros: This stand works great for my two Asus VE248H 24" monitors. I had no difficulty assembling the stand and mounting monitors by myself. I left the monitors on their factory bases, side by side, and mounted the VESA brackets on the back of the monitors. I moved the Planar stand in behind them, and attached them to it. Once I had everything tightened down, I removed the factory bases from both monitors.

Cons: One thing I found to dislike about this stand was that there were not any spacers to place between the VESA brackets and the monitors to protect metal-against-plastic scratches. The Asus VE248H monitors I used have a glossy plastic (read as: scratches show up easily) on the back side where the VESA mounts are located. I didn't want to mar my monitors, so I went to the nearest hardware store and found rubber washers in the plumbing department to use as spacers. Of course, this meant that I also had to purchase longer screws to mount the brackets as well. I spent about $15 in extra hardware so that the plastic on my monitors wouldn't get scratched (longer screws [x8], lock washers [x8], and rubber washers [x8]).

Overall Review: I guess the Planar logo on the base is a little bit ugly too, but not bad enough to call it a con.

Pros: +Well made, high qualikty +Easy adjustment of tilt and rotate after monitors installed +Uses little desk space, less than half vs having a stand under each monitor +Balances two HP ZR24W 24" monitors well +Works with monitors in mixed landscape/portrait mode +VESA mount of the stand is coupled to the arm with a pre-tensioned coil spring, which gives some resiliency and lets you adjust the monitor tilt and rotate by hand without loosening any hardware or fussing.

Cons: Doesn't damp vibration exceptionally well, so if there is a bump on your desk, or vibration in the floor, the monitors will shake a bit for a few seconds. This is because the monitors are suspended on the end of the two mounting arms with a pre-loaded coil spring assembly, to provide for easy micro-adjustement with no tools. In the end you have a mass on the end of a rigid but still very slightly flexible arm, coupled through a slightly springy mount and it will have some resonant frequency. Disturb it, and it oscillates a bit as it returns to its normal position. No way around this unless that structure is changed or the arm-to-monitor mount is damped with something vibration-absorbent.

Overall Review: If not for the vibration issue when my desk (a heavy Steelcase with 36 x 72" steel/formica top) is bumped, or even if I type hard, I'd give this 5 stars instead of 4. I'm going to try to dampen the springy coupling with some dense foam or bungees and see if I can make it better. This may be nit-picking to some people, so don't let this dissuade you from purchasing this otherwise excellent stand.

Pros: This is a very strong, very stable stand. It took only a few minutes to put together and I'm not worried at all about putting my expensive monitors on it.

Cons: Unfortunately it only has mounting holes for 100x100 or 75x75 VESA compatible monitors, and my Samsung monitor requires a 200x100 VESA mount, which meant that I had to buy a VESA adapter kit seperately.

Pros: Sturdy, very easy to adjust monitors once you get it set up

Cons: Hard to set up, could be taller I suppose

Overall Review: This stand is an excellent solution to the two monitor dilemma. It is really hard to set up by yourself though - with only one monitor on it is very unstable. I suggest laying your monitors face down on your bed or something soft and attaching the stand like that - then going vertical. This won't hold two bigger 24" monitors. I have a 23 and a 21 set up now, and it wouldn't hold two of my 23 inch. It is plenty strong, but the arms aren't long enough. Finally, if you move your monitor around a lot (LAN party etc) this may not be for you. Removing one monitor is a huge pain, and without two monitors you can't use this stand. Not that I deduct eggs for this - the stand does exactly what I expect it would.

Pros: Angles. That's my biggest reason for getting it. I sit on the floor and my monitors are above/just at my eye line and I needed a slightly downward angle to reduce the weird color distortion that comes from not viewing my monitors straight on. Screws on the back of the monitor arms have a neat little spring mechanism so the arms can be moved around. Very nice idea.

Cons: Weak instruction manual. Bare minimum information given. Good luck on adjusting height after everything is mounted. Kind of disappointed in the lack of V I can get with 2x VW246H 24" monitors (how far the monitors can be angled in towards each other). The arms have to be swung back as far as possible reducing the amount of V that can be achieved to almost a flat line.

Overall Review: Mounted 2x VW246H 24" monitors. If you plan on doing something similar, have a friend help you or be very dexterous. Helps to mount the first one in landscape and position it about halfway on the arm then mount the second to prevent the stand from tipping as easily. If you have any type of OCD, this will be a nightmare to align properly and center the monitors to the stand.

Pros: The construction is sturdy and very stable on the desk, even with 24" monitors. It fits my two Asus VS248H-P monitors perfectly and provides enough space to have the perfect cant angle between them. There are enough adjustment points to align the monitors vertically and flush horizontally. I am really happy with this stand; it clears up my desk a lot.

Cons: I wish the support ring clamped on to the central post or attached with a bolt into holes in the post. Instead, there's one small bolt that provides friction on the post. Also, the instructions are a little hard to understand, and they seem to indicate that you assemble the unit upright, which is not the best way to do it (see below).

Overall Review: There's enough vertical space to adjust the height of the monitors to my liking, with the tops of the screens at eye level. If you are very tall or want the center of the screens at eye level, then this stand may not work for you. Many of the other reviewers remarked that the stand takes two people to assemble, but this is only true if you try to assemble it and attach the monitors while the stand is upright. Don't do it that way! Assemble the stand upright by itself and approximately set the arms for height and angle but don't tighten them. Then put the monitors face down on a soft surface like a bed, and attach the stand to the monitors. Tighten the arms most of the way so that you can pick up the stand with the monitors and put it on the desk. Once it's in place, you can make further adjustments pretty easily, then tighten everything up.
