So after I've had this for a while, I took the monitor off (replaced for warranty) and found that the screws had pulled the back part of the monitor plastic forward and warped the VESA mount area. This caused the release button on the monitor to stop working and it will now never work on it's original stand. The 100x100 VESA mount plate doesn't fit in the back of most computer monitors, it will go over top, but will leave a space in between, so when you tighten those screws it will start warping the monitor back towards the plate! The plate needs to be 4.75" or less wide to fit in the square cavity of most monitors, and it's actually 5.25" wide! The description says "LCD/Plasma/LED", but it should specify that it's only compatible for TVs, NOT computer monitors! I'm purchasing a 75mm to 100mm adapter that will fit inside my square monitor cavity so that I can safely mount this again. The stand is very sturdy and built well, but not compatible with computer monitors!
