How to Mount Your PRISM+ Monitor onto a Monitor Arm and Adjust the Height
Before You Begin
Before installing your monitor, ensure you have:
A compatible VESA monitor arm
The correct mounting screws (and spacers if required)
The supplied Hex/Allen key
A stable desk that supports monitor arm installation
Important: Do not install monitor arms on tempered glass or glass tabletops, as this may damage the desk and pose a safety risk.
Steps

- 2
If your monitor is still attached to its original stand:
- Place the monitor face-down on a clean, soft surface.
- Remove the monitor stand.
- Expose the VESA mounting holes on the back of the monitor.
Keep the original stand and screws in case you need them in the future.
- 3
- Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of the monitor.
- If your monitor requires spacers, install them first.
- Secure the VESA plate using the supplied screws.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighten.
- 4
Carefully lift the monitor and attach the VESA plate to the monitor arm.
Once attached:
- Ensure the monitor locks securely into place.
- Tighten any safety or locking screws if required by your monitor arm.
Tip: It is recommended to have a second person assist when mounting larger monitors.
- 5
Support the monitor with one hand while adjusting the monitor arm.
Raise or lower the monitor until it reaches your preferred viewing height.
Once positioned:
- Tighten the arm's tension screw (usually located near the elbow or gas spring) using the supplied Hex key.
- Test whether the monitor remains in position after releasing it.
If the monitor slowly drops:
- Tighten the tension screw slightly.
If the monitor is difficult to move upward:
- Loosen the tension screw slightly.
Continue making small adjustments until the monitor moves smoothly and stays in position.
Safety Tips
