I bought my MI-2781 a month ago love it and recommend it to my fellow engineers working from home. It is a great product for the price. I was concerned the weight of my two 24 DELL monitors would make the free standing V base front heavy and front tipsy. This has not been an issue. The moment arm distance from the center of the vertical post to the front fulcrum line of the V base is about 8 and the center of mass of my 2 monitors is about 5.5. See my attached diagram. It would be helpful if the Mount-It website would include the 8 forward moment arm length in their diagram.I did have an issue with the MI-2781A Installation Manual which I suspect is common for most Dell monitors. Step 5 of cannot be performed after step 4 because the VESA mount on the back of my Dell monitors is recessed about a quarter inch. In other words it uses a carpenter's mortise and tenon joint. This is common to most of the Dell monitors I have used. After the VESA compatible plate is attached to the monitor per step 4 there is simply not enough clearance to perform step 5. Instead I had to do the following.- undue step 4 (remove the plate from the back of my monitor) - perform step 5 (attach the 2 plates to the arms) - new step (lay both monitors face down on the floor) - perform step 4 (attach the VESA compatible plates to the back of the two monitors) - new step (lift and set the entire V-base assembly on my desk) - then continue with installation step 6.
