Its amazing for instance if its facing south but you want to turn it a different direction now face north. Then you know think about direction wonder why you haven't before. If you are confused check with the sun carry a compass to help you along.
The stand is perfect for me. I now look directly at my 23" monitor rather than lowering my head to view it. Also the stand has provided a good place to keep my stapler magnifying glass and pocket calculator.
I had to add a monitor to my already over used desk. I didn't want to lount the monitor to the wall so this was perfect. Gave me the clearance I needed and left room underneath for a keyboard and mouse storage.
