      use the screws that was attaching the monitor to it's original stand..

      don't remember if mine came with the screws or not.

        There are only two screws on each monitor and there not the same size needed for the stand.

          I've got a 4-way ergotron setup, and it came with 4 thumbscrews for each of the monitor mounts. I wouldn't return it; just call them and I'm sure they'll send 'em to you.

          Cheers

            Don't they sell screws where you live? seems like it would cost more in shipping fees than it would be to just go to a screw place and buy some..

              man those things are about half what they used to cost..


              according to the manual pdf, it should have come with the screws.

                  I paid $150US+$30US to ship it to Montreal. I can't imagine someone would want to pay twice as much for such a thing!

                    tell them to overnight the missing screws to you at their cost. they will.

                                      I just found out that the Ergotron is no good for my Benq monitors. There no place on the back of my monitors to fasten the stand.

                                            according to the spec, they're vesa 100x100... which is exactly what my viewsonics are... so the ergotron should work fine.

                                              The holes on the stand are 4" apart from one another while those on my monitor are 5" apart! They don't fit.

                                              Can I see a picture of the back of your setup?

                                                There are two VESA "standards" -- 100mm and 75mm (I think; maybe it's 80mm). Anyway, the stand should have come with little adapter plates (and screws for them!). Mind did. Sounds like you got a pretty incomplete kit.

                                                    Yeah I got an incomplete set with missing screws and the 100mm plates. I guess the custom forgot to put back it in when they opened the box. I'm waiting for these part to arrive....
