Iiyama PLE2200WS-B VESA mount

[Gibbo]

I recently bought a Iiyama PLE2200WS-B monitor and wish to use the specified 100mm VESA mount.

There's nothing in the Iiyama manual about totally removing the stand now about what size screws the VESA mount rewuires, so I e-mailes helpdesk.uk@iiyama.com and they replied that the stand could not be removed!!!

So how is this monitor described has having a 100mm VESA mount?

The stand covers where the mount should be but if Iiyama are saying the stand cannot be removed then how can it be said to have a 100mm VESA mount?

Does anyone know how to access the VESA mount and remove the stand ?

I feel like Iiyama have mislead me on the product specification here and I've potentially wasted loads of wonga on a fancy mounting arm.

I have pointed out to Iiyama that their specification is effectively misrepresenting the product and have invited them (unless they can come up with an alternative) to test the law.

Shows you how to remove the stand in the instruction manual, page 5.

Are you also on about removing the stand 'arm' as well?

Someone must know

I was looking at it, and mine just looks like 2 screws to take the arm off.

I presume the VESA mount using the same mounting and therefore the same screws.

The VESA mount is behind the square panel.

Apparently there is an unpublished appendix to the manual which I have just received from Iiyama.

Undo the 2 screws and the stand will pull away from the body.
Slide the panel covering the VESA mount down and away from the unit.

So problem solved. - apart from the fact that i still don't know what length of M4 screws will be required.

But why do manufacturers miss pages from their manuals?

How odd !? Still happy it's solved now. Pop down to your hardware store and ask for a long M4 bolt and then dremel off to fit - can take some time to get it right, but still in the end it will work
