To adjust your monitor's tilt tension:
•

Using Your Gateway Flat-panel Monitor
Insert a Phillips screwdriver through the access hole in the base and onto the height tension
screw (on the back of the stand, in the slot above the USB In port).
Adjust the height tension screw so the monitor stays in place when you let go. If the monitor
lowers by itself when you let go, turn the screw clockwise several complete turns. If the
monitor rises when you let go, turn the screw counter-clockwise several complete turns.
You may need to turn the screw several times before the tension is correct for your size
of monitor.
Adjust the height tension screw so the raising and lowering forces are equal. After the
forces are equalized, turn the tension screw clockwise two to four turns to slightly decrease
the lifting tension.
For optimum viewing, adjust the height so the top of the monitor is about 1 inch (2.54 cm)
below eye level.
Adjust the tilt tension screw (on the top of the stand) so the monitor stays in place when
you let go. If the monitor changes its tilt angle when you let go, turn the screw clockwise
one complete turn to increase the tension.
