I do quite a bit of programming and research so there are a lot of times i'd really wish i can rotate my monitor on its side. Since my LCD stand is solid, i've been looking through the malls for a stand that'll attach to the 100x100 holes and let me rotate it at will. I recently noticed something tho.
My desk is kinda long and the legs are quite far apart, when i type really fast for extended periods (I average 80+ words per minute) i noticed that the monitor rocks just a tiny bit. When i had the 17" CRT it was pretty solid and heavy. But now that i've switched to LCD's (I've had two actually, Hanns-G 19" and a 22" AOC 2217) and i noticed their bases aren't exactly solid, kinda like putting a 5 pound weight on a meterstick, it vibrates like crazy at the slightest nudge. LCD's are too light to absorb the vibration, yet heavy enough their bases can barely hold them up.
If it's like this on a 3 inch stand, i can't help but wonder how bad it would be if i get a meter long table clamped stand and the vibration change from forward/back to up/down. Would it amplify the vibrations even more? Or are the stock bases that came with these monitors just crap?
