I have dual 2407s, and, the stand itself is 14" high. This means at the highest I get about 5" from the desk to the bottom of the monitor. What I need is another few inches. I don't want to buy one of those freakish dual monitor things, so I am looking for a single monitor solution that isn't ridiculously expensive that's maximum height (at the VESA plate)is around 16"-18".
