Is it possible to remove one of the two sets of arms to make this a very tall dual monitor stand rather than a quad monitor stand?

Short answer is yes. The device can have the second set of arms removed to reconfigure the orientation of the first set of dual arms. Caution is needed as the reassembly may not be so easy if the plastic shims in the pivot/hub are deformed in someway. I managed but wanted to point out the challenge and encourage to be careful in aligning various parts in the rebuild.

Yes, absolutely! Each set of two arms slides over the vertical post, so you can simply use just one of the two sets of arms if you only have two monitors.
1631406
Absolutely! The lower and upper arms are independant of each other so you can leave a set off, I actually only have 1 set of arms on right now myself!

Why not just put monitors on the top two mount arms, and fold the bottom two arms back, out of the way? No modifications necessary.
1631408
Absolutely. The arms are held on to the post by brackets. Just don't put the second arm on when you put it together.
1631409
Yes... You can do that... every dual monitor arm is independent and you can set it at a specific height....

No. There is two arms each with a fixed center position and two adjustable outside monitors made to stack 3 monitors above 3 monitors. You can do what I did and use 3 on top and two on the bottom ( using only the 2 outside mounts pushed together )

Yes, you can remove it from the stand and attach it to a VESA mount using the following adapter (~$31): VESA Mount Adapter for Asus Monitors MX239H, MX259H, MX279H, and MX27AQ - by HumanCentric

Not suited for easy height adjustments. You will better of with a scissor type dual monitor arm.

There is no way to attach it to the stand. I don't ever move it off. I agree with the earlier response to simply move the monitor down

No, the stand is too short for vertical use. The stand has a custom bracket that only goes on in the normal orientation. However, the are standard mounting threads in back of the monitor, you can use a custom stand.

The wrist joints on the mount arm permit rotating the monitors from landscape to portrait (clockwise or counter-clockwise) The arms do not have individual height adjustments, so if you want 1 landscape and 1 portrait, their heights relative to each other will be fixed and determined by the particulars of the monitors and where their vesa mount holes are located

could assemble this w/out using the shelves above/to the right of the monitor? thus increasing the overall size/area on the top.

Yes you can.It is very simple ,You don't have to remove the 2 arms,just remove the 2 cotterpins on the bottom of each arm, That's all you need to do

If by "portrait arrangement" you mean to rotate both monitors so they are taller than they are wide, and then put them side-by-side the answer is NO, you cannot do that; because you cannot stack them. The device first creates a combined display of the monitors side-by-side and you can rotate that combined display to portrait so that you have a very very tall display. Example: if you have two displays that are 1920x1080, you can make a combined side-by-side display that is 3840x1080 or 1080x3840 (portrait), but you cannot have a combined stacked display that is 1920x2160 or 2160x1920 (portrait).

Honestly, I'm not sure. Four of my monitors are on dual vertical stands using the VESA mount. Never tried the stock stand.

Yes you can. In fact, I have one set up just like this using a mounting arm for the monitor. This rig has lots of attachment points for just about any accessory you can think of.

Yes, it can be removed from stand, but I will tell you something, you shouldn't mount it on wall because the monitor is fragile, and if for some reason you drop it you just wasted 300 bucks.

I think you are talking about the stand arm from the back of the monitor. I looked at it and couldn't figure it out. Looks like you have to take apart the entire screen to remove that arm.

Yes, it can be done. I have three, one of which I use with the arms to hold my MacBook Pro and chilling pad. The other two actually do hold monitors which didn't have mounting holes. One monitor is over 9lbs and also has an additional arm extension. The two support fleets used to hold the laptop from sliding off are adjustable and rotate, they can extend outward up 15", which can take hold of your monitor sides or corners. The base of the tray also can swivel to a position and be locked. I did also utilize all the self adhesive grip pads they provide, and even put some on the support cradle arms. You can see more detailed pics from Ergotron's site on the back and such. Hope this helps.

You could do that but there is no stand to suppor it, the monitor does not rotate, it has no Vesa mount. Unless you make it lean against a wall it is unstable.

So far, I cannot find a way to remove the arm. There is little to no documentation that comes with the unit, and not a whole lot about it online. I basically have mine (3 of them) VESA mounted but with the rear arm attached and the round stand attached.
