Bottomline: This VIVO VESA Adapter kit is an great, simple, well engineered product that's not hard to install (20 minutes in my case) and results in a very solid mount. Plus it cost $4 less than the primary competition and was shipped free, without state tax to Florida.
My Samsung 27" monitor lacks a VESA mount. So I needed an VESA adapter that would accommodate the curved back on this monitor for mating to my Halter Dual LCD Adjustable Monitor Stand [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MH9F5HK].
I studied the images and reviews of all alternatives products and then chose this mount, which, by the way, has sold 150+ units on EBay at the same price as Amazon. I bought mine here.
The exact arrangement of the four connector arms is adjustable and driven by the configuration of your specific monitor. The vital factors are (1) thickness of the monitor at it edges, (2) monitor's overall height, and (3) the location of the monitor's controls and cable connections. you need to verify those for your application. The images really help.
All the required hardware is included and neatly packaged. Product fit and finish are good. Just need a Phillips screwdriver for the four screws and a wrench or socket (7mm or 9/32") to snug down the 6 or 8 nuts (depending on your specific arrangement).
Installation is easy if you use the images and measurements to select the specific arm configuration that accommodates the vital factors in the paragraph above for your monitor. Installation took me 20 minutes and the resulting mount is very solid. Meanwhile, after a few days daily use and periodically thereafter, I plan to check the screws and nuts for continued snugness.
Overall: a great product, fair price, easy to install
