Trying to find replacement monitor base.. 2

[Thesuperiorone]

Hello all, I was given a Viewsonic P95f+ professional monitor. However, the base is missing, and I would like to get ahold of one to replace it so I can swivel it or whatever as needed.

I checked Viewsonic's site, but couldn't find anything that would help.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Do you have a VESA standard 80 mm or 100mm mounts on the back? They will be a square matrix of holes either 80 or 100 mm apart. Ergotron makes a great VESA mount, go to

(cheapest place) or eBay, but be careful. If you'd like, I have several spare stands, I can put one up on eBay for you.

Where would it tell me?

Firt I may have wrongly assumed this is a flat-panel LCD display. Is it?

If so, you would look on the back of the monitor, where the stand attaches. If it is a VESA standard then there will be four threaded holes an equal distance apart.

Please advise.

It's not a LCD. It's a flat-screen CRT..

Black one.

Call Viewsonic Tech Support and tell them you need to buy one.

The fact that a part is not listed does not mean it is not available. People break these things when moving, etc.

Viewsonic does indeed have the base for this model in stock (item C-BS-0303-0228, $29.75 + shipping) if you are in the US.

You will need to register just to look, but nothing too dramatic in the registration.

Another thought. Given the price tag of this item, you may be better off to look for a generic monitor tilt/swivel base at a good office supply store. Probably will have better luck at a locally owned establishment than a "big box".

Back in the day, these were fairly common. The old CRTs generaly did not come with this item. Since most monitors now come with a base, the generic bases are harder to find but are usually built better than the ones that come with the monitor. I would expect to pay $15-20.
