Why 16-inch Portable Monitors Need Special Stands

Why 16-inch Portable Monitors Need Special Stands

If you've invested in a 16-inch portable monitor like the ASUS MB16AC or ViewSonic VG1655, you've probably discovered a frustrating truth: regular tablet stands can't handle them.

The Physics Problem

A 16-inch monitor weighs 2-3x more than an iPad. When extended to viewing height, this creates a leverage problem that causes:

  • Constant wobbling during typing
  • Gradual sagging throughout the day
  • Complete tipping with slight bumps

Why Regular Stands Fail

Most tablet stands are designed for 10-13" devices weighing under 2 lbs. They use simple hinge mechanisms with 2-3 fixed positions. When you put a 16" monitor on them:

  • The base is too light (usually under 1 lb)
  • The arm can't handle the torque
  • The adjustment mechanism strips
