When large-size LCD monitor is assembled to the stand, it puts the stand under greater loading. For example, when the LCD monitor stand is in a smaller forward-tilt angle, the stand structure bears less weight load. Conversely when the stand is adjusted to bigger forward-tilt angle, the entire stand structure is subject to greater weight load. Conventional LCD monitor stands are not designed to adapt to varying loading, therefore not having a structure to respond to different weight loads and unable to provide sturdy support when screen size and tilting angle change.
