How to detach the stand and the base
1. Prepare the monitor and area.
Turn off the monitor and the power before unplugging 
the power cable. Turn off the computer before 
unplugging the monitor signal cable.

area on your desk and placing a soft item like a towel on 
the desk for padding, before laying the screen face down 
on a flat clean padded surface.

the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will

desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and 
controls.
