MDS214, Two P2414H, one portrait?
Recently purchased an MDS14 dual monitor stand with two 22'' P-series monitors (P2414H). The stand is normally intended for horizontal mounting, but having now actually experienced the two 24'' monitors side by side, I find that it is difficult to see the outer edges of the two screens. I'd like to change one of the screens to portrait mode. I've seen elsewhere on this and other forums that you can use the included VESA adapter plate to mount your monitor in the vertical orientation. However, I haven't been able to find instructions and am a little confused on how to go about it. I don't see an obvious way to attach the VESA plate to the monitor, which has grooves only on side, and no circular structure that matches the VESA plate. Could somebody briefly describe how the pieces are supposed to fit together, or link me to some additional information on how to do this?

I do not see a MDS214. I did find MDS14 here. The documentation does not mention turning the monitors into portrait mode. Read this thread.

DELL-Chris M. That was typo on my part, I stand corrected, it is MDS14- I appreciate your reply along with the attachment with instructions, which were not furnished in the box upon receipt of monitors, with exception of a one page diagram. My last question: IS there a another component/adapter (in addition to the VESA plate) that is required to make the monitor rotate, or just affix the VESA plate by itself to back of the monitor per directions??? It seems after attaching VESA, there still is Not a way for the monitor to rotate 180 degrees.... Hope this makes sense, any guidance is appreciated!

No idea. You need to ask the user on that thread I referenced.
