ViewSonic makes a wide variety of computer monitors. They have the standard monitors as well as LCD flat screen monitors. When moving you want to pack up your monitor for travel. Packing the monitor requires removing the monitor base. Removing the ViewSonic monitor base depends on which monitor type you own. The standard monitors use a base that has a sub base attaching it to the monitor. The LCD flat screen on the other uses a base that locks onto a stem on the back of the monitor.
