Abstract: A computer monitor stand is described having a platform for holding the computer monitor, a swivel piece and a base. The platform is coupled to the swivel piece. The swivel piece is coupled to the base. The base allows the swivel piece to rotate in a certain predetermined rotational angle. The swivel piece allows the platform to vary its angle of inclination. The platform is dynamically adjustable but still statically latching. The platform has a convexly curved bottom and a rack on that bottom; the bottom fits into a concavely curved top of the swivel piece. The concavely curved top includes a cantilevered pawl which engages the rack on the bottom of the platform.
