I have a new winner. I set up my new monitor this morning, replacing a Samsung SD300 24". I dug out the old box to pack the Samsung back up and store in the closet for emergencies. I unscrew and remove the flat base which leaves the vertical part of the stand still firmly attached to the monitor. There's no release catch and I don't want to damage it by pulling too hard on it. Fortunately (I thought) the box still contained the quick setup sheet, and that had a section for removing the stand. No words though, just a picture showing the monitor, a hand gripping the base, and another hand with some arrows around it. Totally meaningless to me. So I had to search for the manual PDF to find the caption:

While holding the stand neck with one hand, pound the other fisted hand down onto the top of the stand base in the direction of the arrow to detach the stand base.

After a couple of tries it worked, but makes me wonder where Samsung is finding their engineers, and whether anyone anywhere has ever figured that out just from the picture?
