The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 configured to receive a left monitor, a center monitor, and a right monitor such that a right edge of said left monitor is flush with a left edge of said center monitor and a left edge of said right monitor is flush with a right edge of said center monitor. 3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said left portion and said right portion of said monitor arm assembly each include a slot configured to receive a bracket for attaching a monitor and wherein said bracket is horizontally slidable within said slot for adjusting a horizontal position of an attached monitor. 4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of said left and right portions are bent at angle of approximately 20 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane of said center portion to create a bow shape. 5. The apparatus as claims in claim 1 wherein said locking mechanism comprises a lever or button which, when actuated, allows said second frame portion to be moved relative to said first frame portion. 6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the base stand is an isolation transformer assembly stand for supporting an isolation transformer, the isolation transformer assembly stand balancing the weight of the monitors coupled with the monitor arm assembly. 7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 wherein an underside of the isolation transformer assembly stand is coupled with two front wheels and two rear wheels enabling movement of the assembly stand, further wherein at least the rear wheels comprise a locking mechanism for fixing position of the apparatus. 8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said monitor arm assembly is hollow, composed of aluminium, and includes a plurality of spacers configured to provide structural strength to said monitor arm assembly. 9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first frame portion is detachable from said base stand. 10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said base stand, first frame portion with second frame portion and coupling component, and said monitor arm assembly have weights of approximately 20 pounds, 35 pounds, and 12 pounds, respectively. 11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second frame portion is telescopically extendable within said first frame portion to a plurality of vertical positions between said first top vertical position and said second bottom vertical position. 12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said coupling component is vertically slidable within said channel to a plurality of vertical positions between said third top vertical position and said fourth bottom vertical position. 13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, transformable from a first collapsed configuration for storage and transport into a second operational configuration for receiving at least one monitor. 14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 wherein, when in said first collapsed configuration, said second frame portion is in said second bottom vertical position, said coupling component is in said fourth bottom vertical position, and said monitor arm assembly is removed from said coupling component or rotated within said coupling component such that a long axis of said monitor arm assembly is parallel to said second frame portion. 15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 wherein, when in said first collapsed configuration, said apparatus has a height of approximately 45.3 inches. 16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 wherein, when in said second operational configuration, said second frame portion is in said first top vertical position or any vertical position above said second bottom vertical position, said coupling component is in said third top vertical position or any vertical position above said fourth bottom vertical position, and said monitor arm assembly is rotated within said coupling component such that a long axis of said monitor arm assembly is perpendicular to said second frame portion. 17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 wherein, when in said second operational configuration, said apparatus has a height of approximately 62.1 inches. 18. A method of transforming a monitor stand from a first collapsed configuration into a second operation configuration, said method comprising the steps of: providing a monitor stand comprising: a base stand; a first frame portion having a top end and a bottom end coupled with the base stand; a second frame portion having a top end, a bottom end, and a channel extending from said top end to said bottom end, said second frame portion telescopically extendable from and into said top of said first frame portion from a first top vertical position to a second bottom vertical position and a plurality of vertical positions therebetween; a locking mechanism for fixing said second frame portion in a vertical position within said first frame portion; a coupling component vertically slidable within said channel from a third top vertical position to a fourth bottom vertical position and a plurality of vertical positions therebetween; a monitor arm assembly having a center portion, left end portion, right end portion and a peg extending from a rear surface of said center portion wherein a front surface of each of said portions is configured to fixedly receive a monitor, and said peg is configured to insert into said coupling component such that said monitor arm assembly is removably attachable to and rotatable within said coupling component;sliding the coupling component to the third top position or any other vertical position above said fourth bottom vertical position;releasing said locking mechanism;extending said second frame portion from said top end of said first frame portion to said first top vertical position or any other vertical position above said second bottom position;re-engaging said locking mechanism; androtating the monitor arm assembly into a horizontal position perpendicular to said second frame portion. 19.
