Mount-It! - Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount - Black

This took a long time to setup. I mounted a 34 inch ultrawide monitor. The weight of the monitor was 17 lbs, so it fit in spec with this mount. The difficulty came in setting the correct tension for the vertical screen vesa attachment. I had to tighten it while using pliers so that the nut did not slip. Eventually got it to work, but it took 2 people because the lock nut kept stripping. It has held up well since then. If you have a smaller monitor and it weighs less I don't imagine it being as much as a hindrance. This product has held up well for as long as I've had it. The cable management tunnel is a good addition.

This product performs quite well. It holds the monitor solidly in an impressive array of positions. I did run into a problem though, and even though this has more to do with the monitor (and I'll probably post this in a review there), I'll share it here. I have the 27" curved Samsung CRG5 series monitor, and while the holes are spaced fine for that monitor, the design of the back of that monitor makes it impossible to attach all 4 screws. I am fortunate enough to have an angle grinder that i used to take off the excess tabs around the screw hole, but if you don't have that ability, know that your monitor may not work with this mount. The attached pictures will explain this better. Also, it's too early to judge the longevity of the mount and the piston, but if anything goes wrong, I'll update the review.

We live in an RV with the tv built into a televator on the desk. I needed a solution that would fold away when done working, the drop back down to perfect viewing angle for work the next day. Introduce these mounts! They work perfectly! With full motion I am able to swing the monitors fully against the sides of the wall to watch movies, then drop them right back down for work. They were easy to assemble, cords stay in place in them, and easy to adjust. You won’t regret buying these. Just be cautious when working with them. They are fast strut style, so the will extend on their own if you compress them. The bottom swivel at the base isn’t a full 360 degree spin. If I’m guessing, I would say it’s about 345 degrees, but not a big deal. Still much more than most.

I've had great luck with the Mount-It brand for a tv mount and decided to give this a try for my monitor. Installation was easy, but do be mindful of how the instructions tell you to remove the cable tracks. I didn't pay attention and partly broke one but it still works. Being user error, I'm not complaining and just letting my mistake be your education. I was also pleasantly surprised at just how high and maneuverable this stand can go. Once set and tensioned properly, I can effortlessly move my monitor however I need, including being able to lift and turn it down to use my monitor's bias lighting as a work light when working on other projects on my desk. I know this may not apply to everyone, but was a great unexpected benefit of this arm.

This mount was life changing for me! Having a mounted monitor is a must especially for competitive gamers. Being able to adjust the height and how close I want my monitor to my eyes is amazing. I can’t see myself gaming without an arm now.
