I’ve been using the dual arms to fit a 34″ ultrawide and a 27″ monitor side by side. So far, perfect item for my needs. Moving monitors around is significantly easier. I’m very happy with my purchase!
Please let me know if you need a longer pole for either the single or dual monitors
I was hesitant on getting this because it’s half the price of the previous one I had and my new monitor is heavier, however full extended out like a straight arm it has 0 issues I can even apply more weight to the top and it doesn’t budge it’s a great product read the description and if your monitor fits into the size and weight recommendations don’t hesitate to get this
If you’re looking for a VESA mount monitor arm, buy this. Its an Ergotron that’ll last you a lifetime, support any reasonable monitor, give control and moveability and look good on the desk. Worth the expenditure any day of the week.
I was a bit unsure of this as it’s the Amazon basics brand, which I think does this stand a disservice. It appears this is a rebranded LG stand or made from the same or very similar spec and was previously being sold at a much higher cost. Really good stand, holds my LG ultra wide 34 with ease and is sturdy and also easy to move around. Getting it setup takes a little bit of work and the joints are stiff, but to be expected (I don’t want it to move around).
Great value, I just wish they wouldn’t slap Amazon basic logos on it (I sharpied them off).
At 80 there are certainly cheaper options out there, but if you own an LG monitor and are wary of compatibility woes, this is a great option.
This is literally an Ergotron LX with an Amazon logo on it but without the brand tax. I have used a few cheap monitor arms over the years and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is the only monitor mount you will ever need. I have mounted a Wacom Cintiq 22 and it holds this thing like a mother holding her child. I tried it out with my even heavier 32inch Asus monitor and it holds it up in any position exactly the same. If you are looking for an adjustable monitor arm don’t waste your time and money on cheap monitor arms and just get this one.
Definitely make sure you add a length of hardwood if you are using corregated cardboard desk (like most IKEA desks). This will spread the torque and stop the risk of a heavier monitor like mine (Alienware ultrawide 34″) from collapsing forward.
The smaller allen bolts are very stiff, and the included wrench is your run of the mill cheapy. I used my own which has added grip, so was able to loosen them without issue.
I have a heavy asus 32″ rog swift monotor that weighs 9kg … this rebranded ergotron LX monitor arm is a breeze to use not a great range of motion compared to its more expensive cousin .. but for less than 80 in the UK and thats 60+ less than the OEM ..this is a bargain … had decent range of adjustment … and the table clamp can be adjusted for depth … or bolted directly through your desk with hardware supplied … good item that should last for decades and will no doubt outlive many monitors!
Had a hard time deciding between the Dell MSA20 monitor arm and this for my 38″ ultrawide Dell monitor. Went with this one as it offered next day delivery and it was nearly half the price of the Dell monitor arm. Can’t compare it to the Dell but this one does the job without issues. It lifts and comfortably holds the monitor roughly 7.5 inches from the desk. No issues with forward and backward movements.
Spent more than a few minutes wondering why it wouldn’t support the weight of my monitor and speakers despite being within the stated supported weight range. Instructions were no help with only vague illustrations as to what the adjustments were for. Eventually figured out what need adjusting to change the vertical spring pressure and now all is well. Good product let down by poor instructions.
This is a superb arm, as others have already mentioned, this is basically a rebadged Ergotron LX arm – it’s heavy, well made and super sturdy, very easy install and if you’re stuck, there are plenty of installation videos on YouTube showing what adjustments you can/need to do. I’m using it on a 32 inch monitor and it’s holding up the monitor really well. It’s locked into position and will just stay there, no droop what so ever. The arm is on the expensive end of the spectrum but considering it’s an LX arm, well worth it.
Amazon can be a bit hit or miss with their basics line, but these are great quality and can be had for a very compelling price. I picked up 4 when they dipped below 40.
They are easy to assemble and very sturdy. I recall reading reports about stuck vesa plate tilt mechanisms, so I did check mine on delivery. While they were stiff, they were perfectly functional on all of my units.
The wall plate is mounted with 2 large bolts (included) that I had no issues with. Mounted one into wooden studwork, and the other 3 into a breezeblock wall (I did use more appropriate wall plugs for these, than the ones which were included). There are 4 smaller holes on the wall plate, in case you wanted to use 4 smaller screws/bolts instead of the 2 large bolts included.
The OEM that Amazon uses for these is Ergotron (at least for the units I received), so they are built to a much higher quality than other cheap monitor arms.
I’ve had this for just over a year now, I am using it for my 27″ Acer monitor which is listed as being 8KG. The adjustability is good and it seems very sturdy. I wasn’t able to use the main mounting points on the top and bottom of this product, so I am using the 4 smaller holes near the middle and then some other screws/mounts from a different mounting product (Corefix). There isn’t any mention of using these holes in the instructions so this would be done at your own risk, but mine hasn’t fallen off the wall yet.
I’m using this stand in my home office to give me a little more desktop space. The product is well made and feels very durable. It was pretty easy to setup although tightening the clamp to the desk was a little cumbersome, but nothing disastrous.
The stand itself stays in position and has a decent range of motion. I would like it to be able to go higher than it does, but it’s still pretty good and deserves its Premium description. The cable management is ok, but fiddly and I did find that some of the bolts needed some adjustment so that the display didn’t move after adjustment, notably the height, but other than that, a great product and one which I can recommend.
I purchased this as good condition, apart from the box having large white labels all over the product looks to be new, easy to install, that being said one of the fixing bolt/screws snapped off 3 quarters of the way in, luckily I had only drilled the one hole which is now hidden behind the bracket, my 32inch curved Samsung is perfect, it hadn’t tilted down unlike with some brackets claiming to hold 8kg weight, my monitors are just over 6kg, I purchased another bracket and recommended to anyone.
If you look at the photo attached my ergotron is holding my current monitor, while the unused arm (just for demonstration purposes) is this amazon product. (Just waiting on the new LG hdmi 2.1 screen to attach it to lol)
Very Sturdy very great monitor arm.
Much to what I saw one person say, this product does allow for screen tilting. Not too much, 5o forward but a large 70o backwards. This is exactly like the Ergotron LX as like others have said, just chrome as opposed to brushed silver.
If you’re going for a full range of motion with these, you need ample space behind your desk. I just measured and they need to be 25cm from the wall behind. Mine was a pain to set up since they were so stiff, but I realised that its because they support the weight of the monitor. Once you eventually get them hooked up and use the allen keys to adjust the resistance they’re good. I have 2 different monitors and use them off center as I primarily use monitor one to play games, so I bought 2 of the indivual arms rather than the double. They are expensive I feel, but the build quality is quite good and I would say worth the money.
Good monitor stand with good range of motions. Metal construction is solid and it took me 10 minutes to mount it on the wall and now I have my desk back.
If you have limited space or you wod lime the monitor to go close to the wall.. I would recommend mounting the bracket at an offset as the swivelling mechanism will not go straight back so the monitor is skewed from the centre of the desk if pushed fully back (in the case where ypou mount it to wall in the centre of the table.)
Very well made, solid piece of kit that is built to last, with nice cable management to give a clean desk.
I had problem with one arm – tension could not be adjusted – but Amazon quickly sent me a replacment
Points to note:
1) I had hoped to mount this near to a wall – but it really limits placment of screens.
Luckily I have a window along wall, so was able to relocate on my desk, in order to get full range of movement. I would say min 20-30 cm of freespace at back to use effectively and align screens as required ( I have 2 dell 25″ screens).
2) Also, I was worried as my desk has metal support beam underneath giving a depth of 75mm about whether G-clamp would fit and I didnt want to be drillling cutouts. Tip I flipped bottom of clamp upside down and it works fine!!
This is basically ergotron equivalent for 70 to 80 less which was my other option.
High recommended
Ideally you will want to bolt this in place almost directly behind where you will normally have your monitor. If you can’t do this, it may be hard to get the ideal monitor position/height. If you have a plasterboard wall, I would recommend only installing directly onto a stud (wood baton). The forces and weight combined will likely mean it will get pulled out of the wall if it is in the middle of a plasterboard wall.
Before you install you will need a 10mm masonry drill bit (for a brick wall), a spirit level and a socket wrench – I do not recommend trying to install without the socket wrench!
Finally, you have to drill a 80mm deep hole, so bear that in mind. You will need to get these as straight as you can – if you can get a drill guide (these are available online) that will help.
I don’t know why this is almost 100. It’s good, but that price… I have some 20 wall mounts that are almost as good.
They should include some proper screws and plugs with this for the price too…
Due to the above, I used some spare screws with 10mm hex heads, but the 10mm socket fouls on the wall mount as you screw it tight so that was fun… not.
Buy some philips screws if you’re purchasing this!
This product is really fantastic considering the price. I’ve seen other arm stands on the internet that don’t look anything near as sturdy as this one.
I have an MSI Optix MAG341CQ which is a large and heavy 34inch ultrawidescreen monitor. The stands holds it effortlessly and allows for a full range of motion when moving it around. I keep my monitor in a neutral position when working at my desk, but then I like to move it around for watching movies or working out etc and the stand allows for this with complete ease. I will note for anyone with an MSI monitor, they don’t come with the required VESA bracket for this stand so you’ll have to buy that seperately. Most other monitors come with them, just MSI seem not to.
Installation was a little tricky due to the size of my monitor, but I got there eventually and once it’s on, you shouldn’t have to adjust it much apart from tightening a few of the screws to keep it secure. Some of the tightening points are a little fiddly to get to.
Overall, great product, built well and does the job perfectly. I can’t imagine going back to a conventional monitor stand after using this.
Bought this for my OMEN X35 which is a 35inch ultrawide monitor, i will eventually add a second smaller monitor to the side so i got the duel arm stand.
So far it seems to hold it no problem, moving the screen is easy and it makes my desk look nicer. no arguments here its a good stand.
I am a bit worried about my desk underneath where it holds onto, seems like alot of pressure to put on such a small space.
I’ve been using this for about three weeks now, in combination with the laptop tray from the same range. It’s attached to the wall, fully extended, and there’s a 4.8kg ASUS ROG G703GI-E5005R gaming laptop sitting on it, which it’s handling with no problem at all.
The actual unit is sturdy, and well made, and like a previous reviewer, I think it’s actually a rebadged Ergotron LX, which is considerably more expensive. Even with the beast of a laptop sitting on it, it’s not showing any signs of moving and the wall mount is holding firm. I’m happy to trust it with a 2K laptop, so that says something.
It took about ten minutes to get assembled and attached, and the instructions weren’t really needed – which is good, because they are the weak point for me, as they’re in pictograms rather than actual words, and I hate those!
Overall, a really good unit, and despite it being part of the Basics range, in reality it’s anything but. Definitely recommended.
The product is great and can be configured in any way. I’m using it for my 32-inch Samsung 4k monitor. Since it is a bit heavy, the monitor arm kept dropping so I was furious at first. If I had read the manual carefully I wouldn’t have missed the part where the vertical adjustment was described. Embarrassing for me, they pointed out the vertical adjustment part, but I could swear, that part was not there when I had a glance at it. So if it’s not working for you just like in some Youtube channels, don’t panic, just read the manual again and again or call amazon support.
I would recommend this to anyone because it is much cheaper than its competitors with similar features and quality.
Big wins:
* Mostly easy maneuverability
* Less clutter on desk / more space
Downsides:
* Really does need quite a bit of space at the back
* Tilt forward / back is surprisingly stiff – my new 4k creaks a bit when doing it.
I was hoping that the wide split needed by both a 27″ and 30″ would mean I wouldn’t need that much space behind my desk. However with only about 4″ behind my desk, the closest I can get the monitors is a 3″ gap between them. Still happy, but not ideal. If you really want an ideal setup, two separate monitor arms might be better I think – then even with limited space behind you could swing the arm all the way to one side.
I bought this because my monitors default stand took up a fair bit of space on my desk, I ordered this in hopes of increasing the free space on my desk.
The stand had saved space on my desk and holds my monitor well (I was initially worried it might not have been able to) this is the monitor I use [ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017U8Z61W ]
Edit: A small part of me was worried that the mount might not be able to hold my monitor stably and keep it up as long as it has managed to, but it holds it exceptionally well and based on how its fared so far I have no worries about it. I would definitely recommend this.
One thing to note though is that if your desk is against a wall this will give you problems: The arms need room to hang over the back of your desk to get your monitors in the right position if you have larger monitors. If this is you (and I found this) then you might be better buying two individual stands as the arms can then be arrange in a more compact manner. It does cost a little more, but I do wish I had done this now.
Still, that should not detract from what is a really well made piece of kit and cheaper than the premium brands, despite being very similar to them. Just think about how the arms will fit in your space (see photos – excuse messy desk).
This wall mount is great for value. Do not be off put being an amazon basics item. I have a multi art purpose digital work station where i have included a HP monitor along with a WACOM 24 HD Cintiq on a Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arm (Wall mount) which I have bought previous. In order to upgrade the existing 360 degree monitor stand this was as a better option for durability rather than a fixed position monitor stand.
If you need the extra durability and play for use of a cintiq screen, The Ergontron seems to have a much sturdier design for safety and that it won’t fall off the wall and damage the monitor, whilst the Amazon Basics one is perfect for simple monitor use and to change position on your work station, but seems probably in hindsight not best used for a cintiq because of the upgraded strength mount of the ergotron.
I’m a bit gutted to say, but the amazon product is modular like the ergontron and cheaper than, but it is better quality than the Ergotron. Not only do they appear to be similar products- THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL except finish. You can actually use the ergontron extension arm ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006PYHYXG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) on the amazon basics mount to extend!!! Even the cable hideaway plastic strip/clips are exactly the same.
So all in all not suited for heavy durability for the big cintiqs, identical to the Ergontron products (except the mount fittings to the wall -amazon has less holes to mount to the wall surface), MODULAR like the ergotron mounts, BETTER quality than the ergotron for not only finish and no sharp aluminium cast edging (yes ergontron soft wires and a mettalic sharp mount do not mix and shred your cables inside of the arms).
Once again, in all great produc. Only wish is that amazon would sell some shorter arm extensions or extra arm extensions like ergotron do to create slightly more modular knuckle play.
My main concern was the weight of my monitor vs the max load for this arm and after setting it up and mounting the monitor to the arm I must admit I was relieved to see it hold the monitor just fine.
It has very good flexibility and allows me to even position the arm fully extended without any bending or drooping.
My one suggestion for better peace of mind would be to have a slightly wider clamp / base to connect to the desk as it does seem like a lot of force being applied to a small area but as I mentioned so far no issues. I’m writing this review a few weeks after installing it too so it’s been tested.
I can add a video / photos of this arm with my X34 if anyone thinks it would be helpful for them to make a decision whether or not to get it.
At the time of purchase the Ergotron is available on Amazon for 111.79 and this is 89.99. If you shop around you might find the Ergotron cheaper than on Amazon at a competing retailer, but I’m confident you wont find it cheaper than the AmazonBasics one which makes this a real bargain.
I used this with a HP ZR2440w (24″ 16:10 ~5KG) and I didn’t even have to adjust the tension settings, It was perfect right out of the box which suggests that the default position for the settings is around the middle of the min/max range. Everything is adjustable with the tools provided in the accessories package, so if you find the arm sagging or springing your monitor around there isnt anything to worry about.
Just like its bigger brother (the Ergo MX), the motion is smooth, build quality is excellent, accessories are exactly what’s required to mount this either via a bolt though the desk or the clamp for the edge of the desk. I used the clamp to allow me to adjust it at a later date.
A really nice feature of the VESA plate of these monitor arms is that you can pivot the monitor 90 degrees so that the monitor is Portrait. If you haven’t tried this before, I would highly recommend it for viewing documents and websites.
As this is an Ergo LX, there is a decent amount of additional accessories available such as laptop/tablet brackets, extra sections for longer reach arms (although the colour wont match) and VESA brackets that allow a mini PC or slim client to fit in-between the arm and the monitor.
I have previously used quite a few ‘budget’ monitor arms and have since learned my lesson. They are prone to breaking or not matching up to their specifications. Buy this and avoid any disappointment.
At first I used the enclosed grub screws to lock the displays in a horizontal position. Once I’d set everything up, it turned out the displays were a fraction off level and there was a small amount of rotational play. I took the locking screws out and used the rotation to get the monitors level.
Now that I have been using them for a couple of days I realise how good they are. My monitors are 3″ higher which makes a lot of difference to my posture when working. I have a lot more desk space too with them raised up.
You can either clamp it to your desk or use the supplied grommet mounting kit. And you will need 20-30cm clearance behind the base or you may find your displays is a bit too close for comfort. If you don’t have the space behind, an extension arm would probably solve that issue. As far as I can tell, this is an Ergotron LX (but half the price) so the extension arms you can buy for that will fit. Not sure you can buy them in black though…
The only snag I had was that one of my displays needs M4 8mm mounting bolts, and the supplied are M4 10mm so I had to pad it out with a few washers.
All required tools are included.
