No stress during assemble, arm is able to hold up my LG 32GQ950-B which weighs around 9.3kg. I often have the arm extended quite some way with no trouble. Can be stiff at first but use the manual to help with adjusting
Better than I expected — bought for 32″ Acer monitor (8kg). Very sturdy arm; monitor holds position well, and movement is smooth. Have tried horizontal and vertical orientations and both good.
othing to dislike about this apart from the price as i paid more for both of mine but just bad timing as they are now on sale, I bought one and liked it so much i purchased a second one, both being used with 32 inch 4k monitors would definitely buy again if i ever need another, I have used the clamp to fasten them to my desk with no issues at all. would recommend.
We now have more space on the desk, arm mount feels solid and smooth, however some plastic in certain areas, should hold my 32 dell QD oled that weights around 6kg, the arm mount should of been dispatched with a simple usb cable purely cause of the availability of this feature on the arm base but it did not and for the overall price.
I have had many monitor arms, I bought this one for my parent’s living room and it worked a treat, the finish is quite tidy and the construction is sturdy as you would hope and expect. Has typical conduits for wire tidying also.
I was looking for monitor arms that would be fairly flexible (as opposed to the more rigid “straight pole” one my smaller work monitor is on) and would hold the mighty, heavy chonkasaurus that is the 32″ Samsung Odyssey G7; this one had good reviews, and although it was a little more expensive than some others that claimed to hold the monitor’s weight, given the size of the thing I decided to go for the safer option in this.
The box arrived with a huge dent in the side, and half the contents were already unwrapped, so I suspect I might have gotten a returned one, which is a bit disappointing having paid full price for it “new” but everything seemed to be present, so on we went.
Assembly is quite straightforward. If you’re looking to install with a big monitor like this, I’d definitely try to get a friend to help – I managed to do it on my own, but it’s a nerve-wracking experience. However, the arm itself feels pretty sturdy and hefty, so I’m not worried it’s going to suddenly snap.
Most of the joints are fine – the gas-assisted lifting arm is really smooth and once I tweaked the tension with the supplied allan key, it works precisely how I would like. Raising and lowering the monitor easily.
The one exception – and this is the reason it lost a star in my rating – is the tilt mechanism. Having finally got it set strongly enough to hold the weight of this monitor, it tilts forward (down) easily if you push, which is good, but tilting back up is incredibly stiff, and requires a two-handed grip (top and bottom) of the monitor and is very jerky and so hard to get into a precise position. (Tip: go a bit further than you want, then use the easier down-tilt for finesse of position.) It makes an alarming creaking noise when you tilt it up, like the bolt is really struggling against friction, and slackening it doesn’t help because then it just tilts forward on its own and doesn’t support the monitor.
(Also, the bolt for the monitor tilt is so stiff to adjust that it actually wrecked the supplied allen key completely; I was fortunate to have one of my own in my toolbox which is a bit sturdier and was able to do the job, but beware of this.)
So on the whole, it’s a really good, sturdy, useful addition to your desk space. Just don’t expect a nice easy adjustment on the tilt if you have a monitor with any real weight to it, which is disappointing considering I paid a bit more specifically because this one was rated to deal with such a weight level.
Great monitor arm, i use it for my Samsung Odyssey G7 32 Inch monitor which weights 8.2kg and it holds nicely and super sturdy even if i move/shake my desk.
Very Impressed, had it 2 months now.
Was kind of dubious as to what the quality of this bracket would be like when I looked at it online.
Happy to say this is an awesome bracket — it is very good quality, sturdy and easy to adjust.
I use a 27inch monitor and it holds it no worries.
I would highly recommend this product to friends and family.
As above I’ve had mine since May 2021; still going strong, can’t recall assembling it but if it was a pain I’m sure I wouldn’t now be looking to purchase another for a friend.
I got mine for 40, it’s now up to 60 so will shop around but certainly not ruling another out for the extra 20.
I got this stand not knowing what to expect really. I wasn’t sure on the quality or strength. All of my doubts soon went when I set the stand up. It is very strong stand and I was very impressed with it!. It also give me much needed space on my desk as well. I highly recommend this stand if you need one as you won’t be disappointed at all.
Bought this for a 34″ ultrawide screen. It holds the weight perfectly and the base is wide enough that it gives me confidence that it’ll continue to hold it. Assembly was a little fiddly, and given the size of the monitor, I had to ask my wife’s help just in case it dropped, but in the end, it only took about 5 minutes. It has now been set up for a couple of days, and I have notice no drift or droop. Very pleased.
Changed to 5 stars because Invision customer support has been very good. It definitely is a good stand for our 32-inch monitors. We have so much desk space now we moved to arms.
I’m glad I came across this one – advertised as being suitable for monitors up to 49″ and very well priced.
It came today and I’ve installed it – the instructions are perfectly clear and the package contents are easily identifiable when reading through the instructions.
The stand, now it’s in place, is extremely sturdy with a very good range of motion. At first the movement was very stiff but a little adjustment of the elbow joint with the supplied Allen key took care of that and now I can move my monitor with minimum fuss.
Overall I am very happy with my choice of monitor arm and would highly recommend this one.
The arm allows a full 360 degrees of rotation and can extend towards me, forward and backwards impressively. It also allows a tilt of between + 35/- 50.
It is very easy to set up. I highly recommend it. It tempted me to add another 24″ or 25″monitor. That’s the only reason I am returning it as I knew there is dual monitor arm of the same brand.
I have installed about six arm monitors of different brands for myself and my friends. For the value pricing, easiness of set-up and ergonomics, in my opinion, this comes on top of all I have set up.
His current stand was impossible to adjust easily on the fly, and he uses his 32″ Samsung TV/Monitor for his pc for school video sessions, his TV and gor hos xbox. It needs to be able to move easily in every direction, especially tilt, which we couldn’t do with his old stand.
This Invision MX450 required a bit more assembly but it is very straight forward. More importantly it does everything we wanted and is rock solid.
The gas strut makes moving the screen ao easy, I can position it one handed. It tilts to a much greater degree than I realised, which is very handy given the wide range of movement available. The reach is also much longer than the previous multi-jointed pole mount arm. It didn’t require much adjustment to the tension screws to get the balance prefect.
This MX450 arm gives my son more freedom to see his screen from his bed or while sat in his wheelchair at a completely different height and angle. I wish I had bought it sooner, worth every penny.
At first I was dubious that the arm brackets would be sufficient to hold either of my monitors, one for work and the other for gaming. After reading the guide and assembling them, my doubts still existed as it seemed that the arms would be too unstable when extended to suit my desk layout.
I decided to start with the lighter of them, weighing in at 7kg, and after a few minutes adjusting the locking screws, setting the gas resistance, and attaching the VESA mount, I was easily able to position the monitor perfectly. What a difference it made right away. I initially used the very substantial clamp brackets that came with the kit, but soon switched to the optional threaded bolt through the desk surface, giving me even more options to position it. My desk is home made with MDF, so I attached a few strengthening struts underneath just to counter the slight flex when moving the monitor — however, that is down to my choice of materials and not a fault of this product.
Emboldened by the success with the first monitor, I switched my attention to the heavier 32″ widescreen gaming monitor. At nearly 9kg, my stability fears resurfaced but again using the threaded bolt through the desk, setting the gas resistance, and adjusting the locking screws appropriately, the capabilities of these monitor arm brackets soon put my mind at ease.
My desk initially had a raised shelf for the monitors to be statically placed, limiting their positioning and adjustability. With these Invision monitor arms I now have so much more space, as evidenced in the attached photo (obviously work still needs to be done to tidy up the cables and add new wall mounted shelves!). I can now move either or both monitors out of the way, freeing up much needed space on the desk. The range and flexibility of the Invision arm brackets mean that I can position each monitor perfectly to suit my glasses and viewing needs, and I have completely decluttered my workspace. And I now have complete faith in the arm brackets being more than capable of holding each monitor.
Thank you Invision, you have completely changed how I work, and play, at home.
Bought this arm to support an Alienware 38″ Ultrawide monitor which weighs 7kg. You get a very heavy and solid arm for a very good price. Assembly wasn’t too hard, cable management would have been a bit fiddly with the plastic brackets mounted on the arms, but I found I couldn’t really use this because the cables come almost right out of the bottom of the neck of this particular screen, so I just tucked them round the back and used the cable guide on the base to secure them behind my desk. I’ve got the base clamped to a solid wooden desk about 1″ thick with no through hole, and the large solid base means it feels completely secure. The arm happily supports the monitor and allows me to easily adjust its position while freeing up tons of desk space compared with the enormous original Alienware stand. The only slight issue is the pivot adjustment which needs to be done up very tight with a large, curved screen like this that has its centre of gravity relatively far in front of the attachment point. I’ve had it mounted for over a month now and it hasn’t drooped or needed any adjustment in this time, but I think anything much larger or heavier will likely need a better (and far more expensive) arm than this one. Still, it’s a great option for anything up to a 38″ screen, and really exceptional value for money compared with the recommended Dell or Ergotron options.
Arrived well packaged and seemed a substantial arm on inspection. All parts present and correct, so it went together easily enough, with very little play in the rotary parts. The channels for cables are limited in size, I doubt I’ll get any USB cables through if I need to, as the mains and display cables take up most of the channel spaces.
I’ve mounted it using the U clamp, I did add a length of wood to provide a wider area for the relatively small clamp to avoid issues with my thin desk. I won’t move that’s for sure!
I’m using an 8kg monitor and the VESA head joint has to be tightened very, very tightly to stop the monitor drooping off the vertical, thus making moving the height of the display a challenge, hopefully this joint won’t fail during use. I certainly wouldn’t want a heavier monitor on this arm.
I’ve currently packed the VESA screws with multiple washers as the supplied M4 screws are too long for my monitor mount, I will replace these with shorter ones in due course.
Overall I’m pleased with my purchase.
I had to mount this on the back of my desk, which has a steel frame and a glass top. Quite a common desk style. The clamp will not actually mount on such a desk directly, but I found that putting a piece of 2 by 2 under the desk I could use the clamp. This works very well. (I will post some pictures later). If you have a standard wooden desk top you will be fine. I found the 2 by 2 discarded at a nearby building site.
Assembly was a bit harder than I expected. I think the instructions could have been clearer, but there are not a lot of parts so it all fits together quite logically with limited head scratching. I would still suggest the company make a trip to IKEA to look at how much clearer instructions can be.
It works VERY well. Mostly I do not need to move the monitor around, but the arm allows for a great range of movement. Forward, backward, up and down and around. The monitor can be tilted too, but I think you should spend more if that is a feature you want to use frequently. The arm is large enough that I can make the monitor vertical if I want. I like that the monitor is not sitting on the desk — it gives me a lot more space (my desk is small). It feels very sturdy.
I give it five stars because I think that for this much money you could not expect anything better for a large monitor.
The unit is supplied with both ‘clamp on’ fixings and ‘through desk’ fixings so it gives you options.
I opted for the ‘through desk’ fixing as my desk is against a wall and also has a cable managment tray so not much space to use the ‘clamp on’ fixing.
Tip1: The instructions stated to drill a 10mm hole for the threaded bar but when measured, the bar supplied was less than 8mm so I drilled an 8mm hole for a ‘snug fit’.
Tip2: Before drilling the hole make sure you check underneath the desk for obstructions such as desk support brackets and cable managment trays. I forgot about my cable tray and nearly drilled the hole in such a place that it would have been in the tray which would have stopped the desk top sliding forward, oops.
Tip3: When attaching the arm bracket to the monitor please be aware of any little open holes on the monitor case. One of the screws I was putting in comically pinged off and dropped into a hole not much bigger than the screw and disappeared into the monitor casing. 20mins of holding the monitor in various positions to get the screw back to a hole and then some surgen like skills from my wife with a pair of tweezers and the screw was out again. You have been warned.
The monitor arm itself is excellent. Mine supports a Samsung 34inch curved monitor.
The arm has great support and has a great range of positions, ideal if you want to switch from a ‘work’ position at a back corner location or a ‘gaming’ position at a centre front location.
The positioning is smooth and easy and the adjustable weight function means you can set the right support for your weight of monitor.
The cable managment built into the arm is very useful and keeps cables nicely out of the way.
Tip4: When setting up the cable management make sure you set up when the arm is fully extended so you get the max length of cable required for all positions.
The base of the arm comes with a handy USB port complete with cable. I found this useful for my webcam that sits on top of the monitor.
All-in-all, very pleased with the purchase. Great quality, easy to install, great functionality and excellent value for the price.
I received my Invision Monitor Arm Bracket for 22″-35″ Screens a few days ago and have just installed it. So I haven’t used it very long, but I used a smaller Invision arm for years so I expect it will be durable.
A lot of things are quite nice, like the appearance and the basic strength of the gas strut, and the install instructions are quite impressive. Basically it’s quite usable. Most annoyances when I fitted it today (using the clamp base option) really related to the monitor, but I’m going to list a few that affect the arm.
1. At several points you need three hands. For instance, the usb cable is not properly retained until you assemble it to the clamp plate and could easily be pinched.
2. The usb cable is almost pointless. I wonder if it’s only there to make people think there is some special provision for usb-C Thunderbolt monitors, or monitors with usb out, but I don’t see how it would work for that.
3. I would advise people to make sure they have easy access to the rear of the desk, and a suitable soft surface to lay the monitor face down, and a clear desk surface, before embarking on the project
4. The strut was shipped set to maximum tension. That left the arm at the maximum height and attempting to lower it seemed to put excessive force on the base. I did not want to reduce the tension to make it positionable because that would make it droop as soon as I started to attach the monitor. I wound up assembling the face plate to the monitor at the maximum height.
5. Likewise the upper cable management tray requires a screw, whose size is not specified, and you have to locate the screw in an upside-down recess while keeping multiple cables in place with one of your other hands. At the other end of the tray there are hooks which also need to be located in the arm before attempting to fit the screw, but they are arranged the wrong way around, so that the tray falls out immediately unless you retain it with one of your other hands.
6. The tilt adjustment is just friction-fit. On my monitor the Vesa mount was off the center of gravity, so there was a lot of leverage and the joint had to be highly torqued to the point where it felt like it would fail. It is hard to reposition and tends to sag repeatedly after you think it’s set.
I’d been using my monitor’s stands for literally all my life as a PC, and now I feel foolish, because this is a truly transformational experience.
I had this all set up, with my 32″ widescreen monitor, in about 15 minutes, and that was me slowed with extra caution.
It’s perfect.
Put the headphones on and pull this thing close up, and you’ve got a bigger viewing area than you’d get in a cinema.
Push it back and, almost miraculously, you have sooooo much space on your desk, you may get a nosebleed.
Now I think of it, that’s the real selling point. After decades of having a desk dominated by monitors, I can just push this thing back and apart from my keyboard and mouse (and misc. junk, of course… I mean, of course!), I have a huge, big working area I can use to perform physical crafting. I just never, ever had that with my old static monitors. It’s almost like having two desks.
I swear… this actually made me feel better about my life and I use the word ‘transformational’ advisedly:
Especially if you’re a heavy user, moving from a static monitor to having your PC gliding around to wherever you want it… it’s a transcendence thing and maybe you’ll scoff at these words, but if you transition to an arm, you’ll never go back.
The ONLY issue I noticed – and this is my issue, not this company’s – is there’s a bit of wobble when I’m writing. (The primary reason for this is I bought a really bad desk which wobbles.)
That said, when I first moved into this flat, I had this set up in the kitchen and the arm was clamped on the absolutely solid workshop, and there was NO wobbling whatsoever.
Even on this dodgy, unstable desk, the wobbling is light and not something you notice until you focus your consciousness on it.
But yeah… this is the business. It works far better than I imagined and is definitely worth buying.
(Please disregard any negative reviews which mention the wobbling, because, really, it’s down to how stable your desk is – and if your desk is wobbly, it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a monitor arm, the monitor is going to wobble when your desk wobbles.)
Pros
– Extends a 24″ screen over the rear of the desk to provide some extra viewing distance (instructions advise not to extend the arm fully backwards but I’m doing so only by a few centimetres).
– Very robust metal construction.
– Articulates well in all directions.
– Internal routing for cables.
– Easy to assemble: took no longer than 10 minutes.
– Holds my 24″ Dell U2412M perfectly without drooping.
– USB extension in the base.
Cons
– Black glossy paint: if all your computing equipment is finished in mat (mat grey, mat white, mat black) then this glossy paint does not blend in well – to the point that I am going to buy some mat black spray paint to give it a makeover.
– Plastic cable holders are not robust: only the one in the top arm features a screw to hold it in place, the second one in the lower arm clicks into place and the third on the rear of the base broke within minutes because its two *tiny* plastic clips are completely inadequate for the heavy cabling moving through it when articulating the arm (I resorted to some double-sided magic tape to hold it in place).
– USB cable included does not work in USB 3 mode: despite having “USB 3.0” embossed on the connector none of my USB 3 devices work with it – they all revert to USB 2. The cable was correctly plugged into a USB 3 port so either the cable is faulty, or more likely its quality isn’t great adding too much resistance to be used in USB 3 mode.
– You will likely have to buy longer cables for your monitor adding c. 30 to your budget, such as a 3m power cord, 3m display cable, 3m USB cable if your monitor has a USB hub, etc.
– You may want to buy some flexible cable sleeve to hide the cables passing through the arm and give it a modern touch.
All in all, it is an incredibly robust monitor arm with a good range of motion, mostly let down by its glossy black finish.
First, I’m going to say, you should absolutely buy this arm if you are looking to mount a heavy monitor. I bought this mounting arm to support my new 38″ ultrawide monitor (Alienware AW3821DW) which it handles with ease. The arm is incredibly well made with great cable management options. I genuinely couldn’t be much happier with my purchase and I heartily recommend it to anyone I talk to in a similar situation.
Why only 4 stars then?
Well, I am definitely being harsh here and it would get 4 1/2 stars if I could. But there are three areas for improvement in my opinion:
The first, and probably the biggest ‘issue’ (and the reason for the removal of a star in the “Easy to Assemble” section), is that trying to get the Allen Key into the slot to loosen the arm for initial install is difficult when the arm is fully extended. Bend it and it becomes more open, but it is a little difficult to start with and genuinely the only area that presented any difficulty from the otherwise excellent instructions.
Second is that the arm comes with a built in USB hub in the base. Honestly, it’s totally superfluous. Nobody would really attach anything to this via USB and, when I say ‘hub’ what I mean is that it’s got a single USB port. It’s a bit of a waste of time and they could lower the cost (or increase their margin – and I absolutely wouldn’t blame them for doing so) by removing it. Perhaps I’m alone in the lack of a use-case, but I’ve got a dedicated USB hub mounted to the underside of my desk and I don’t really understand the reason of having a one-to-one ‘hub’; I mean, why not just connect the device?.
This also has a knock on effect to the final ever so slight negative: the base would be better if it was thinner. As you can see from my photos, it’s about 1cm thick at it’s thinnest point and about 1.5cm thick at it’s thickest. I would much rather this have been a much thinner base – that way I could have put my desk mat over the top of it. Instead, I’ve had to clamp over my mat.
Again, I realise that I’m being incredibly picky here but I hope that this review comes across more genuine than the thousands of fake reviews products get on Amazon just giving 5 stars and saying “good arm” etc.
