My university once had an office supply sell to get rid of old equipment (kind of like a office liquidation) and that's how I snagged my Ergotron HX for about $30.
Are there any gas spring arms that don't require a lot of room behind the desk? I want to put my monitor on an arm to save desk space, but I don't have room to pull the desk several inches away from the wall.
As a person who uses humanscale monitor arms at home for work and in the office the cable management is probably the best IV seen, all their monitor arms really hide the cables out of the way, IV set up other monitors arms for friends and family and I'm always amazed at how some companies have cable management as a mere afterthought and it can really ruin the look of your set up
i recently got the HUANO dual monitor stand and so far i'm very happy with it. i don't love how it attaches to the desk, i'd prefer a more "attached" clamp but it hasn't given me any problems and so far, would totally purchase again
Great video ! I like the Vivo heavy Duty arm, but unfortunately my LG 43" monitor has VESA 200 x 200 mounting. I saw some VESA extension accessories ( from 100mm to 200mm ) but not sure if they work... do you have any advice ? Many thanks !
Great Information, have you guys ever tried the Ergotron MVX?,I've been considering it since it seems like the LX in a more sleek form factor, but i haven't come across much info on it.
Thank you for a very nice video. I really like monitor arms and would love to get your take on the most "fancy" (best looking) monitor arm. I get that the humanscale focuses decently on the look, but is there any monitor arm out there that you think really LOOKS insanely beautiful and minimal? I have been on an endless search for the "perfect" monitor arm and I every single one has a flaw....I need to find the one with the most 1) minimal , 2) beautiful and 3) utilitarian design....Something even better than the Herman Miller Flo :)
Great video you talked about a couple arms that I never heard of before so something to look at. Do you have any thoughts on the Secretlab MAGNUS Monitor Arm (Heavy Duty Edition)? I found that one but dont know much about it so was curious since that is the one I was leaning towards until I found your video. I would be using it for a 49" Samsung Super Ultrawide Monitor
I recently bought the Ergotron HX for my Dell S3220DGF monitor (which only weighs around 7.5kg), and I have had no issues with positioning it exactly where I want it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the monitor you mentioned being too light was the LG G2 OLED? According to LG's main product page, it has a weight of 9.8kg (without the stand), so it's technically within the recommended weight range of 9.0-19.1kg. Maybe that monitor arm is faulty, and not allowing you to adjust the tension correctly?
Yea, it can definitely hold the LG G2. I have it holding my 6.27kg Alienware AW2725DWF without problem. I also have another HX holding an even lighter Dell s2721dgf 4.5kg but requires some adjustments to make it work.
LX supports up to 11kg, and the HX can support up from 9kg. It entirely depends on your budget, and whether you'd ever buy a bigger or heavier monitor in the future.
Never buy a gas spring arm they don't last long. Go for those with just hinge joints, especially if you don't need to consistently keep adjusting the monitor position.
Not true - you just need a gas spring arm from a quality manufacturer. I've had the Putorsen heavy duty dual arm supporting 2 x 49" monitors (and then a 49" + 38") for over 2 years and its been superb.
I had the Huanuo triple monitor arm, one if the gas spring arms failed and I wasn't able to get it to last for more then 4 months. It was also well within the weight limit, the monitor was only around 6 pounds. They were also just very cheap quality and would creak every now and then.
hey yo q question to you: did u ever test or could you test the monitor arms from the german company leetdesk ? its a german company that sellsheight adjustable gaming desks, but sells as a accesory, monitor arms too, tought about buying a desk with monitor arms but not sure if the triple monitor arm is worth the money or not :D
Not quite true, the distribution of the weight matters as well. Wider monitors extend the weight further out from the center mass of the stand and gives the arm LESS leverage to hold the weight. Try picking up 30 Ibs. box close to your body … now lift it with your arms fully extended outward. See the difference?
@@trevscott2309we aren’t talking physics, we are talking monitor arms. The manufacturers don’t make different arms based on monitor inches, they make them based on weight. Wider monitors will necessarily mean the arm has to be sturdier and support more weight than narrower ones.
@@kurtdha Yes, we’re talking monitor arms, where physics 100% come into play - period. Just because you don’t want to acknowledge it doesn’t make it any less true … so I’ll say it AGAIN; the further weight is distributed from the point of center (in this see the monitor arm base) the less leverage you have to control the weight. If you don’t want to accept basic physics then just agree to disagree and move on.
@@trevscott2309 It just means they use thicker metal and thicker bolts/screws to withstand the higher tolerances. I’m not disagreeing that your physics are wrong, I am agreeing with you on that. I’m just explaining that from a consumers perspective, all they have to worry about is meeting the weight requirements and they are good no matter how wide the monitor is. For example, there is a monitor arm that does 57 inches and 44 lbs. There’s another monitor arm that does 49 inches and 44 lbs. In this case, the one listed at 49 inches and 44 lbs can hold a 57 inch monitor with no problem as long as the monitor is under 44 lbs.
It doesn't really matter when almost all of these monitor arms are manufactured in China. The Humanscale one says its country of origin is Ireland, but I'm not sure if that's just their Europe HQ or where the products are actually manufactured.
Manufacturing is done in China, Vietnam and Malaysia depending on the product, but we are an American company! The Vivo phone company in China is different, although our customer support team can probably almost give tech support on those phones with how many wrong number calls we get.

Would be great to get a similar video for dual monitor arms, especially those that allow for monitors to be mounted at different heights.
This is exactly what I'm looking for also
just buy 2

Wow, that's 11x less than what it actually sells for!
please can you do a video for dual 32-inch monitors arms? or just dual monitor arms in general?
That would be awesome because I am looking for a good one as well
Would like your thoughts on Fully and Monopriced arms
Are there any gas spring arms that don't require a lot of room behind the desk? I want to put my monitor on an arm to save desk space, but I don't have room to pull the desk several inches away from the wall.
What brand are those mini stereo monitor stands you are using in this video? They are so neat and compact. Thanks!
Everything is so perfectly aligned. How do you do this? Whenever I use a level it's 0.2 or 0.3 degrees off somewhere. Either my table, my monitor.
A spirit level?

An interesting test would be to see how much (and for how long) the arm shakes when you bump the table.
Looking for a long arm...longest I've found so far can stretch 20 inches...is that about max?
I need a monitor arm that can support 2 ultrawide screens placed on top of each other. Do you know any?

MSI Mag MT201 can be had for as low as $50 and it’s pretty solid.
Check out the Dell MSA-20. Very solid Monitor Arm.
Can y’all review the Ergotron NX?
Please please look at the Dell MSA20 monitor arms 😊

are there any good arms for 34 inches and around 50 bucks?
Max heights off desk? I want to go from sitting to standing on a non-standing desk (would prop up my keyboard/notebook)

Can you try the FlexiSpot BS3? It‘s a budget chair for only 99USD
Will the LG C2 42inches be okay with Human Scale M10 unlike the Ergotron HX? I think you forgot to compare it.
Any wall mounted solutions?
Do these work with glass desks?
What about Mount IT! SKU: MI-4881?
can you remove the branding off the north bayou arm on the base and the arm
yes, its just a sticker
What do you recommend for the c3 42 inch oled since the HX is too hefty? Is the LX strong enough?
LX supports up to 11kg, and the HX can support up from 9kg.
It entirely depends on your budget, and whether you'd ever buy a bigger or heavier monitor in the future.
So, for new Samsung G9 OLED 49" this VIVO Heavy Duty should be enough ?
It should be enough, as your monitor weighs 9.2kg (without the stand) according to Samsung's website, and the VIVO monitor arm can support up to 15kg.
Hi all can the Humanscale m2.1 support the alienware AW3423DWF of i need to go to hte 8.1 ? thanks you
didn't get difference between 50$ and 400$ arms except "more premium feel".. I am not gonna touch them too often

I wouldnt quote amazon reviews, amazon reviewers dont know quality or how something should feel when using it. Most amazon buyers are clueless.
It's important to note that you can safely ignore how many inches the arm says it supports, because it just comes down to weight anyways.
Not quite true, the distribution of the weight matters as well. Wider monitors extend the weight further out from the center mass of the stand and gives the arm LESS leverage to hold the weight.

I'm pretty syre VIVO is Chinese, unless this one is different from the phone company.
