Saw your video, great video, informative. Went down to the comments, saw you answer as many people as possible to clear their doubts. The scope of your interaction with your audience amazed me. New sub here now.
Thank you! We do try our best to give as much information and advice as possible, and often times comment section makes it personal for each individual. It's great when we can help. And thanks a million for subscribing 😊
I enjoy your content a lot, keep em' coming! I like that you feature Singaporean brands.
Thanks for watching! We will keep them coming! :)
Enjoyed your video! Thanks for providing step by step details of the installation of curved screens on the arc stealth arms. So clear. This is what I was looking for my WFH setup. Good job!! 👍 Had to smash the Subscribe button.
Glad it was helpful! And wow...! It's the best kind of subscribe when you smash it, thanks so much! 😄 Made my day.
You should talk to them about making a white and silver if they don’t have it in color
Got a question for you! I want to use this dual monitor arm to mount my two monitors. However, these monitors are used for two different reasons. One is used for gaming (high response rate etc.) the other is colour accuracy (IPS panel)/high resolution for work. I want to be able to swap what monitor faces directly in front of me when I'm gaming or working. For example, when working I want to have my work monitor in front of me and then gaming monitor off to the left or right for secondary use. When gaming, I want to move the gaming monitor right or left position to the center and work off to the left or right (where the gaming monitor would have been). Is that possible with the adjustments given on this stand?
Hey the adjustments are left and right mainly so you can move them slightly forward and central and move slightly back and to the side.
I have been unable to set the screen to the lowest level. just wondering if I need to lose some scewes anywhere?
Great review. Thanks for the help too. I was looking around on how to fix my prism 34 monitor to the stealth arm :)
thanks ! Glad I could help
Hey! Thanks for the great review. I'm looking to get a 34 inch ultrawide and use my current 27inch monitor in portrait mode side by side. Can this arm support them being close together with no gaps? Or will I need to allow more space behind the desk if it is against the wall? Thanks!
very nice i might pick up the monitor arm for my upcoming aoc 1440p 144hz UW upgrade. :)
Nice!
It might be a silly question for such a "long" monitor but have you tried rotating it to portrait mode?
not silly at all - I tried it in portrait mode and can say it is weird :) the screen is too big for vertical use. I would probably call 27inch flat panel is as big as you want to go for portrait view. or you will have to look up and down too much
From what I see. It seems that you'll need a substantial amount of space behind the desk to move the monitors back.
it really depends on your set-up. our desk is pretty narrow so we have about 5-10 cm overhang backwards, if you have a larger desk you will likely want the screens closer, that will make it less of an issue
awesome and detailed review! im actually torn between choosing a stand or an arm, i like arm better but im concern about its durability in the long run as im buy a x340 pro and its heavy. how does arc stealth hold so far? does it show signs of it getting flimsy overtime?
thanks! Its been great, in fact I have placed a heavier screen on it(maxing out its capacity) and it seems really solid. I did have to allow the spring mechanism to work on full power. Its been about 6 months of use, no sag yet.
@@A2KMedia thanks for your reassurance, will be getting it this week! cheers and keep up you awesome reviews! you earn a subscriber!
@@testsubject5536 thanks! hope it goes well for you!
I am checking out some monitor arm for my 34 inch and 31 inc monitor, how is yours now after a year, still no sag yet? Thanks
Would u happen to know how long those standoffs are? Appreciate your help.
where do you get the stand ups ?
Looks very similar to the Vivo dual premium monitor. Not surprised if it’s a rebrand
Just like most arms, it is a re branded/slightly tweaked OEM part so it would look similar and deliver similar results.
I'd like to buy , but it seems like they only ship to Singapore
hey. yeah sorry.
How do I take out theing at the back of my monitor inorder to vesa mount. My monitor comes with the stand but I want to purchase a monitor arm.
you would need to check your particular monitor manual to check if it supports vesa and how to set it up.
The monitor arm is very convenient. I also use dual monitor arms. The top of the desk is very clean. The video was very interesting! With love from Japan :)
Thanks!
@@A2KMedia It was very interesting! I subscribed to the channel! Please come visit me on my channel :)
Unfortunately, I don't understand Japanese. But well done, stay enthusiastic about your hobby!
@@A2KMedia It was very interesting! I subscribed to the channel! Please come visit me on my channel :)
I loved your video with the explanation ❤️ I have a question, will it work if I have 2 x 32 inch 9kg monitors? Will it hold?
thanks! 9kg is a bit heavy, i'd probably not risk it with this mount.
Hi.. Lovely video.. After watch your video I am really considering buying this arm. Just have one question.. I do not have much space between the wall and the table. If I use the arm set up, how much space do I need to keep between the wall and the table..
It depends how much you want them to go forward or to the side. If you push them out then they almost don't need any space behind. On the other hand if you need them to be at the back in the middle you may struggle
How to you make to low enough to touch the desk? Mine won't go that low. Is there. Orr adjustment then what says in the book? There is other screws that look like they may extend lower but I'm scared to undo them
didn't really do any adjustments, it depends on your monitor size, the monitors I tried are pretty large
@@A2KMedia mines a 34 ink unltrawide. Maybe it's thinner then yours. Mine sits about 10cm above the desk. Wish U could make it just a little lower
Can’t I still mount it if I already have LED-Strips on the back of my Desk?
I've mounted mine over an led strip, but my strip has one of those plastic covers on. If yours doesent then it may damage the strip as you need a tight fit.
@@A2KMedia ok, mine is completely surrounded by silicon. Is that enough?
Then you should be OK. I've got mine mounted over the top
Hi a dumb question here, my stand seems to be stuck at a particular height (the joint at 2:33 where it has the + and -). I’ve tried using the Allan key to turn but nothing seems to change. May I know whether to turn clockwise or anti clockwise for this? Thanks!
you should be able to loosen it with the allen key, just like standard screw. Just be sure to have someone hold the screen as it will certainly pull the bracket down once loose
I have an Ikea Linnmon desk sooooo just wondering if that will cut it. Probably not but just asking :).
It really depends on what you are planning to mount to it. If displays are pretty light then should be OK, but if a lot of weight then I'd look to reinforce the desk
The link to the monitor stands is broken ooor it’s not working for me. Great video though!
thanks! are you based in singapore? It seems to work here.
yeah that shop is Singapore based as this is a local brand. There are similar ones on amazon from memory
Will I be able to use the clamp if my table has a layer of glass on top?
I am not sure as when you apply considerable force from the two monitors that may be too much for glass, I would recommend reaching out to prism for support.
i cant seem to adjust my prism arc stealth monitor arm as freely as yours, it takes me a huge deal of strength to move it about. do you have any idea on how i could fix that?
you may need to loosen it at the back, there are a few screws that adjust the tension on the arms
Hey great review. Im looking at buying these, but I'm wondering if it supports a vertical dual monitor setup. Ive got 2 27" monitors.
Hey. No vertical mounting on this one. Only side by side.
hey there what desk are you using? it looks really nice. Also could you share which ugreen splitter you use? Thinking of getting one too. Thanks!
Hey Andrew, the desk top is from Ikea and the legs are from ErgoEdge. Ugreen splitter is just called that.We have just updated the links in the description below if you want to check them out.
I've like and subscribe 😉😉. I enjoy your video keep it up!!
Awesome! Thank you!
It's not ship to Australia or International so how can I order it?
Unfortunately for now it's only sold in Singapore.
How do i set up the monitor to look like yours? I can only extend but it wont spread the background across two monitors. I own 2 PG270 Pro monitors. Any help is appreciated
hey, you just have to find a background that is designed for wide screens, you can even try searching for Ultra Widescreen Wallpapers
what a cool video. how would i connect my MacBook air 2017 to the dual monitor arm - via the 2 USB ports at the base of the arm?
thanks! We actually do utilize those by plugging into a usb hub that then connects to the MBP.
@@A2KMedia could i ask what usb hub please?
@@AndrewEmoryTaint we are using Anker 4-Port USB-C to USB 3.0 but there are a lot of different kinds.
So if I have 2 curved 34" monitors this will work for me?
Yeah that would fit side by side
Hi I am having a big problem here so I bought 2 32 inch monitors and the space is small so will using a monitor arm be ok
hey. this monitor arm definitely helped us with the space, as long as you have space for the monitors themselves - this will clean up the desk.
what are your thoughts in comparing dual 27inch and dual 32inch monitors?
It really depends if you need more or less screen space. I personally prefer more.
Hey! I chanced upon your video and your setup is quite similar to mine. I would like to ask if it is actually causing your karlby countertop to sag/bow more due to the weight of the 2 monitors and the monitor arms itself ?
no sag yet, but my desk legs have middle bar support so I am sure that helps. I would recommend have some sort of support there as when I did research, I found many people have issue with it sagging over time.
Thanks for the review! I just want to ask if you still use the monitor arm and does it sag over time?
used it until very recently, not had any sagging issues even with these large screens. changed due to upgrading to larger monitor.
@@A2KMedia Thanks for the help the monitor is fairly cheap, I will definitely have to get one
thanks
No problem :)
Can you put the monitors like one on top and one on bottom?
unfortunately not with this one, but prism also has another version of this mount that does exactly that.
can i use my 2 curved screens with this arm?
Hi. What size?
@@A2KMedia is it good if they are both 27""
@@epicfreegaming525 yep no problem
Great video! Can I check where did you get the desk from?
Hi Ivan, IKEA kitchen counter with adjustable base from ergoedge
hi can I use my "prism+ 315" monitor, I bought this way back 2017. I'm not sure if this will compatible to mount.
thank you in advance.
Hey there, yes you can. from the website: VESA Mounting 75 x 75 (with included custom spacers) - you will need those spacers though.
@@A2KMedia couldn't find the spacers on the website, could i have a link to the custom spacers?
@@jaredtan2491 Hey, the message above refers to documentation on their website - the custom spacers normally come with the monitor.
Does this work with 2 curved monitors? (havent watched the video yet just a little question)
Hi Gabriel, it would have saved you time just to skip through the video :) yes, it does
Hey, great review. Some of my questions part covered below, but wanted to get specific on a few things. I have a 34" and 28". I want to have the 34" directly (centered) in front of me, and the 28" off to the side. Is the arm's reach big enough to do this with the 34" centered in front of me? I also have a sit/stand desk - from your video, I assume you just have the 'spare' monitor cable to account for rise and fall of the desk positioned behind the computer? Final question, I was thinking about using the Arc Stealth Pro with the third arm with laptop holder attached to have a non-stacked (all in one row as opposed to one screen above an another) setup, but I don't think there's a way the arms could be manipulated for this to work due to the reach that would be required - any thoughts on this? Of course I could just buy a separate arm or separate laptop stand, but wanted to get thoughts on whether possible. Thanks!
Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. for the monitor placement, you should be able to achieve this by installing the mount on your desk slightly offcenter, I had it just like that for a while. Do make sure your monitors fit in terms of weight limitations. As I also use sit/stand desk, I've had to measure highest possible position with a string to the expected PC/laptop location then buy cables for both video input as well as power - don't cheap out here. I don't see how you can do all three devices in a row without using two mounts. Also check weight limitations on Stealth Pro for your 34 inch monitor, you may be close to max. I would recommend getting single mount for two monitors and then a cheaper mount for laptop.
@@A2KMedia thanks for the quick response here. That's all super helpful and as I expected. Have checked weights etc and all within parameters (losing the stand drops quite a bit of weight). Have plenty of length on the video cables, and all good quality. Appreciate the help.
np, glad we could help! :)
How do you connect the monitor to the monitor stand?
Hey. Its all in the quick installation guide.
How's the monitor to the side? Are the viewing angles fine?
Not had any issues.
Hey can I ask you a question. I ordered me one and I was wondering if it took a long time to get to you
unless they are out of stock, you should get it pretty quick. prism normally sends a follow up email to tell you when it is shipped.
I have a Samsung odyssey G7 32" and Asus 27" will it work with it?
hey, size wise no problem, but I recommend double check the weight. This arm can hold up to 8kg per arm.
can you position the monitors over each other with this monitor arm set?
You mean stack them one on top of the other? unfortunately no.
3:10 Wait a sec, was that Lost Ark gameplay from 2020?
yep :) its a 2019 game, just the rest of the world got it more recently.
How many usb is required to power the usb hub?
There is no usb hub on this arm, rather two USB pass through ports
I wish to have this monitor mount but I don't think they ship worldwide...am I right?
Hi Claudio, correct. Only Singapore for now
Hey! Is it possible if you want the monitor closer to just push it towards you ?
yep you can do that providing your cables are long enough
@@A2KMedia Great, thank you. I've been considering getting a dual monitor mount for a while and that was one of my concerns as i need my monitors close while gaming. Thank you once again, have a great day!
i have a Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor AW2518Hf and i want to know if it will support it, im pretty sure it will.
providing it supports standard vesa mount, then it will support it no problem.
@@A2KMedia ok thank you for your time ❤️
Hi, thanks for the review!
How much width does the arm need to mount at the bottom? My table only has about 3cm of edges to mount the arm.
Btw can the arm allow the monitor to go out of the table? My table is very narrow at the side so I want it out of the table, levitating in the air to have more space
Hey, can definitely have it float off the table just make sure the setup is stable enough for that kind of weight distribution. In terms of the width - the base is much bigger than 3cm. it is 6cm by 10cm on the under side and even bigger up top.
@@A2KMedia ty you're a champion
@@Bjornbjornn thanks! :)
does it work with zowie monitor?
hey, can't see why not. As long as monitor supports vesa mounting and is within recommended size/weight then it will work.
Hey great video. I was just wondering, I have an LG 38 inch curved display that's about 6kg. Do you think the monitor arm can support it. I was wondering cause on the website it says support up to 34 inch only but can support upto 8kg. Thanks
Weight wise it will, but I am not sure if it will fit width wise
@@A2KMedia I meant regarding only a single monitor arm not dual. Thanks for the quick reply btw
@@Danu_chandimal I think the same problem may be there. the arm reaches out from the pole, I am not sure there is enough space.
Is it possible to stack on top of each other?
unfortunately not with this model, but prism also sells similar which has ability to do it.
Can you stack the monitors
hey, not with this arm. only side by side
@@A2KMedia ok thanks
What is the size of the table to cover 2 times of 34 inches monitor ?
it really depends on your needs, technically table size does not matter as much if you use monitor arm as monitor could be hanging off the side. Just make sure your table is sturdy enough to take the weight. the table in the video is 1.8m wide.
@@A2KMedia thanks for the info..
Why did you link the arm mount to a 3rd party app?
I have the same mouse pad I love it
Yes, it's pretty cool. You have a great taste 👍
I've a W270 monitor, is this compatible to mount? And do I have to purchase any additional adapter for it to do so?
Hi there. Based on the website, it should mount without adapters.
@@A2KMedia Thank you!
how did you get them to ship internation?
hey, I believe they are only available in Singapore for now.
Does the 34 prism monitor has a USB port to connect to the stealth arm?
hey. no, you would need to connect the cables to your PC.
@@A2KMedia oh lol... thanks🤣
Prism+ has a 49 inch monitor. Can you recommend an arm for this?
actually testing this monitor right now. Using prism+ Vantage Ascend Dual to mount it. works great
@@A2KMedia great! Cant wait for you to test review it. I actually asked prism+ if they have any arms that can support their 49 wide-screen but they said they do not have
The link is dead for the mount
hey, seems to work - which country are you in?
@@A2KMedia from the sad US 😞
ahh that would be why :(
Makes sense. 😞
Hi. How do you adjust the height? I tried to tighten the screw using the allen key but it doesn't work.
when you say height adjust - just to spring it up right? you need to tighten it quite a bit if you have a heavy monitor. it tenses the spring on the inside and it will push up.
@@A2KMedia I wish to lower it down. But whenever I push it down, it just springs up.
ahh then you need to unscrew it instead to reduce tension and allow it to be moved down. do check the manual which one it is
@@A2KMedia hey.. thanks. It works!!! To think that I have been trying to figure it out for weeks till I stumble upon your video.. Thanks!!!!
no worries, glad we could help!
Can You mount 1 monitor vertically en 1 normal ?
hey! yep!
Is there any way to buy this in the US?
I am not sure that you can. There are very similar ones on amazon though
Do you have an easy time to align your monitors?
It is really easy.
Great content! Thank you for doing this. I share a desk with my cofounder and I want to have a setup like yours, but since we sit opposite to each other, can the arm make the monitor stand with its backs facing each other? I'm planning to setup the arm on the short end of a rectangular desk.
Thanks for your comment, we have just played around with the arm and there are a few options. You should be able to put it on the short edge and then have back to back screens - depending on the size of your desk this may be pretty close though, also might be a bit of an issue with leg space. You can also put the arm to one corner on the long edge and then stretch the arms across, to sit at a slight angle (creating a bit of a X shape as far as body/legs/screens go on the desk to optimize space.
@@A2KMedia Thank you so much!
is there a link to the product
hey. yep link in the description.
What size of screws are they for the spacers?
Stand off I mean
@@emperor9925 there are a few different types included with the kit
@@A2KMedia but the ones that fit into the stand off are what type of size? If u don’t mind me asking :P
@@emperor9925well the standoffs come with your monitor, you would have to check there. This kit attached to the standoffs and has a bunch of different screws
Does this work with ultra wide curved monitors?
it works ok with the 34 inch prism monitor but I'd say that is the limit. As long as item is under 8kg you should be ok.
@@A2KMedia damn 😅 mine are 8.11 kg.
@@bigcap6437 it may be a bit too much or just on the line. These arms use springs inside rated for 8kg so over time there is also a chance it will sag.
@@A2KMedia for sure, thanks for your time. You just saved me a huge headache! I’ll be sure to sub 🤙
@@bigcap6437 no problem at all and thanks!
subbed ;)
Thank you Xavier!
Y is ur link leading me to the fucking app store for my phone and not the dual arm in this video.
when on PC it goes to lazada webpage. It may be your settings on the phone to look for the app rather than direct web page. I would recommend copy the link and then open browser, then paste and see if that helps?
do 27 inch work on these arms?
yep no problem
