Monoprice Single Monitor Adjustable Gas Spring Desk Mount - Black Supports Up to 34 inch Monitors 19 8

Another flawless product from Monoprice. Worth every penny. No issues with installation and setup, only took a few minutes before my monitor was on its new stand. Tilt, rotation, height adjustment, all function seamlessly. On top of that, you can easily dismount your monitor as the backing plate you screw on can easily be slipped on or off by just pulling a tab back and lifting the monitor up, in case this is a feature you desire. The desk clamp also has 2 holes where you can store the included allen wrenches in case you ever need to tighten or loosen the joints on this stand to accommodate the weight of your monitor. Could not ask for a better experience, what an amazing product. Keep up the good work. Read more

I was not expecting much from this monitor arm, but I was pleasantly surprised. It very solidly built, movement is smooth and easy, and it clamps very solid. The clamp also has two separate ways to be mounted and has a lot of clamping range. The cable management in the arm is very nice as well and works great. I highly recommend these monitor arms. I bought this for a friend so we could try it out. I have the dual monitor arms from Secret Lab and if I could return them I’d just buy two of these. I’m very impressed. Read more

I read a lot of the reviews and was really worried about the ability for the monitor arm and pitch to stay put -- it worked fine. I have a antique editor's desk on the smaller side with one of those standing desk liftable surface things on top. I connected this to the standing desk surface and it is fully supported. I also have a really really small area to work with in my "office"/closet area and I was able to maneuver it into wasted corner space to the right off my desk. I work with a lot of paper files so it was such a relief to have that desk space back! Also, I was able to do everything with the hex keys provided, a pair of pliers for tightening those up, and a drill for a few screws (bc so much faster and easier on the wrists). I cannot emphasize how out of shape and not strong I am from not working out all COVID -- I regularly ask my husband to open jars and things. Yet, I was able to tighten everything up pretty easily. Also the actual mounting of the monitor to the arm is much easier than anticipated. You just screw in their VESA backing to the monitor which you would have laid down flat, then it can be lifted and slid/locked into place. Not hard at all. I attached a 27 in monitor to it as well. I remember i my monitor is not the max weight allowed by the arm, but it was in the higher weight range. Read more

The build quality is very nice. Very solid feeling and no concerns with holding a big monitor like the X34. The Value is great. A couple of design criticisms: (1) Like most arms, this one has a sloppy tilt feature with 1 screw that you have to tighten exactly for it to hold and hope that it droops to the right tilt angle. While the weight is a few lbs under the rated 19lbs max, it still was a trick. You can see from the pictures its had curved washers which provide point contact, probably for ease of adjustability for lighter monitors. To get this monitor to stay, I switched those out for regular washers for full surface contact (more friction). It took a day or two and a few re-positionings to finally get the washers to wear in and hold. It's been holding for a few months now even after moving the monitor to different positions so I don't think it will be a problem again. Basically once you get it settled in, it works great. (2) The top and bottom arms are not the same length. The reason this is a problem is that at first I had mounted the arm in the center (like previous arms) but that means that the monitor can not be centered to the base unless the arm is rotated most of it's length back towards the wall (which is around a foot or so). It's kind of hard to explain, but trust me it's a problem. The solution is that you must install the arm to one side about 3in (check before you install), so that the monitor will sit centered without needing to be extended forward or back. (3) The plastic covers for the cable management are a bit flimsy and the bottom one slides off while the top one clips on. I confused it and accidentally busted the bottom one. Luckily I only planned to use the top. But overall I'm a big fan to have a clean desk with this arm. Read more

This is the best monitor arm I have owned so far and I have bought ones from vivo and huanuo(?) and none could handle the weight of my monitor even though they said it could and the height was not satisfactory. This arm ticked all the boxes I was looking for. It’s very sturdy, change height smoothly (and it goes pretty high up), has a nice cable management slot on both halves of the arm, and looks sleek. Seal of approval from me. Read more

Works well enough, but the tilt function leaves much to be desired. Read more

I came across this product after reading the Wirecutter article about monitor arms. I was looking for something sturdy, flexible, and affordable that would fit well within my small workspace. I also didn’t want to buy another arm in the near future or be frustrated by wobbly movements. For my use, this product is great! It fits well within my space and looks as robust as the Fully arm! The movement is smooth and gives me the feeling that it is secure and sturdy. Cable management also worked out great. I had a lot of cables (5) coming out of my monitor that needed to be routed through this thing. It was a little bit of a challenge but it worked out great. Would highly recommend to someone looking for an aesthetic product, that does the job it was made for without being expensive. It isn’t the cheapest option but I think it is the best value option. If you want something even better, I would recommend searching on eBay for professional equipment that is being liquidated. Read more
