VIVO Premium Aluminum Height Adjustable Single Monitor Articulating Desk Mount Stand w Gas Spring Arm Fits up to

Picked up one of these to see how it stacked up with the Herman Miller that this is a clone of and the couple other models of arms i use at work. The only discernable difference with my HM art home is the finish, a slightly rougher metallic coating vs smooth, hardware otherwise identical. Great value overall, no issues whatsoever with it in the last 3 or so years I've used them both. Included cable management tracks are great, movement range excellent, looks just as good as the original. If i get a 3rd monitor for my setup at home, def getting another one of these. Read more

I got two of these, one for a 32" HP Pavilion (just under 20 lbs) and the other for a 29" BenQ and they work great. Adjustment is easy; although the tensioner tightens anti-clockwise it is labeled and easy to set. Variety of connection hardware, seems very strong. A plus over the Fleximounts model ( that I had to replace with this because it only held 11 lbs) is that the Vesa mounting plate has a quick release, so you can mount the plate to the monitor then easily insert the monitor onto the stand instead of requiring another person to hold the monitor in place while screwing in 4 small screws.

This is the identical product a different company (starts with f, from pacific northwest) is selling for three times the price, It can also be sourced historically from another retailer with mono in the name 🤫. For the price I recommend doing some small work on it to make it funciton like a $3,000 arm. 1. Take apart the two main swing joints and drench the plastic parts in silicon grease. (warning: middle joint is extremely hard to put back together because of a fitted washer that barely grabs onto it's target) 2. Place a thin nylon washer in between the bolt and metal washer of the tilt joint (right behind monitor). This is by far the only bad joint of the system because it's not spring assisted so it's harder up than down, nylon smooths it out a bit. 3. Once you are very sure you are happy with it's position, drill a tight hole in your desk and use the drill hole mount, it's WAY more secure and solid and you won't have your monitor tipping down at full extention anymore. Only downsides that you can't really cure is that the foot of the base only has four tiny rubber feet, so you're going to eventually have the shape of the sharp metal rim imprinted in your desk, and the tilt joint sucks.

Holds up the monitor fairly well. The issue I have with it is where it attaches to the monitor it starts to sag a bit which is noticeable if you have multiple monitors. Read more

I finally decided on this arm after seeing negative reviews at the top of every monitor arm/stand I could find. I figured going with a metal one was a better bet to reduce wobble and better secure my somewhat expensive Zowie monitor. I could not be happier with my purchase, it cleared up A TON of room on my desk compared to the fat stand that came with my monitor. I don't really move my monitor at all, but I was able to place it exactly where I want it and just leave it there. It was fairly straight forward to set up even coming from someone who has no prior experience with anything like this. The only thing worth mentioning is that the part that controls the up/down tilt had to be tightened pretty tight until it would hold. I wasn't sure I was doing it right because it didn't seem to move much, but it definitely does tighten. I believe almost all the bad reviews must've just been people who got a bad unit which can be easily returned or replaced through Amazon's generous return policy. It is not fair at all to give the company no chance to fix any issues which many reviewers seemed to do. Something I can say is the arm is fairly hard to move when the arm is not anchored to anything, which is probably the cause for some of the complaints about it being too stiff. It's likely that some units are actually too tight, but for my unit, once I attached it to my desk, it's fine. It's still firm, but very easily movable with just one hand. The upper arm moves by just pulling on the monitor, but the lower one I would adjust by hand if you ever need to move it. Similarly, some reviewers just didn't read any instructions and don't understand that you have to tighten a bolt to increase the pressure of the pneumonic arm. It is not supposed to hold up the monitor out of the box, you are supposed to adjust it to suit your monitor's weight. It's not extremely obvious which way is loosening or tightening, but worst case you can just try both until it works. One thing to note is that you will need probably about an inch of clearance behind your desk, so your desk cannot be pushed flush with a wall if you are attaching this to the back. It was very easy for me to just move my desk a tiny bit forward to get around that. Just make sure you've considered that before buying in case you're unable to move your desk to accommodate. Other than that, my desk is slightly curved in the back but it still clamps on very sturdy and I have absolutely no worry that it won't hold. Overall this is a very good product and I will definitely be buying another if I decide to get another monitor. If you're on the fence because of some bad reviews like I was, I am confident you will not regret buying this. Read more
