Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was impressed with how easy this was to install. It was less than 10 minutes from unpacking to having it on my desk. I don't adjust my monitors much once they are set, but if felt like getting them to where I really wanted them took a lot bigger movements that I would have liked. I often had to pull the monitor closer to allow the arms to swing properly just to move the monitor a half inch to the left. Other than that, they are easy to use, easy to set up, look great, and so far work without a hitch.

If it were possible to produce a free-standing model, I would probably feel differently, but it is useless on any surface that is not totally flat where it is installed.

Great stand. Wish there was a product available for larger monitors.

I've had this monitor mount for a few months now. Overall, this is a wonderful device, and I definitely recommend it. Everything about it has been awesome except for one complaint, plus a caveat... The good: The arm articulations are flawless and smooth over a pretty awesome range of motion, it looks like it came from the 24th century, and it handles heavy monitors like a champ, leaving them exactly where you moved them to. Assembly is also pretty easy. The bad: The base isn't high enough to get the full vertical adjustment range that the arm itself offers. When adjusting the arm downwards, a typical monitor will make contact with the desk surface before the arm reaches its lowest possible position, and the highest position doesn't seem as high as that on other arms. This is purely because the mounting base just doesn't extend high enough, so it seems like a design oversight. It's not a problem for my particular setup, but if you think it could be for yours, check the Ergotron website for the dimensional diagrams, and bust out a tape measure. If you're into the business of voiding warranties, the Ergotron employees posted the base pole's manufacturing specs on their official forum, so that industrious customers could have a new one machined and then swap it into their setup. Just sayin'. The ugly: Some newer monitors are pretty lightweight, sometimes too light for the lowest-tension setting of these Ergotron arms. Your monitors must be heavier than 7 lbs each, otherwise the arm will drift upwards!
