LX Dual Desk Arm

So let me start by saying that this is the absolute best monitor arm I’ve ever used. The stability, the strength, and how universal the construction of it all is, it’s actually astounding. The maximum size and weight each arm is rated for is 27in and 20lbs, but the curved 32in MSI Optix I have on a single arm is at least 20lbs. I haven’t modified the strength or locks on either of the arms or mounts, and they feel rock solid. Ergotron actually thought of everything. My desk, like many others, has a ‘lip’ or edge that hangs off to increase the structural integrity of the desktop. This started to worry me as I wasn’t sure if the clamp-press mechanism would be wide enough for the edge ‘lip’ hanging from my desk. When it arrived it was exactly that size fully widened, so it wouldn’t fit. However in the box there were parts to convert the base of the arm to attach to a desk via a bolt through a hole(e.g. a wire organizer hole, drill hole). This saved me from having to heavily modify my desk or return the arm, and made the entire building process a breeze even with hurdles in the way.

I bought this monitor stand under the advice of a friend and he was spot on with the suggestion. These hold my monitors up and don't budge a bit, they seem to be made from quality materials and the installation is very simple.

This product is the same thing as the "AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand - Lift Engine Arm Mount, Aluminum." I had bought the AmazonBasics version first because it was cheaper, but I couldn't figure out how to make the monitor plate not face the ceiling. So I returned that one (twice) and bought this one -- but lo and behold, once again the monitor plate was facing the ceiling. But this time I found a chat, and got a quick answer. The rep told me to hold the bottom between my feet, and then gently rotate the top. I had been trying to rotate in the wrong direction. And it really does help to brace the thing with your feet. So yes I could have kept the less expensive AmazonBasics version of this product. In any case, it's terrific! And one more thing -- the mount doesn't fit on the desk edge due to the modesty panel. But we didn't use the alternative hardware for putting the mount in the outlet hole of the desk. Instead, after removing the outlet hole cover, we inserted the mount THROUGH the hole, and then screwed on the bottom part by crawling underneath the desk.

Got these for my dual Apple Studio Displays for my new desk at work. My only monitor arm experience prior to these are with Humanscale monitor arms. So far I'm really liking these. They have less wobble than the Humanscale arms I have on another setup at home. I don't move my screens very often, but the times I have, they move easily and stay exactly where I stop them at. Not much movement at all either when I'm lowering/raising my standing desk. Install was pretty simple overall. The only minor complaint I have is with a little tab that is inside the of the upper arms that attaches to the lower arms. From what I can tell, the metal tab is for the small set screw to push against so the upper arm has more/less tension against the lower arms (See my second photo with the red arrow). After doing a dry install to make sure all parts fit and where I wanted it be mounted at, I took the upper arms off of the lower arms, and the tabs from both upper arms fell out. Took me a little bit to figure out where they came from since they're not mentioned in instructions specifically. I just popped them back in, but they can fall out easily if you're not paying attention. Just something to keep in mind in case it happens to you. Aside from that, the only thing I wish this had was a pass through for the monitor cables in the base portion of the mount. Would make for a cleaner look if the cables were hidden within the base portion of the mount, although that would require a larger hole to be cut for the base mount. Overall, I'd definitely recommend these mounts for a dual Apple Studio Display setup.

I've had several other brands of monitor arms, and this one is by far the best. It's expensive by comparison to some of the other brands available but the range of motion and stability cannot be beat. Assembly is pretty straight forward and uncomplicated, I docked one star only because the wire management is just a little snug which makes the covers difficult to pop on/in place. The mount installed easily onto my versadesk stand up riser and makes adjusting my screens quick and easy. I can spin a monitor to face my guest chairs while keeping one facing me which makes collaborating in my office easier. The monitors stay in place until you want to move them, and when you want to move them it takes 2 hands but not a lot of force.

Product was exactly as described. There are multiple parts of articulation allowing complete customizability. The only complaint I have (which isn't really one) is that the M4 screws that came with the kit were silver and didn't match the rest of the black features. Swapped those out for black screws and now everything is perfect. The cord management for this is also top-notch. If I end up doing another setup elsewhere, I'm buying these arms again. Love them.

Great manoeuvrability and easily adjustable! Each arm can hold up 32in screen easily. Durable solid build. Relatively light for the amount of strength. Easily fits any desk. Extremely versatile. Easily outperforms the product description from the manufacturer.

Monitor was a pain in the ass to setup. The Allen wrench was too long so I had to go to lowes and get a smaller one so it would stop hitting against my desk when I would tighten. Then once I finally got it tightened up. Went to mount the VESA mounting screws to my monitor and they weren’t long enough. So had to go back to lowes again and get some screws that was long enough. Incredibly difficult to reach the screws for adjusting the monitor. Don’t know if I would buy this again but this is also my first monitor mount.

Ich habe rechts einen 27 Zoll und links einen 22 Zoll Bildschirm montiert. beim linken habe ich nur den oberen Haltearm montiert, den unteren weggelassen. Anpassung an das Gewicht des Monitors ist problemlos möglich. Die Abdeckkappen an den Haltearmen sind schwierIg zu demontieren, also erst daraufsetzen, wenn man sicher ist, ob mit oder ohne unterem Armteil günstiger ist. Die Tischklemme, normalerweise die Schwachstelle, ist sehr stabil. Ich habe die am Tisch aufliegende Fläche etwas nachgearbeit, um eine Beschädigung der Tischfläche sicher auszuschliessen. Die Gummifüße sind sehr dünn.

You can feel true quality in comparison to other monitor arms. Very stable with two 27” monitors mounted on an electric desk and very stable even when adjusting desk height. Easy assembly, clear instructions and easy to maintain

Was betting the arm will be able to accommodate my 34 inch ultrawide and 24 inch monitor. It does! Though the monitor won't be able to move much as it was a really tight fit. Also the plastic cap at the first pivot was really hard to put in, and i snapped the plastic cap off. Contacted Ergotron and the replacement was shipped in priority mail to me internationally. Really good support by Ergotron!

Llegó el producto en excelentes condiciones. Ergotron es de las mejores marcas de soportes. Lo único que puedo decir es sobre el tiempo ya que tardó un poco en llegar (aunque dentro del tiempo estimado) y tuve que devolverlo por esa razón porque compré otro que me llegó más rápido.

The build quality is truly outstanding and mostly everything is machined with great precision. There are only a few plastic pieces and they are for covers or cable management. There are two minor issues that being said: - I wish the arms could lift a bit higher, e.g., 5cm more would be largely enough. - The cable management plastic bits are not as great as the remaining of the product and it is really hard to put more than 3 cables through.
