Monitor Arm Guide: Pick the Right Mount

Why a Monitor Arm

Raising your monitor to eye level prevents neck strain and frees desk space.

Single vs Dual

Single for one monitor or laptop-plus-monitor. Dual for two screens side-by-side.

VESA Compatibility

Check your monitor VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm). The arm must match.

Weight Capacity

Weigh your monitor without the stand. Most arms support 4-20 pounds.

Mount Type

Clamp mounts attach to desk edges. Grommet mounts go through a desk hole.

Adjustability

Look for height, tilt, swivel, and rotation. Gas spring arms adjust smoothly.
