Customer Review: Works Perfectly; Exactly What I Needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach college courses, and I occasionally have students in my office and I want to show them something on the computer. I looked at a bunch of monitor arms that would let me swing my monitor around so that others could see it. This is the most sturdy, easy to use monitor arm I've seen. The monitor moves smoothly, and the range of movement is amazing. Just remember to tighten the adjustment screw to match the weight of your monitor--I forgot and initially thought my monitor was too heavy because it kept sinking. However, after I adjusted the screw, it was perfect.

Update: I've had the monitor arm for about a year now and it has been well worth the investment. One thing to note: The capacity of the arm (20lbs) is the weight of the monitor without its built-in stand. I have a 24" monitor that is 21 lbs, but the stand itself weighed 6 lbs, leaving my monitor a lean 15 lbs that was well within the capacity of this arm.
Customer Review: Amazing technology
Summary: 5 Stars
This product surpasses my expectations. It is very easy to install, I got it set up in under an hour. Now I can move my 22-inch monitor close, farther, higher, lower, pretty much adjust every fine angle and location until one feels comfortable. There are a number of options for anchoring this system to your table, and you can position the anchor to your side, in the front or in the corners, it still retains its functionality. I think this prooduct is a very fine piece of engineering. I was skeptical at first if it would bear the weight of a 22-inch monitor, but my worries have been laid to rest. Somehow, all you have to do is give it a little push or a tug to get it in a position you want. Sensitivity is completely ajustible with the help of the provided hex screws.
All in all, I am very satisfied with this system and may plan on buying another one to pair with a second 22-inch monitor.
Customer Review: Expensive but worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very sturdy mounting kit for my monitor. I have a 22 inch monitor and have had no problems with the arm "sinking" or losing tension. I have it set up on a small table to the side of my easy chair and I can move the screen to virtually any tilt to make it easy for gaming, surfing, working or occasionally spinning around to show someone something cool online. If I need to get up, it easily moves out of the way.
This arm was a good solution for me because I had neck trouble and headaches trying to read my monitor when it was set up in a static position on my desktop. The screen used to be too far away to easily read without wearing glasses, and turning my head to the left constantly caused muscle problems in my neck and shoulders. This arm puts the screen front and center at any distance I want. I'm glad I spent the money on something that works so well for me.
Customer Review: works for me!
Summary: 4 Stars
i am very happy with this product. the installation was very simple and took about 20 minutes. i did have to adjust the tension screw for quite a while until it finally held the monitor, but that was no big deal. i use the unit to support a wacom cintiq 21ux that weighs #18.7 and it works great.
i bought the arm to keep me from bending over so much. the monitor, if you do not know, is one that you draw on. so for this purpose, keeping my body more upright, the ergotron works perfect.
my only slight complaint is that i cannot rotate the monitor a full 90 degrees when it is the most comfortable drawing position. but i am still working that out...so far so good.
one other thing, when i am not drawing on the monitor, the ergotron now allows my monitor to be in it proper veiwing postion. more comfortable than before!
Customer Review: Excellent support arm
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this for close to a month and am loving it. It's bought to support a 24" LCD monitor and doing a great job at it. I first try the clamp type mount at the edge of the desk, only to find its footing being readily shifted when I move the monitor about. The weight of the monitor may be the greatest contributor to the matter. I ended up using the drill-through-the-table mount_be careful and plan accordingly before drilling if you had an expensive desk to deal with. Also note that the center of the foot of the mount needs to face squarely to the position of the monitor. Otherwise, you would see it weighs heavily on the side the monitor is at. Only minor details one must pay attention to. Other than those, this mount looks and works great on my desk. It's quite awesome that the monitor can be completely moved out of the way when needed.
