Ergotron LX Desk Mount Arm - mounting kit (45-179-194) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these to hold up a Dell 2407 24" widescreen monitor, and it works great.The unit is sturdy and well-made, comes with a wide range of mounting hardware for various monitor types, and is very easy to adjust.You can adjust height, horizontal position, distance to monitor, tilt, viewing angle, and swivel (landscape/portrait).When you first install it, you have to set the tensions for the weight of your monitor, but once that is done, positional and rotational adjustments are easy and it holds in place stably even for fine adjustments.

Ergotron makes a number of variants of this model, including one with two monitor arms, and one with a laptop tray.Even though the two-monitor version appears to be the same thing with an extra arm, you can't buy the extra arms or other accessories separately, so make sure you order what you want the first time.

Another commenter asked about the rated weight -- the specs say "monitors up to 20lb", and it certainly does a nice job with my 24" monitor.

The deskside mount needs a good beefy edge to grab on to, so if your desk doesn't have a lot of overhang in the back, you might have trouble installing it (though there are adapters provided for screwing it to the desk.)There are also wall-mount versions.

One slight nit is that if you type hard, the vibration is transmitted through the desk to the mount, and with a large monitor, can cause it to shake slightly, which is a little disconcerting at first.I suspect this is much less of a problem with either a more sturdy desk (I've got it attached to a riser on top of the desk) or a smaller monitor.

Would definitely buy this unit again.
