SmartFit One-Touch Height Adjustable Dual Monitor Arm

TL;DRFor those searching for dual monitor arms that are of quality and do what they are suppose to do, stop your search and purchase this one! :)After extensive research and finally talking with our onsite AVI-SPL guys about what to buy that would support my two monitor's weight (ASUS MG28UQ - roughly 17lbs each) I was led to this product.Below I will list out my use case and how this product met or exceeded my expectations.Desk-to-Wall SpacingMy primary concern was the need to find arms that would work with a L shaped desk that is located in a corner of my office facing the wall. I have approximately 4" from the back edge of my desk to the wall. The installation method I went with was the clamp and I still have roughly 2" of clearance and as far as I would ever need, plenty of room to maneuver the arms.Weight LimitsThe current monitors I use are the Asus MG28UQs. These monitors are 28" and are significantly heavy. Tightening the arms to counterbalance the weight of the monitors was easy enough to do with the provided Allen Wrench.Range of MotionI was looking for arms that would support quick switching from horizontal to portrait with ease. These arms do just that and are easy to level out. As for distance from keyboard or front edge of my desk, these arms allow me to push my monitor where the front of the screen is roughly 6" from the wall giving me the full capacity of my desk space.Overall, this has been a great product and worth the price.

First of all, this monitor arm is more expensive than others because it is high-quality (all heavy gauge metal) and very well designed and built. You will not be disappointed. I saw one review that said it wouldn't support their heavy LED monitor. That's what programmers call a "user error." There's an adjustment screw on the top arm section which you can use to increase the amount of support force. You must turn it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase the resistance. That may be counter intuitive but it works. The only plastic pieces on this monitor arm are the channel covers which snap onto the bottom of the arms to hide the cables. It may cost more but it's a heavy, solid, well constructed device that works -- period.

It is really great. It comes with a bracket to put on the back of the monitor , which clips into the arm real easily. (Maybe they all do). I just had to rearrange my desk - it make it very easy. It comes with an Allen wrench to adjust the tension. If you are using the bracket (not the grommet) it might make sense to add some self stick felt padding - it scratched my desk a little. (Magic marker to the rescue). I used the felt blankets in the three places that touch my desk - top, bottom and back of the bracket. .

This stand didn't work well for me. I felt that it would work better for the back off the desk for me to have a screen in front of me. I had to put the arm doubled to make it work. It would work great for a wall mount or if I mounted on the furthest point away from me.

I really like the Kensington dual monitor arms. I have one 32" and one 24" monitor.Like with other reviews, I had to adjust the bolts on the arms to take the weight of the monitors turning the bolt left to hold more weight on the arm (photo) bolt and to the right on the other bolt near the monitor.I have it attached to an Ergotron corner desk converter, and it's working well. So pleased!

I tightened the clamp as tight as humanly possible, which wasn't easy because the part you have to turn is right up against the back of the bracket. My monitor is only 11 pounds and my desk thickness is well within allowance. But whenever I moved my monitor, the base would move on my desk. I think it's because the bottom pivot point is so low to the base. I wasted two days trying to get this to work, even tried using slim rubber things that you use to open jars between the desk and the base, but nothing worked, so I'm returning it. I think a monitor arm with a pole type assembly has a better chance of being stable while moving the monitor, so I'll try that next.

See photo. I purchased a double and a single and paired them with curved monitors. My main intention was to be able to raise and lower the monitors so I could stand during meetings. It gets me out of my chair and I am less likely to try and multi task…

Finally landed on "true flexible" arm stand. This one works so great as each hinge swivels around, and that gives you so much more freedom based on its price. I have two monitor arm at my office desk, but this one that I bought for personal use is much more superb.
