Ergotron – LX Single Monitor Arm, VESA Wall Mount – for Monitors Up to 34 Inches, 7 to 25 lbs – Polished Aluminum

I just did a big office upgrade from a cheap standing desk with desk-mounted monitor arms to a fully custom built in desk. In the process, I lost the ability to desk-mount a monitor arm since my desk now sits flush to the wall. I got used to not using a stock monitor mount that sits on the desk which look terrible and use up tons of desk space, so I knew I still wanted a mountable monitor arm and found this wall-mountable one. At first, I was skeptical about weight capacity but also annoying things like the monitor turning or moving due to gravity. Turns out this arm is not only fantastic and without any of those issues, but is much, much nicer than the expensive desk-mount monitor arm I was using before. It's rock solid, doesn't move or vibrate at all while typing, and stays perfectly in place when adjusting the monitor. And my weight capacity concerns were completely unnecessary, this mount can clearly support a lot more weight than my 27" LG ULTRAGEAR+ monitor. And installation was super easy, hardest part is just committing to the height. 10/10 love this arm!

I bought this to replace an arm that I had been using for over 15 years and finally gave it up. It only died because of a manufacturing defect that took that long to break. This arm is a similar design, but much more sleek and stylish. It has more vertical and extension distances and the friction settings were perfect right out of the box. It looks good and is heavy duty, using aluminum alloy parts. Now for the modification part. My screen is above me when I'm in my easy chair, so it needs to tip down. Several other reviewers have complained that it only tips down a slight amount, and it's true. It's right there in the spec. For some unknown reason they bent a couple small tabs from the steel part of the pivot so they hit against the aluminum casting to limit the tip. It would be easy to grind the tabs off or grind the aluminum down with a dremel tool, but that would scatter metal dust and grinding powder all over and make a mess. Instead, I took a small pair of vise grips and took a deep grip on the tab, but not real tight, and used a bit of squeezing and bending to straighten it up about 2/3 of the way. Then I took a tighter grip with the end of the tool right at the bend point and straightened it almost all the way. Finally I took another deep grip that was tight to smooth out the metal at the bend. Do that for both sides and in about 10 minutes your screen will pivot down, and there's no mess and nothing to paint. They could have eliminated a manufacturing step and produced a better project. What were they thinking? I haven't noticed any side effects. It holds the wires better than my other arm, and was 1/3 the price.

This is a seriously nice product. There are few wall-mount swing arms that offer the versatility of the Ergotron Lx. And there are even fewer that compete at this price, which is substantial but worth it in my opinion. Right out of the box, you can tell that this is a quality product. From the heavy 80mm hardened steel mounting bolts, to the mounting wall anchor with plastic vanity covers for the bolts, to the precision movement in the arm itself, there is no doubt that you are getting what you pay for. The Ergotron Lx both looks nice and feels nice. I am very happy with my purchase, which was hard to do. After all, it's ~$120 just to mount a monitor on a wall. But when you consider the quality of the product with the ergonomic configurations it offers, it's totally worth the cost. And let's be honest, ergonomics are expensive in general, so this is really not such a terrible price. The product installed relatively smoothly. I did not have a drill bit that could completely bore an 80mm hole to accommodate the massive bolts, but after some ratcheting it all worked out. After that, attaching the VESA mount to the Monitor was a cinch with included thumb screws or, if you don't like thumb screws, Phillips-head screws. But who doesn't like thumb screws? Then it was just a matter of sliding the arms on top of their respective mounts. Adjustments for each of the joints could be easily done with an Allen wrench (provided, if you don't have one). Adjusting the Lx was simple enough. You can tighten the spring-arm so that it can support your monitor weight or you can make the joints stiffer or looser per your preference. I found that the joint to swivel the monitor right and left was a bit stiff even at its loosest, but I don't take issue. The adjustment to tighten the spring-arm is hidden so you'll need to read the manual to find that one. The manual was quite detailed in many respects, but could probably benefit from some proof-reading. There are no explanations -- only diagrams. And not all of the items pictured in the diagrams are accurate. Minor stuff though. They'll have a picture of a Phillips-head screw, but be using a hex Allen wrench in the diagram. The manual is also laid out weird so that it's not completely obvious which diagram is relevant. But the product is fairly simple to install so the shoddy manual is forgivable. I found that the suggestion for a 3/16 drill bit to bore the hole for the 80mm bolts was insufficient. I went a little larger myself. Among that which has already been described, the unit also includes a plastic cover underneath the rear "bone" of the arm to manage cables to your monitor. It clips in nicely to neatly hold strong a decent amount of cable. The arm itself has a very impressive range of motion. When you move it up and down, it moves the VESA mount synchronously to maintain the configured angle of the monitor. The reason I purchased this was because my monitor was too far across my desk and I had to lean over to see causing some major issues with my mouse arm being bent and all. Now I have both newly freed desk space as well as much less pain in my mouse arm. Plus I can see the monitor a lot better. I could have purchased a $40 swing arm to get the job done, but the versatility in being able to raise and lower the monitor on-demand is quite worth it. I highly recommend this product. Positives: - Quality Design - Versatility - Ease of use and installation - Ergonomically pleasing - Aesthetic detail Negatives: - Instruction manual needs work - Only supports up to 20 lbs or 22" monitors

I've been using the Ergotron system in my home office since 2009. The first set of arms I purchased, 2 monitor arms and 2 keyboard arms, have been holding up very well, look great, and work great. I needed to purchase another monitor arm because I added another system to my office setup, and was a little surprised that Ergotron changed the finish - it is now a stainless steel 'like' finish, shiny and polished. This is a step up from a quality appearance from the last version of their product, which is more of an aluminum matte type of finish. I do like them both, and although they mismatch in appearance, I like the appearance of this arm better. *if you are adding to your existing Ergotron arms that have the matte finish, and appearance is an issue for you, you may want to consider this and possibly buy an entire new set - if you have the funds... Ergotron updated the cable management system - it is no longer the "snap-in" system, it is a solid cover now that clips into the arm. It slides and clips. It's a little tricky the first couple times you try it - after you understand how it is put together, it is pretty easy to add/remove cables. Installation is easy, given you have the proper tools - namely, you need a DEEP-WELL SOCKET with a ratchet to bolt this thing onto your wall. Do NOT ATTEMPT without the proper tools, otherwise you will strip the head and get frustrated and leave bad comments like I've seen others do. Black snap-on bolt head covers, along with the sleek new polished steel look of the arm, makes this a beautiful system. The tilt work a bit differently from previous version - more of a slide system moving up and down the rail - but I don't find it better or worse than the previous version arm. I love the system. I don't think you can find a better consumer rated system out there. High quality, functional, looks great.

Almost everything about this arm is amazing. Pros: Sturdy construction Easily interchangeable parts. Easy to dismantle or switch monitors between stations. Properly supports everything described in its specifications. Adjusting the monitors is simple and easy after setting resistance. This arm deserves a 5 star rating... almost. There is a con that I don't understand. Con: Downward tilt on the monitors is nearly non-existent. Maybe there is some property of the way these are engineered which makes letting them tilt down impossible. When I inspect the components, though, I don't see why they couldn't have been made to do so. Under normal circumstances you aren't going to want to be tilting the monitor down anyway. It wouldn't be ergonomic. But these arms are designed for dynamic conditions. Every once in a while you are going to want them up above you and tilted down. Too bad. Not going to happen. Despite my rant about the downward tilt, this monitor arm is stellar. If I ever need another arm where downward tilt is not a critical feature then I will certainly purchase this one.

This product is great, very easy to maneuver around and the movement is very fluid and smooth, doesn't jerk around. It is very easy and simple to install, just make sure you get the two bolts secured into the wood stud in the wall and not just through drywall, drilling a pilot hole for the bolts first help. After getting the bolts and plate secured to the wall, it's only a simple task of stacking the arms on top of each other to get the desired length. I had purchased an extra arm extension to that I could extend my monitor further away. The last step is to just take off the mount on your monitor and attach it to the wall mount. My computer desk is only a few feet away from my bed, so sometimes it is very convenient to just move the monitor and have it faced towards my bed so that I can watch movies on my computer right from my bed, and wireless peripherals make it that much better! Since installing this wall mount, I have not had any worries or problems with it, even with the extension arm, it feels very safe and sturdy. This wall mount is a real space saver, my HP monitor had this gigantic and cumbersome mount that took a lot of space on my desk, now with my monitor floating over my desk, it is a lot more cleaner looking and there is a heck of a lot more room to place whatever other junk I may have on my desk. If you have a cluttered desk, having your monitor float will make it look a whole lot cleaner or at least the illusion of it. Just one caveat that you may need to be aware of, is that because the wall mount can hide the power and HDMI/VGA cables, and any additional wires you may have such as sound or for the usb hub on your monitor, inside its arms, it will shorten the amount of cable length you can work with. For that I would suggest buying longer cables, since your computer and outlet may not be right under where you installed the wall mount. Other than that, this is a great and high quality product, sure to impress anyone!

This is my second Ergotron mount. My first was a desk mount LX, and this wall mount LX is my second. The arm is great but the lag bolts that were given to install the wall mount were subpar. They snapped while installing them as you can see in my picture. I drilled the hole the entire length of the screw and while installing the lag bolt it snapped, rendering the mount useless. I am going back to getting another LX desk mount because those clamp bases are sturdy and well built. Arm is great, but never was able to mount the arm and my monitor.

This thing is the cat's meow. I've installed countless "el cheapo" LCD wall mounts & none of them had self leveling arms or swivel for that matter. None of them were built like this thing is, cast aluminum arms and aluminum wall bracket. You will probably want to loosen the leveling spring with the enclosed Allen wrench before you try to figure out where you want to mount it. It will outlive you if you install it and use it within its listed application. If there is one gripe to be had it would be that the joints are riveted together which would be no issue unless they loosen up over time. I haven't had it that long to determine that would happen. It has built-in cable routing channels and a black cover that clips over the underside of the arm. There are covers for the bracket as well as the open ends of the arm sections to give the clean look by covering up the lag heads. I'm impressed. I've been in the IT business for 20 years and I've never seen such a well made LCD arm. I installed this in my house, in my computer room, to liberate me from the decades of being behind a desk and fighting to find comfortable computer chairs. Seems like computer chairs get more expensive though built with less quality, cheaper materials, and even smaller dimensions. My last straw was investing 300 in a chair and obviously being less than happy with it I decided to go this route. I purchased the keyboard tray and arm from Ergotron as well. I have a Logitech G15 keyboard and it sits on the board but overlaps both sides by about 1-1/2". Not enough to restrict mouse use on the slide pad. I can't quite get it situated where its comfortable just yet. It doesn't have a forward tilt. I have a feeling it will have to go to my local machine shop for some modifications. It tilts up for storage but doesn't tilt any farther down than 90 degrees. That's not good enough typing from a recliner. If it only had 10-15 degrees of forward tilt it'd be perfect too. If its arm joints weren't riveted a modification like this would not be hard. As it is I suspect we'll end up drilling the rivets to separate the joint behind the keyboard and knock off enough material where it hits in the down position to drop it a little more. This modification would definitely void your warranty but it would make the keyboard tray a lot more comfortable for folks that play from a recliner. All in all both products from Ergotron are top notch and worth the price. It's priceless to me, no more back pain from the hunched over the computer desk position. I almost feel a little guilty now for the other folks that are still gaming at their desks and I'm kicking myself for not doing this sooner. =) Update: After having used the keyboard tray for a week or so there are adhesive backed gliding strips under the mouse tray. One of the strips peeled up and got caught inside the keyboard tray, restricting its movement. I was just able to remove that strip from inside the keyboard tray. I would have thought that for 200 dollars nearly the glides would have been of better, longer lasting quality.

Premetto che in un primo momento avevo preso erroneamente la versione con fissaggio su scrivania....poi ho cambiato idea ed Amazon come sempre mi è venuta incontro nella sostituzione senza tante perdite di tempo. In merito a questo articolo devo dire che rappresenta la soluzione perfetta soprattutto in termini di distanza punto di fissaggio muro-piastra vesa. Inoltre puoi acquistare un braccio aggiuntivo di estensione. Nella piastra di fissaggio troverete 6 fori per fissarlo, di cui solo due più grandi per il fissaggio a muro ed i restanti 4 più piccoli per fissaggio a legno. Sconsiglio di usare le 2 viti incluse per il montaggio a muro in quanto hanno una testa molto grande e la sede della piastra di fissaggio ha un incavo di alloggiamento molto piccolo. Arrivati a fine corsa quindi non avrete la possibilità di dare un forte serraggio e potreste ritrovarvi con due bei buchi nel muro ed il sostegno che gioca.

Este equipo es para TODO el mundo. (al estar instalado en un muro cualquier vibración no se transmite al escritorio o vice versa) Esta hecho con mucha calidad, fácil de instalar y fácil de ajustar (mucho cuidado con muros de tabique hueco, vas a necesitar paquetes expansivos y probablemente inyectar concreto al hoyo antes den instalarlo)

Bom dia, Gostei da qualidade do produto e a rápidez no envio do mesmo.

Great monitor arm, holds my 7kg monitor just fine, I even picked up the extension arm. I bought a second one but had the lag screws snap in the wall, so recommend a larger than suggested pilot hole for hard wood frames

Wall mount may not easy but Ergotron is the best.
