What are your favorite monitor arms?

3 months ago by jet to c/battlestations

I'm going to setup a desk station with one vertical monitor on the left, and two stacked horizontal monitors on the right. Monitors are about 7kg so I'm going to need some beefy arms to hold them onto my standing desk.

What monitor arms have you had good / bad experiences with?

I've been looking at the Ergotron items but they are kinda spendy

example setup

Not my photo, but this is roughly what i'm thinking of

When it comes to monitor arms I have only ever bought the absolute cheapest one I could find that reasonably supported my display and I’ve never had an issue

I’m sure there are bad ones but they’re fairly simple devices

Wonderful day!

It's indeed a charm to have a few of workspaces with monitors in portrait standing, especially for source code or chats/socials!

There's a few at works I have at certain places and some in apartments, and if you are searching for a few, I would recommend Humanscale (e.g. M8.1) I trust, and the most of Ergotron, which should be available and are both steady enough that I haven't even had to re-tighten them since the first time I conveniently positioned/mounted them at places, years ago!

Apologies? Should I tell you go fudge yourself, too?

It's sorrowful... that nowadays effort, experience, and finite precious time of people invested in participation and contribution is devalued, obliterated, voided so easily... by those who do not even care...

No, I have not used LLM/"AI" for any of my words, and it's you who act like it @kibblebits@quokk.au , where you could just invest a minute, open my profile, and consider yourself, prior ridiculing and obliterating my words. Yet, no, you just acted like an indifferent bad-mannered moron.

I hope you will never encounter nor meet anyone like yourself, who would not care less about you, your life, your life experience, effort, and you being alive trying to stay accountable and supportive whenever you can and have some time to invest into a casual discussion in-between work/jobs/duties. And in response, you receive one: 1. downvote; 2. "beep boop".

I regret knowing you, and I regret participating in this discussion.
I am not investing my life time and my own life experience shared just to be ridiculed by people like you, and no response by the OP even.

// Edit

No. Indeed. Go f-fudge yourself, you f-fudging moron. Get blocked.
