monoprice desk mount for 2 lcd displays manufacturer

Mounted 2 Dell monitors. They were sell within the limit for weight.. The instructions could use some change. The end pieces must be taken off to insert the mounting plates into the arms. the mounting plates for ease of installation should be test fit to the monitors so to make sure you have the spacing correct to allow mounting the monitors onto the bracket once you"ve placed it into the arm channel. The Drawing in step 3 shows the bracket with the solid mounting plate located on top. For ease of mounting I placed the slotted part of the plate at the top. The Lock Collar mechanism is weak. It is easy to misalign the threads and the weight of two monitors allows it to slide down the pole. I found I needed to add painters tape around the pole in line with the locking collar to keep the arms at the height I wanted. Locking collar no matter how hard I tried would not engage its threads uniformly, they are just to wide apart to prevent binding as the collar twist out of alignment as you tighten it. Other than this it works great.

I purchased this mount to stack monitors for my Digital Color grading suite. After purchasing a 3rd monitor for critical color evaluation, I found there simply wasn"t enough lateral space to accommodate the new 27 inch monitor with my other 24 and 25 inch monitors; I had to go up to be able to use all three on my current desk.

I suggest you purchase a small tube of Loctite screw thread locker (or use some fingernail polish in a pinch), back out the main screws that hold the collars that hold the VESA mounts to the pole and lock these screws down TIGHT before attempting assembly or they might loosen up and allow the monitor to swivel horizontally after mounting the monitors.

Also, since the metal parts look as if they are powder coated, the screw holes on some mating surfaces might be a bit difficult to get started, so before you are trying to balance a monitor and start a screw into a mating hole, run these screws in and out of them to clear out any manufacturing over spray in the threaded holes. Makes life easier...

If you are doing this by yourself, as I did, I found the easiest way to mount the bottom monitor to the poles were to attache the VESA mounts to the monitor, stand the monitor on its side, resting on the desktop and then bolt the VESA mount to the collar. You only then have to pivot the monitor to horizontal and then tighten the collar around the stand pipe. The top monitor should be assembled to the VESA plate, attached to the collar, roughly leveled and then lowered over the pole to the correct height. It"s tricky but it can be done by one person.

Be prepared to spend some time adjusting and re-adjusting the height, tilt and level of each monitor to get them just right, as they lock in place and are not adjustable when fully tightened. Also, be aware that if one of your monitors has a connection you use that sticks out the back of the monitor at a 90 degree angle in line directly under the VESA mount, you will have trouble tilting the monitor down. My uppermost monitor had such a cable and it took some finessing to get it in place with the stiff video cable sticking out and hitting the support pole, but I was able to make it work.

My only concern now is that I might have a stiff neck from looking up at the top monitor for long periods, but considering my other options (basically none), I"ll have to learn how to deal with it...

Excellent question. Inside the bracket to the inside edge of the disc is only 1/2". Obviously in your case that will not clear. The disc itself is almost 1-7/8" in diameter as well.

You could put the mounting bracket "backwards" and use the holes to screw it in to the desk, rather than being clamped. I did not need to do this, but that obviously would not be as secure, depending on how well the screws bit in to the desk.

These stands will fall forward when you attempt to mount an Alienware AW3418DW 34 inch ultrawide when using an acceptable amount of force to tighten the tension washers. It is possible to make this stand work, but not really and it is a pain in the butt.

I was unable to get this stand to work due to the way the bolt system is designed using the tightening system -- as is. It is impossible to get the bolt tight enough without the nut sliding out of the poorly designed hole that holds it in place. After tightening these to the max, the result is a monitor that falls forward and a nut/bolt that spins in place.

The gap next to the nut isn"t wide enough for a standard craftsman crescent wrench to fit in without scratching/bending the metal, but that will be the only way to tighten this. I was able to tighten the joint enough after using an 8 inch crescent wrench and 8 inch wrench with torque bit. I had to put an insane amount of on the bolt in order to get the joint to not fall forward - we are talking lug nut lbs of force here. My hands hurt.

There is no cable holder when using the through hole mount, but there is one for the edge mount. This leaves me feeling a bit shorted, since I use the through hole mount. I had to make my own cable holder to pull the cables together from each arm.

I like the finish and style of this monitor arm. And I was finally able to get it to work, but not without scaring up the back of the mount near the monitor and some ungodly troubleshooting and over-tightening.

--A larger plate for the through hole mount (the current mount plate slips too easily during arm adjustment because of the amount of force needed to rotate the first joint) even after tightening the hand screw to be probably too tight

Is this monitor affordable? Yes. Does it look nice? Yes. Is it a legitimate solution with the quoted specs? That"s a big maybe. You can probably get it to work, but it"s not going to be easy if you have a monitor over 15lbs.

Free space on your desk and gain improved ergonomics by using this Adjustable Tilting Monitor Desk Mount Bracket from Monoprice! Using a desk mount bracket provides additional desk space by moving the monitor above the desk.

Alternatively, it can be fixed to a grommet screwed into the top of the mounting surface. The mount features two jointed 22.8" extension arms, which allows you to position your monitors at exactly the right height, angle, and distance. The monitors can be tilted and rotated, allowing for easy conversion between landscape and portrait mode. It fits two monitors up to 17.6 lbs. weight each with either a 75x75 or 100x100 VESA mounting pattern. Features: Fits two monitors with VESA 75x75 and 100x100 mounting patterns Tilts +/- 15 degrees Rotates 360 degrees allowing for easy portrait or landscape orientation Two jointed 22.8" extension arm Height adjustable to about 11.8" Clamps to surfaces up to 4.5" thick Alternate grommet mounting option Includes cable management clips

There is no question that the Workstream by Monoprice is a serious piece of metal, which you can trust with even a large ultrawide monitor.  The construction is solid, the assembly process easy and the gas spring works exactly as it should.  It is also a very large monitor arm, which means that for smaller desks it is a little much, unless you have a keyboard tray you can slide out to give you a bit more room.  As well the height would allow you to turn just about any desk into a standing desk just by lifting the Workstream up and adding in a stand to bring your mouse and keyboard into reach.  If you have a deep desk, then you would be much more comfortable, and would reclaim a serious amount of space as well if you had brought your current monitor in from the back of your desk.  As long as it isn’t more than 3.3″ that is.

The other impressive thing about the Workstream for it’s $85.99 price tag is the fact it can rotate 90 degrees from landscape to portrait, in addition to the tilt and swivel.  At this price point you would generally not have that freedom, not to mention the ability to support large sized monitors.  If your desk can handle the size of the Workstream, it is hard to find a better deal on such a dexterous monitor arm.
