Ergotron – HX Premium Heavy Duty Monitor Arm, Single Monitor VESA Desk Mount – for Flat or Slight Curved Ultrawide Monitors Up to 49 inches, 9.1-19.1kg – Standard Pivot, White (45-475-216)BIFMA LEVELBIFMA LEVELBIFMA LEVEL

After many years of using sub-standard monitor mounts and after much research I opted for the Ergotron HX for my Apple Thunderbolt display and I am not disappointed - quite the opposite, to the extent that I felt compelled to write this review. There is a reassuring heft to the arm, it is extremely well designed and engineered such that I could put it together by myself, within 20 minutes. The range of motion is excellent, I can sit, stand and swivel my monitor to suit as well as rotate landscape or portrait, or even tuck it flush against my wall to maximise desk space. I opted to mount it on the desk grommet and previous arms I have used have all eventually worn away due to the extremely heavy Apple monitor (~10kg), but this is, so far, flawless. The instructions seemed confusing at first, but I just followed the diagrams and it is fairly logical. You get an extremely wide assortment of screws and extensions to suit most Vesa mount sizes (though I did have to buy a separate Vesa adaptor for the Apple display), as well as the tools you need to get the job done. The cable tidy is effective-ish, though the plastic cover could have been metal, but I am really just nitpicking now. Thumbs up

I purchased this monitor arm following some reviews on YouTube as to its suitability for supporting ultrawide screen monitors. I work with an LG 49WL95C ultra wide monitor that comes in with a weight of approx 29Ibs (12.6Kg) alongside the big real estate desktop space that I need for my work. The Ergotron arm copes with this monitor with ease. It's solid construction holds the monitor steady at various heights with ease and it provides good tilt motion movement. The arm also gives you the option to rotate the monitor from a horizontal to vertical position if you wish. Building the unit is not too difficult and can be done by one person for the majority of it. It's only when you come to fix the arm to the monitor itself at the end that you ideally need that second person to assist. The unit is finished in a high quality matt white and provides some basic cable management options in the frame itself.Overall I am very happy with this monitor arm. It is a solid and sturdy unit that easily holds the screen in whatever position you want and only occupies a small footprint on your desk, especially when compared to the stand that the monitor ships with.

I have the Samsung G9 and cheaped out on a monitor arm the first time around. It just couldn't hold the monitors weight and constantly tilted down and took forever to get back into the exact perfect spot to stay up again.This one however holds it up without an struggle. You can tell it's much higher quality and very robust. The springs in it are HUGE and well greased.The cable routing has reusable velcro style loops which I really like.It was also very easy to mount to monitor onto as a single person. You attach a backplate to the vesa mount on the monitor and then the backplate slides into the monitor arm.If you've ever tried to hold a 12kg monitor up to a hole and screw it in at the same time you know the pain lol. You don't have to do that with this oneIt is quite expensive. You can get a monitor arm for £50 but it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as this one

Really very pleased with this dual mount arm. After reading the reviews and considering many other options decided to give it a go and glad I did. It's on the pricey side but you do get your moneys worth. It looks very smart and is very sturdy. I like that you adjust the tension on various movements so that whatever monitors you install you get a fluid movement and the position stays. No drooping over time. A little fiddly to get right initially but worth it. Cable routing is also pretty good. Not perfect but good enough in my humble opinion and I'm fairly fussy about cables. I have the back of the monitors facing the open room so it needs to look neat. Debated as to whether to give it 5 or 4 but concluded as it wasn't perfect I needed to make it 4. Close call.

What can I say, soon found out what I was paying for. Having bought a different so called heavy duty arm for My Samsung CRG9 that failed miserably when it came to adjusting tilt because it just could not take the weight.I opted to take the plunge and buy the Ergotron HX HD. This arm is a monster so much so I have not really had to adjust anything due to the strength of this arm. It's extremely well built solid cast metal, and not flimsy like some of the other arms on the market, it is also straight forward to assemble.I highly recommended this arm if you have a heavy Ultrawide screen monitor, your jaw will drop if you have had other arms previously when you first take it out of its packaging. 5* all round from Me.

I deliberated for a while on this one due to the cost and the fact you can get cheaper options. After reading the reviews about the build quality I took the plunge and I’m so pleased I did.From the moment you open the box and start assembling it, you can just tell it’s robust. The adjustable tension settings mean you can get things just perfect whether your widescreen monitor is large or small. It stays put, it doesn’t wobble, and it’s very secure attached to the desk, even with just the clamps. If it’s in your budget, go for it. You’ll be pleased you did
