monitorarmen

Monitorarmen, also known as monitor arms, are mounting devices that attach computer monitors to desks, walls, or other supports and allow adjustable positioning. They typically consist of one or more articulated joints, an extension arm, and a mounting interface that attaches to the monitor or to a VESA plate. Adjustments commonly include height, tilt, swivel, and rotation, enabling landscape or portrait orientation and precise alignment with the user’s line of sight.

Mounting options vary. Desk-mounted arms often use a clamp (C-clamp) or a through-desk grommet mount. Wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted configurations are also available for space-constrained environments. Most monitor arms support VESA mounting patterns, commonly 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm, and have a weight capacity range that typically spans from about 2 kg to 9 kg per monitor, with heavy-duty models reaching higher limits. They are designed to support single or multiple monitors in multi-monitor setups.

Benefits include improved ergonomics, enabling eye-level screen positioning and reduced neck and shoulder strain, plus increased desk space and easier sharing of screens. They also facilitate flexible workflows, quick reconfiguration for collaboration, and better cable management through integrated channels.

Common considerations when choosing a monitorarm include compatibility with the monitor’s VESA pattern and weight, desk or wall mounting options, range of motion, build quality, and cable routing features. Proper installation and adherence to weight limits are important for stability and safety.
