Watch Next: The Last Video You'll Need Before Buying a Monitor Arm - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXh1rsGnncXAZrA.html

THANK YOU! Finally someone has provided us all who own a Samsung Odyssey 49" series monitor with products to compare/consider.

You guys are damn life savers! I don't know why your channel isn't over 1M subs. Video quality is exceptional and in depth. I built my custom 80x30 black walnut desk based on your review of the Fully Jarvis frame and it's the best thing to ever happen to my WFH office.

Thank you for this, very useful !

I've been using the Ergotron on the PG48UQ and love it. I grabbed it in black and it looks great . I checked out the M10 and liked it as well... but It came down to aesthetics for me. I didn't want a gloss back base. I will also say that the Ergotron is a beefier, more utilitarian design and I love the look of it. And yes, that quick connect mount is very overengineered. I would say it's indestructible under normal means.

I honestly can't imagine why anyone would pick the M10 besides having "f u money" though. Quite a huge price jump for marginal improvements over the competition imho.

good review, I was all prepped to buy the HX but saw this and now going to go for the Vivo. The look is not really important as long as it does the job. Thanks for saving me 500 bucks (I need 2)!

Hello, Thank You For The Tests. I would choose the Ergotron HX.

Thanks so much for this content. Glad to see there's a solid $100 option - wish we knew how it held up long term compared to the more premium options, and what other little or big features/annoyances might emerge over time.

The clear upper cable management brackets are behind the monitor anyway, I think it makes it easier to identify cables when rerouting. In my opinion it is a very nice feature

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience with these monitor arms. It's really helpful to get a hands-on perspective. I've been considering upgrading my monitor setup, and your review has given me some valuable insights. The Model Price arm seems quite robust, but the bulkiness might be a concern for me. I appreciate your honest assessment of the Vivo Premium arm, especially considering its budget-friendly price. It's good to know that it can handle larger monitors effectively. The AVLT arm's unique feature with USB and AUX ports is intriguing, but the setup complexity might be a drawback. The Ergotron HX's premium quality and quick-connect system certainly catch my eye, but I'm a bit disappointed with the cable management. The Human Scale M10 sounds impressive in terms of build quality and cable management, but the price is quite steep. Your video has been informative, and I'll definitely consider these options when I make my decision. Thanks again for sharing your findings!

Thanks for the test. I think it's worth mentioning that the Ergotron HX comes in two different versions: The HD pivot (which you apparently got) for large curved screens and the normal pivot for flat screens. Because of the large range of force needed to keep the different monitors horizontal, it seems they needed to design two versions to completely cover it

@Adam4

6 ай бұрын

Correct, and if they would've looked at Ergotron's marketing, they'd see the minimum weight for the HD Pivot is advertised as 28lb. The Dell S3222DGM they're using in the video only weighs 22.4lb. Kind of unfair to give it a bad rap because you didn't read the specs before buying.

Thanks for this information… I was looking on amazon and was unsure what the difference is. I was looking for one that will support a c3 lg 42 inch. Which is just 21.6 lbs. Good to know the one that is cheaper is the one I need. It makes sense that the added weight curved monitors have out in front of the mount cause the center of gravity to put more tension on the spring. I guess you could always strap weights to the monitor that are hidden if you really need to though. I like the idea that i will be able to hang heavier things on this in the future.

4:26 actually there was a quick connect system. Screw half way top two screws into monitor and hang it on the arm. Then secure bottom screws and tighten top ones. Usually it works both for 75 and 100 mm VESA mounts, but in this case for 100 mm only.

Excellent video. Are you planning to do an updated video about dual monitor arms?

So glad to see this video come out, I tried to find an arm for my 49 when I first got it (2 years ago!) but.... no joy This makes me want the Humanscale, but on a monoprice budget. I guess I'll have to decide what to compromise on. If this was going on a standing desk (movement and shaking) would that change your pick?

The black WALI Monitor arm is similar to the VIVO arm, it's probably made in the same factory, but WALI have a grey and white version which allows you to tighten the clamp from the top rather then having to screw it tight from beneath the desk. The clamp works the same as the clamp for secretlab's monitor arm, it's definitely the all desk clamps should be made.

AVLT's previous model (the AVLT-DM42-1, the one in the video is the AVLT-DM64-1) is good enough for most 49" super ultrawides and is $100 cheaper. I'm using the AVLT-DM42-1 for my Samsung CRG9 and I've had no issues with it so far. The CRG9 is 25.6 lbs and the monitor arm is rated for 33 lbs. The main reason why I went with the AVLT over the Monoprice and Vivo is that it comes in white to match my desk setup. Edit: Forgot to mention that the AVLT-DM42-1 also comes with the quick connect feature like the Monoprice and Vivo.

Waooo that's exactly what I was searching, thank you!

I've been using ergotron LXs for yars, I have 4 of them for a total of 8 arms ( two per stand )... I may have lost track of how many arms I actually have though. Costly, but great and many adjustment settings!

I have the one in white in start of video. Exact same but mine is north bayou...I notice most are chinese models just rebranded with many different names. It holds my 40" innocn 21x9 and now it has my LG C2...zero issues. Both VERY heavy too.

Chapters/sections for each product would be cool :)

amazing review, i will definitely save for the humanscale since the whole point of monitor arms in my opinion is to not see it and this one looks the most sleek

@1:00 I would imagine that the monitor itself came with standoffs just for this in the box. I have two MSI 27" QD monitors and had to use the standoffs as well because otherwise I couldn't slide the monitor on the quick hanging hinge.

that would have been interesting to compare them at the end and give your advice/opinion, I ordered yesterday a clone of the vivo premium btw

thanks for the test! the wall mounted ergotron tilts down only 5° which prevents it from beeing mounted higher on the wall, which is a little unfortunate.

Enjoyed the video. Looking to upgrade my workspace in a number of ways, I'l like to get a good monitor arm setup that can work with two monitors. Do you have any videos featuring dual (or even triple) monitor setups?

Something to say about the Monoprice HD - the fact that only has two pivots, means the screen can't stay centered if you pull it up or down, or towards you. That's a pretty big no-go for 'congested' desks, multimonitor setups or things like graphic tablets, which need to move forward. I went for a Ergotron LX for my 24" / 9kg graphics tablet, so it can double as a secondory monitor or be pulled or the way forward, angled way back, with the bottom of the screen standing on the desk to be useful for drawing. It's lovely!

If you have two 'arms', like the ergotron, you can pull forward straight, and have much more flexibility.

6:55 that's because the HX is pretty much for monitors at the max weight. The hinge is compensating for how heavy the monitor is. Put a monitor on there that doesnt hit the max weight and it will keep tilting up

@gagarin777

I had 2 Ergotron HX's. I would say that there is definitely some variance between the units. One on lowest spring setting would keep the neck joint in horizontal position on it's own (no monitor attached). The other would keep tilting up around 30 degrees at the lowest setting whenever I managed to push it to horizontal position by hand and a lot of force. However both on lowest settings on this neck joint keep LG C2 42' (which is about 10kg, the lowest range for HX) in a position I desire, without tilting the screen up. My guess is size does matter as physically bigger screen just applies more leverage. I also had tried HD pivot replacement header and that couldn't be adjusted to keep position with this TV, it would always tilt up. HD pivot header has stronger spring (hd has 16 coils vs 18 on normal, but the spring wire is much thicker). It's only for heavily curved monitors with edges that expand a lot from flat plane, causing a lot of leverage on the neck joint.

Brilliant 🥂🥂🤙🤙😃😃 simple and straight up.

Did wanna comment before but I swear, this is exactly what I have been looking for, the best arm that can carry the G9.

Does the VIVO one allow you to freely adjust the tilt or do you have to adjust and lock-Thanks, great review

Nice video! Technically the first 3 models come from the same monitor arm supplier in Asian region. So their clamps and other details are similar.

i have 2 usb ports built into my arms, i run the arms ports right up to to the monitors usb ports and run a usb to the comp from the monitor basically taking one of the ports that are a pain to get at on the monitor and turning them into usable ports on the arm

I had the vivo mount. It lasted 3 months before my Samsung G9 weight was to much for it. I walked into to the room to find my monitor drooping. I got lucky, after that I looked at some comments about it and people were talking about how the hinge point failed on theirs also but they walked into the room to a broken monitor on the ground

Any worries on the mounts and the table for such Heavy Duty, High Weight monitors?

You missed a good arm. I used to use a Humanscale M8 but I switched to a Flo Plus from Colebrook Bosson Saunders / Herman Miller. I find it much smoother to adjust than the Humanscale. Use it on my 34-43" monitors.

Unrelated question but do you have any infos on the release of the Steelcase Karman? Looking forward for the review!

Hi, would be great to see a review of monitor arms that don't have a clamp at the back - my desk has a massive bar and cable tray and much as I'd love to, none of these systems work for me.

I wonder what the name brand multi monitor heavy duty arms are like. I saw an option from imovr that was motorized which looked cool, but it wasn't heavy duty rated. Only supported around 20 pounds per arm which seemed to be about average for non heavy duty arms.

Just ordered my second ergotron. It’s been working well on a 55” OLED and hopefully it’s not too heavy duty for the 42” OLED I’m going to put on it. It’s so stable compared to others and the look makes my desk look amazing.

Hi there, I purchased the Ergotron 45-647-216 HX Desk Monitor Arm with HD Pivot for my Titan 30 inch curved wide screen monitor as the single Loctek arm couldn't support the weight of the screen. I had notice over the last few months that the screen gradually tilted downwards and I had to constantly retighten. Would the Ergotron monitor arm fit my 30inch screen? Yes, I did do some research but didn't see anything etc

Hmmm so it appears adjustment is something people do with these arms? I'm looking to buy some but I will set them up once and never move them again. It's good to know I might not need something very expensive

Chapters would be very nice

I pretty much have settled on Ergotron monitor arms for myself. I have bought less expensive a couple of times and was completely disappointed. The monitors were only 60% of the rated monitor load weight rating, but failed. Even after tightening everything, the monitor would sag down and/or the monitor would tilt down. Maybe for a small very light weight monitor would by another brand. The other thing to consider is how they hold up a few month down the road as well. Surprised that the Ergotron that you tested had such poor cable management. I also have the Ergotron holding my LG 42" 4K monitor and has been rock solid for over 4 years now. I paid $320.00 CDN for it back then, hard to swallow, but worth it. The mast is 18" high with a 2 section arm, so lots of force being put on it. Very smooth to move around and position the monitor for various viewing depending on my needs.

But Invision say that the max450 will only work up to 35 inches, that the weight distribution in wider monitors means that the mx450 will not properly support them. I know, I asked and they replied: “While the MX450 would be suitable for both the weight and VESA size of your screen, unfortunately, your screen is much larger than the capacity for this monitor arm which is 35" and therefore would not be suitable. In addition to this, we've discovered that some of these much larger, wider or curved screens are much deeper in overall screen thickness and are also bottom heavy in design. This combination and the centre of gravity is much further forward than normal, which in turn, exerts much more leveraged weight or force onto the tilt function. ”

Happy there are more options these days, but I can personally vouch for the durability and capability of Ergotron HX. They make my faviorte heavy duty monitor arm. Ergotron offers arms for every size and monitor wedight. If you had problems with the arm, your monitor was not heavy enough and you should have chosen a different model arm.
