Can this be bolted to a wall or desktop, rather than clamped?
Google E
on Dec 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: this can be bolted to a desktop. It comes with an attachment for that specific application. You will have to drill a hole in the top of your desk to insert the bolt through. And then you'll have to crawl underneath the desk to tighten it. I do not believe that this could be used on a wall.

Not sure about wall, but there are parts in the box to let you use a bolt (included) down from the bottom of the base and through the surface of a desk. I have a built-in desk with no space behind it, so this is how I have mine mounted. Be aware, though, that the base will be offset from the center of the monitor when you push it fully back.

Could this be used to mount a 32" TV? The weight is not an issue, but I'm wondering if the actual mount will fit at TV.
A shopper
on Dec 7, 2016
BEST ANSWER: To determine compatibility with a TV mount to your TV, please determine the VESA mounting pattern on the back of your TV. It is the 4 screw hole square formation on the back and it is usually listed on the TV specs or you can find out by measuring it yourself(measured in millimeters). Our TV mounts range from 50x50mm to 1000x700 and up so please check the TV mount specs for compatibility as well. I hope this helps, thank you!

BEST ANSWER: It's closer to 3 and 3/4" squarish, with the back narrower than the front. My desk is not stout and my monitor is large (34") so I layered a small plywood piece under the desk for reinforcement where the mount clamps.

I'm the original poster. I bought the monitor arm and mounted my Dell U3011 without any problems. Like Roman M said, you just have to tighten the resistance settings on the gas spring. Initially I had them cranked so tight I could barely move the arm, but then I found the sweet-spot and now the monitor moves where I want it with just two fingers. As usual, another solid product from Monoprice.

BEST ANSWER: I have an LG ultra-wide monitor on my arm. I even tried to spin the monitor around (with the back facing me) to see if I could get it lower than the table top. Any way I moved it, It only went down so far such that the bottom of the monitor was at table-top level, not below.

Yes. I have mine clamped to a custom table and am able to swing them pretty low. I would guess that at least half of the monitor can go below the plane they’re clamped to. (I don’t have them here with me so I can’t be absolutely certain how low they go)

No, it wouldn’t work for that. The up/down hinging is only on the “higher” knuckle of the mount, not the knuckle close to the surface mount. So the part closest to the monitor only lowers as far as a few inches above the desk surface.

Is there a wider bracket that can be used for this mount if my desk is thicker and the normal bracket won’t lock to desk?
A shopper
on Mar 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Not that I know of, but you don't have to use the clamp.
The clamp mount wouldn't work with my desk's overhang, so instead I chose to use the simple grommet mount straight through the desktop. To brace my desk's relatively thin surface I added a 6"x6" piece of 3/4" plywood, underneath the desk, drilled to match the bolts. It's clamped down _tight_ and is very stable with my Acer 34"

BEST ANSWER: Can't address the two year question but can give you a one year response. I have had the arm for a year now holding up a 34" monitor and the arm has not failed in any way. The arm has an adjustable screw to adjust for monitor weight. Sitting in front of the monitor and arm right now and the monitor looks like it is floating in the air a couple of inches above the desk, its a pretty cool visual effect.

Base arm does not rotate. The bolt does not budge using a hex wrench. It seems frozen. Any suggestions for how to open the rotation?
Ronald E
on Dec 2, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the base arm only adjusts 270 degrees and would not be able to get a full 360 degree rotation. If this was the issue, the limit is by design.
But if you mean the base arm does not move at all, it's possible that the material might be binding, either because it is still new, possibly from big temperature changes, or maybe from not being used in a long time. if you have penetrating lubricant or WD40, it might be worth putting some in to see if it'll help. Hope this helps, thanks.

A shopper
on Nov 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Hi, this mount will not work as designed if mounted upside down. The gas spring counteracts gravity at the right orientation to allow the monitor to hover, but if upside down, the gas spring will push towards the same direction as gravity and will push the monitor down and prevent easy adjustments. Hope this helps. A different option you might want to consider is to mount a gas spring on a wall. It would still be right side up but could give you options, check out product 16125 if it might work. Hope this helps.

I need to be able to move the monitor's up high in the morning and lower in the afternoons. Is this frequent movement of the monitors quick and easy? Do I need special tools to make the changes or can it all be done by handling the monitor in the direction I intend it to go?

As long as you adjust the tension correctly on the hex screw between the two arms you would have no problem moving the arms on a regular basis.

There would not be a way that we have to get this mount to work with a 200 x 200 VESA TV safely.

How deep is the clamp? My desk has about 1.6" of free space before it hits a metal bar. If the clamp can go over the metal bar, it's no problem, just not sure where the pressure plate on the clamp lines up. Does it cover about 3" underneath the desk? Thanks!

on Nov 23, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Hi, this monitor mount needs around 3" under the desk to be able to clamp on the desk edge. The metal bar you described would probably get in the way if it's that close to the edge. It might be possible to use wood spacers to create a flat bottom around the bar to clamp on. Or you could consider drilling a hole on your desktop to be able to use the included through-hole mounting hardware. Thanks.

How do you prevent the top of the monitor from tilting forward? There isn't a gas adjustment for that piece. I can't seem to tighten it any more than it already is. It's ok for a session at the computer but in the morning I find it tilted forward significantly.

on May 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi, there is a bolt at the top joint that should allow for tightening vertical tilt joint using a hex wrench. Make sure the nut is inside the cutout so it doesn't spin when you tighten the bolt. If you have already adjusted this but it is not holding, it's possible that additional thread locker might be needed so the bolt does not back out on its own or when the monitor is adjusted. Hope this helps.

Is the quick disconnect sold separately? I'd like the female part so I can quickly swap between mounting the monitor on the wall and the articulated arm.

Thanks for the reply! What's the least expensive part you sell that uses the same quick disconnect ? Do to have a non-articulating static wall mount with the same disconnect?

Is this compatible with the Ergotron LX Arm Extension? If no, does Monoprice have their own extension piece?
Nigel T
on Oct 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi, we do not have an extension piece available. But if you need more placement options, you could consider mounting this towards the middle of your desk by using the included through-hole mounting hardware. You would need to drill a 1/4" hole but it would allow you to position the mount closer than the edge of your desk. Alternatively if you have two or three monitors and you want extra long arms, you could consider PID 29406. Thanks for checking.

I have this desk Link: http://a.co/fimtFVo which has metal support bars that run along front and back of the desk. The .875 inch thick tempered glass top anchors to the bars. I have 1 inch of space from the edge of the glass to the support bar and about another 0.5 inches of bar. Will the C-clamp be able to reach past the bar to clamp to my desk, or will it clamp before reaching the support bar?

It holds my 34" Dell Ultrawide without sagging or excessively tight movement. The cable channel is tight but adequate for the power cord, 2 HDMI, and 4 USB cable.

Shaky vesa mount
The arm is firm but the part that holds the monitor is shaky (the vesa part) and is a bit hard to keep the monitor horizontal. Every time I move it, I have to adjust the angle with a lot of delicacy to make sure it doesn't stay twisted. Before you think "you should check the screws in the..." I did. They're all super tight and the problem is on the rotational piece.
Since that's one of the main functions of a "monitor holder", I think this product is just ok.

Solid monitor mounts on a budget
Pretty nice stands. They feel plenty sturdy and were easy to set up and use. A lot of the friction joints (arm pivots, display tilt adjust) are extremely tight, and the monitor bracket uses a plastic clip to hold the displays on, which means there is some slop when adjusting precise tilt. That said, I really appreciate that these stands use a bracket with a clip (rather than screwing the monitor directly to the stand).
I'm holding up a 27" and a 24" monitor which are both well under the weight limit.
For the price, I'd definitely recommend these.

Good stand as long as you don't adjust your monitor too often
This stand is generally pretty good, and I'd even say very good for the price. I also have the ~$100 Amazon basics stand which I will compare it against.
The good:
The range of motion of this stand is very good. It can go higher than the more expensive amazon stand by a good margin. It can reach a comparable horizontal distance as well, if not longer.
The cable management on this stand is better than the Amazon stand as well. I had a much easier time routing the power and HDMI cables through the stand than with the Amazon stand. However, there wasn't much room for more than two cables, so if you have multiple inputs it might not work as well.
I did not have any problems putting together this stand.
The bad:
The base is pretty small. While this means it does not take up much desk space, it also means that the base doesn't hold onto the desk as well. I had to tighten the base an extreme amount, and even then, it moves a little when I adjust the monitor (more on that below). Also, I could see this being a problem with a heavy monitor and a cheap desk. I would be nervous that the desk would break due to the weight of the monitor being put on such a small part of the desk. The amazon stand has a larger base, while still not taking up much room on the top of the desk.
Also, the bottom joint of the stand, where the arm attaches to the base, is very stiff. It does not pivot well, and it is so stiff that the base moves if I try to change the angle of this joint. It is possible that you could lubricate it, but I have not tried. The amazon stand uses a different kind of base which does not have this problem, and that makes the Amazon stand much easier to adjust.
Conclusion:
For the price, this stand is not a bad choice, as long as you don't want to adjust your monitor too much. It is very good when you just want your monitor in one position all the time. However, if you want to move your monitor often, I suggest looking for a different stand. The Amazon basics stand would be a good choice if you don't mind the price and the other drawbacks.

Great product
Typical Monoprice, great product at a great price. Only note is the tilt bolt was a real monster to get tight enough to not sag (my monitor is almost at the max supported weight) but once it was set I haven't had any issues. Would definitely recommend

Great, but one small
I love it. It works great, but I have one small problem. One of the plastic rails used for cable management broke off during assembly. Any chance I can pay for a replacement without buying the full arm again?
