Ergotron – LX Single Monitor Arm, VESA Wall Mount – for Monitors Up to 34 Inches, 7 to 25 lbs – Matte Black

I just did a big office upgrade from a cheap standing desk with desk-mounted monitor arms to a fully custom built in desk. In the process, I lost the ability to desk-mount a monitor arm since my desk now sits flush to the wall. I got used to not using a stock monitor mount that sits on the desk which look terrible and use up tons of desk space, so I knew I still wanted a mountable monitor arm and found this wall-mountable one. At first, I was skeptical about weight capacity but also annoying things like the monitor turning or moving due to gravity. Turns out this arm is not only fantastic and without any of those issues, but is much, much nicer than the expensive desk-mount monitor arm I was using before. It's rock solid, doesn't move or vibrate at all while typing, and stays perfectly in place when adjusting the monitor. And my weight capacity concerns were completely unnecessary, this mount can clearly support a lot more weight than my 27" LG ULTRAGEAR+ monitor. And installation was super easy, hardest part is just committing to the height. 10/10 love this arm!

I bought this to replace an arm that I had been using for over 15 years and finally gave it up. It only died because of a manufacturing defect that took that long to break. This arm is a similar design, but much more sleek and stylish. It has more vertical and extension distances and the friction settings were perfect right out of the box. It looks good and is heavy duty, using aluminum alloy parts. Now for the modification part. My screen is above me when I'm in my easy chair, so it needs to tip down. Several other reviewers have complained that it only tips down a slight amount, and it's true. It's right there in the spec. For some unknown reason they bent a couple small tabs from the steel part of the pivot so they hit against the aluminum casting to limit the tip. It would be easy to grind the tabs off or grind the aluminum down with a dremel tool, but that would scatter metal dust and grinding powder all over and make a mess. Instead, I took a small pair of vise grips and took a deep grip on the tab, but not real tight, and used a bit of squeezing and bending to straighten it up about 2/3 of the way. Then I took a tighter grip with the end of the tool right at the bend point and straightened it almost all the way. Finally I took another deep grip that was tight to smooth out the metal at the bend. Do that for both sides and in about 10 minutes your screen will pivot down, and there's no mess and nothing to paint. They could have eliminated a manufacturing step and produced a better project. What were they thinking? I haven't noticed any side effects. It holds the wires better than my other arm, and was 1/3 the price.

I've been using the Ergotron system in my home office since 2009. The first set of arms I purchased, 2 monitor arms and 2 keyboard arms, have been holding up very well, look great, and work great. I needed to purchase another monitor arm because I added another system to my office setup, and was a little surprised that Ergotron changed the finish - it is now a stainless steel 'like' finish, shiny and polished. This is a step up from a quality appearance from the last version of their product, which is more of an aluminum matte type of finish. I do like them both, and although they mismatch in appearance, I like the appearance of this arm better. *if you are adding to your existing Ergotron arms that have the matte finish, and appearance is an issue for you, you may want to consider this and possibly buy an entire new set - if you have the funds... Ergotron updated the cable management system - it is no longer the "snap-in" system, it is a solid cover now that clips into the arm. It slides and clips. It's a little tricky the first couple times you try it - after you understand how it is put together, it is pretty easy to add/remove cables. Installation is easy, given you have the proper tools - namely, you need a DEEP-WELL SOCKET with a ratchet to bolt this thing onto your wall. Do NOT ATTEMPT without the proper tools, otherwise you will strip the head and get frustrated and leave bad comments like I've seen others do. Black snap-on bolt head covers, along with the sleek new polished steel look of the arm, makes this a beautiful system. The tilt work a bit differently from previous version - more of a slide system moving up and down the rail - but I don't find it better or worse than the previous version arm. I love the system. I don't think you can find a better consumer rated system out there. High quality, functional, looks great.

This is a seriously nice product. There are few wall-mount swing arms that offer the versatility of the Ergotron Lx. And there are even fewer that compete at this price, which is substantial but worth it in my opinion. Right out of the box, you can tell that this is a quality product. From the heavy 80mm hardened steel mounting bolts, to the mounting wall anchor with plastic vanity covers for the bolts, to the precision movement in the arm itself, there is no doubt that you are getting what you pay for. The Ergotron Lx both looks nice and feels nice. I am very happy with my purchase, which was hard to do. After all, it's ~$120 just to mount a monitor on a wall. But when you consider the quality of the product with the ergonomic configurations it offers, it's totally worth the cost. And let's be honest, ergonomics are expensive in general, so this is really not such a terrible price. The product installed relatively smoothly. I did not have a drill bit that could completely bore an 80mm hole to accommodate the massive bolts, but after some ratcheting it all worked out. After that, attaching the VESA mount to the Monitor was a cinch with included thumb screws or, if you don't like thumb screws, Phillips-head screws. But who doesn't like thumb screws? Then it was just a matter of sliding the arms on top of their respective mounts. Adjustments for each of the joints could be easily done with an Allen wrench (provided, if you don't have one). Adjusting the Lx was simple enough. You can tighten the spring-arm so that it can support your monitor weight or you can make the joints stiffer or looser per your preference. I found that the joint to swivel the monitor right and left was a bit stiff even at its loosest, but I don't take issue. The adjustment to tighten the spring-arm is hidden so you'll need to read the manual to find that one. The manual was quite detailed in many respects, but could probably benefit from some proof-reading. There are no explanations -- only diagrams. And not all of the items pictured in the diagrams are accurate. Minor stuff though. They'll have a picture of a Phillips-head screw, but be using a hex Allen wrench in the diagram. The manual is also laid out weird so that it's not completely obvious which diagram is relevant. But the product is fairly simple to install so the shoddy manual is forgivable. I found that the suggestion for a 3/16 drill bit to bore the hole for the 80mm bolts was insufficient. I went a little larger myself. Among that which has already been described, the unit also includes a plastic cover underneath the rear "bone" of the arm to manage cables to your monitor. It clips in nicely to neatly hold strong a decent amount of cable. The arm itself has a very impressive range of motion. When you move it up and down, it moves the VESA mount synchronously to maintain the configured angle of the monitor. The reason I purchased this was because my monitor was too far across my desk and I had to lean over to see causing some major issues with my mouse arm being bent and all. Now I have both newly freed desk space as well as much less pain in my mouse arm. Plus I can see the monitor a lot better. I could have purchased a $40 swing arm to get the job done, but the versatility in being able to raise and lower the monitor on-demand is quite worth it. I highly recommend this product. Positives: - Quality Design - Versatility - Ease of use and installation - Ergonomically pleasing - Aesthetic detail Negatives: - Instruction manual needs work - Only supports up to 20 lbs or 22" monitors

This is an Ergotron arm, so it is of course going to be one of the most reliable monitor arms on the market. That being said, there are a few minor annoyances that hold it back from being truly great. First off, the arm has cable management channels, but it requires you to use zip-ties in the upper half of the arm; the mounting holes aren’t large enough to fit even a small Velcro tie through. The lower half of the arm uses a plastic sheath, but I wish that the plastic was both thicker and used a sturdier clasping mechanism. If you have thick cables or multiple cables going to your monitor, they can pull the plastic cover off when you move the arm side to side. My second gripe with this arm is the wall mounted base. While it is small and easy to hold up while mounting since the base is separate from the arm, there are no square edges anywhere on the base; every side is rounded. This means that leveling the base is nearly impossible, since you can never be completely confident that you’re holding the level perfectly straight, it could be off by a degree or two. I’d like to see a revision of this product with a flattened top or bottom edge. (or better yet, an integrated level) As for the actual functionality of the arm though, it is top-notch. The arm feels durable and sturdy, and is capable of holding up fairly heavy monitors with a moderate curve. I’m using an Alienware AW3423DW with it which is about 16lbs. I have had no issues adjusting the monitor at all; all the adjustment screws are easy to reach with the appropriate tool. I do wish the arm had a way to store the Allen keys used to adjust the gas arm pressure and tensions. Pros: - Sturdy, high quality parts and materials. - Easy to adjust - Zero wobble - Excellent range of motion Cons: - Upper arm uses zip ties for cable management. - Lower arm cable management sheath is flimsy and pops out easily under tension. - Wall mounted base is difficult to level because of the curved edges.

This product is great, very easy to maneuver around and the movement is very fluid and smooth, doesn't jerk around. It is very easy and simple to install, just make sure you get the two bolts secured into the wood stud in the wall and not just through drywall, drilling a pilot hole for the bolts first help. After getting the bolts and plate secured to the wall, it's only a simple task of stacking the arms on top of each other to get the desired length. I had purchased an extra arm extension to that I could extend my monitor further away. The last step is to just take off the mount on your monitor and attach it to the wall mount. My computer desk is only a few feet away from my bed, so sometimes it is very convenient to just move the monitor and have it faced towards my bed so that I can watch movies on my computer right from my bed, and wireless peripherals make it that much better! Since installing this wall mount, I have not had any worries or problems with it, even with the extension arm, it feels very safe and sturdy. This wall mount is a real space saver, my HP monitor had this gigantic and cumbersome mount that took a lot of space on my desk, now with my monitor floating over my desk, it is a lot more cleaner looking and there is a heck of a lot more room to place whatever other junk I may have on my desk. If you have a cluttered desk, having your monitor float will make it look a whole lot cleaner or at least the illusion of it. Just one caveat that you may need to be aware of, is that because the wall mount can hide the power and HDMI/VGA cables, and any additional wires you may have such as sound or for the usb hub on your monitor, inside its arms, it will shorten the amount of cable length you can work with. For that I would suggest buying longer cables, since your computer and outlet may not be right under where you installed the wall mount. Other than that, this is a great and high quality product, sure to impress anyone!

Every once in a while a product comes through your life that dramatically improves it. I have a piano keyboard for a desk. There are times that I want to read/write using a "traditional" music stand, but there are times that I want to read/write using my computer. I used to have my computer monitor just off to the side of my music stand, but I found my neck would start hurting after a while (i.e. my body is squared to the keyboard but my head is turned to the right to see my monitor). The Ergotron LX is so flexible, that I can literally put it anywhere I want it with just a quick motion -- no loosening and tighting the joints because it's all counter balanced with tension springs. I mounted it to the wall behind my music stand, so the arm would go around it. Now I can position the monitor in front, above, or to the side and angle it to match with one motion. The arm is wall mounted with lag bolts (included) that go right into the stud. I would not recommend trying to butterfly anchor in between studs, because the dry wall may fatigue over time as you move the monitor around (there will be a bit of tension on the mount). I would also recommend using a socket (as advised in the mounting instructions) for driving the lag bolts into the stud (you still need to pre-drill), because the holes are sunken for a flush finish and a open end wrench, pliers, or channel locks will only go so far. My delivery was as expected, and the Ergotron LX showed up as new. I'm very pleased with the shipping and handling, the product, and the price. I'm very satisfied with what I bought!

This is my second Ergotron mount. My first was a desk mount LX, and this wall mount LX is my second. The arm is great but the lag bolts that were given to install the wall mount were subpar. They snapped while installing them as you can see in my picture. I drilled the hole the entire length of the screw and while installing the lag bolt it snapped, rendering the mount useless. I am going back to getting another LX desk mount because those clamp bases are sturdy and well built. Arm is great, but never was able to mount the arm and my monitor.

Premetto che in un primo momento avevo preso erroneamente la versione con fissaggio su scrivania....poi ho cambiato idea ed Amazon come sempre mi è venuta incontro nella sostituzione senza tante perdite di tempo. In merito a questo articolo devo dire che rappresenta la soluzione perfetta soprattutto in termini di distanza punto di fissaggio muro-piastra vesa. Inoltre puoi acquistare un braccio aggiuntivo di estensione. Nella piastra di fissaggio troverete 6 fori per fissarlo, di cui solo due più grandi per il fissaggio a muro ed i restanti 4 più piccoli per fissaggio a legno. Sconsiglio di usare le 2 viti incluse per il montaggio a muro in quanto hanno una testa molto grande e la sede della piastra di fissaggio ha un incavo di alloggiamento molto piccolo. Arrivati a fine corsa quindi non avrete la possibilità di dare un forte serraggio e potreste ritrovarvi con due bei buchi nel muro ed il sostegno che gioca.

Este equipo es para TODO el mundo. (al estar instalado en un muro cualquier vibración no se transmite al escritorio o vice versa) Esta hecho con mucha calidad, fácil de instalar y fácil de ajustar (mucho cuidado con muros de tabique hueco, vas a necesitar paquetes expansivos y probablemente inyectar concreto al hoyo antes den instalarlo)

Bom dia, Gostei da qualidade do produto e a rápidez no envio do mesmo.

Great monitor arm, holds my 7kg monitor just fine, I even picked up the extension arm. I bought a second one but had the lag screws snap in the wall, so recommend a larger than suggested pilot hole for hard wood frames

Wall mount may not easy but Ergotron is the best.
