More stable than setting a monitor on a stand

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016

I have added the monitor stand to my stand up desk. At first, I used the 4” clamp and I liked that I was able to come up with a way to test this out. With the 4” clamp, the Height-Adjustable Standing Desk - VARIDESK Pro Plus 36 - Black could not go down all of the way, but I was ok with that. This weekend I drilled a hole in the top portion of the desk and attached the mount using the 4” grommet. Now the stand up desk is fully adjustable.

When I ordered the mount, I didn’t realize that the 4” grommet would work for passing it through a desk with a hole in it. I think that is helpful feature for those of you that have a desk where you cannot clamp and don’t want to drill a hole.

The monitor mount is more stable than setting a monitor on top of a stand. One of my old monitors did not have the VESA mount, so I left it on the stand. The old monitor would wobble and the new monitor would barely move.

I really like that it is fully adjustable! I have two 24” monitors on it. I have offset the monitor mount to fit my desk configuration. It has allowed me to have the left monitor arm fully extended and then the right one it adjusted to be next to it. The included wrenches allow me to adjust the tension of the arms.

I will try to add pictures with the new monitors on it. [Update - Added final photos]

Version 2 Sucks.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019

We've bought three of these now. Apparently they are sending out "Version 2", which is clearly cheap and inferior.

V1: dual articulate arms
V2: some swivel hinge thing

V1: Thick, robust metal and hinges with plastic covers
V2: Cheap welded steal, painted black, looks like scrap metal

Seriously, version 2 is total garbage, and they're just riding off the reputation from Version 1. I feel like they should have to make a new category to reflect this obviously cheaper, low quality, maximum profit version 2. If you could see it in real life next to their own Version 1, you would not buy this cheap welded scrap.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

I am really impressed with this unit for the price. I looked around for a while to find what is recommended and this brand came up quite a bit as recommended. They do fit 2 27" monitors without problems.
The cable management does work well and can be moved around as needed.
The monitors do securely mount to the brackets.
The rod does securely mount to the desk.
The arms are secure to the pole.

The reasons for the 4 stars.
The connection between the mounts and the arms are loose. The monitors can wobble around a little, not held secure where they are aligned. This is not a huge deal.
The two monitors I have are under half the rated weight per arm and the arms sag with the monitors on them. This is entirely in the arms and not the mount on the pole.
The vertical adjustments to line up the monitors is limited (arm flex could be more if the monitors are significantly different weights).

I would recommend this mount to other people. The negatives are not glaring enough that the mount is not useable. They can just be an annoyance at times, I move my monitors around so I notice this more the many people. I always let people know about these negatives and they can decide for themselves.

Solid Monitor Arm

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

I bought a new computer desk and wanted to get both of my monitors off the desk to free up space. I wanted a decent dual monitor setup so after much research and comparison of models I bought the Vivo Dual Monitor Desk Mount. When it came I was surprised at the weight of the thing. Taking it out of the box I was very impressed with the heft and quality of each part; solid machined steel put together with nice chunky bolts. Because my monitors do not have VESA mounts on the back I had to purchase a couple B01771POUU HumanCentric VESA Mount Adapter Bracket for Select Dell Monitors. These worked great and I was able to mount each monitor to the Vivo stand.

Vivo includes several cable management clips that you can attach along the length of each mounting arm (including one for the main "pole" that the monitor arms connect to). These were especially nice because then I didn't have monitor cables hanging down everywhere. In fact, once you get everything in place and have your cables tucked into the clips you can hardly see them (see the photo).

Once I had everything set up I noticed that one monitor was sitting a lot lower than the other. It took me a bit to discover that at the top of each VESA bracket behind the monitors there was an adjustment screw. I tried to adjust the monitor by turning the bolt with the supplied Allen wrench, but it was difficult to turn and eventually stripped (see photo). I contacted the manufacturer by email and told them about this. They were very quick to respond and sent me two new parts with the adjustment bolts. When I got them I had to install the sections and then I tested the bolts and this time they turned easily and I was able to adjust them. Unfortunately, after a lot of "adjusting" I still can't get the right monitor to line up with the left one. I have examined the whole monitor stand and cannot find any reason why this is happening - no defects or anything crooked, etc.

Aside from that I'm still very satisfied with this product. It is a very solid stand and the monitor arms can be moved into many different positions. The only reason that I deducted a star is because the replacement parts they sent me had nicks and scratches on them and you could tell they were used - or maybe handled too much to make sure the adjustment bolts were working.

Monitors keep tipping over *Updated* replacement parts

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

*Update 5-26-20* Company sent replacement parts to fix tipping problem (see below and images). I contacted the company via email, they responded via phone call one day later, discussed and agreed the best course of action was to send replacement parts. This was on a wednesday. The replacement parts came via USPS on a Friday. the joints were pre-tightened and allowed me to keep the monitors upright with no problem. As such I will update my review to 4 stars. Great service, great product- the only gripe I have is that there seems to be a bit of space in between the monitors no matter how you tilt or set them up, and I cannot seem to get it leveled perfectly. Given I had an issue with tilt beforehand I don't want to try too aggressively, so I knock off one star. Otherwise- would recommend

Shipping was fast
Instructions were average/ I had to watch a video to finalize some things
But the biggest letdown was the lack of support for my two monitors. I am using 25 in sceptre monitors weighing 11lbs ea( half the recommended weight limit) and no matter how right the individual bracket nut is, the mount keeps allowing the screens to tip over.

Unless I get some assistance on this I will be requesting a refund.

Pretty good bargain

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

For the money, it's not bad... But you also get what you pay for too.
First off, the GOOD:
- inexpensive - packaged well - shipped quickly - quality wasn't bad - works better with monitors smaller than 27"
- best suited for same monitors - best for monitors that have VESA mount points in the center, not offset

The NOT SO GOOD: (at least for me)
- somewhat tight for my 2-27" monitors (LG and Samsung)
- VESA mount points for my Samsung are near the top, so it made that arm sag more, which in turn made the center post sag as well. My LG worked well on the other arm as it's VESA points are centered on the back.
- came with an extra long threaded bolt and wrench (why?, maybe goes to a different stand)
- unbalanced droop in the arms with my LG and Samsung monitor installed depending on how they are positioned
- center post could be made a little heftier

I realize that some of these points don't apply to every situation, that's a given. Overall for me, it wasn't a bad set up if I had matched monitors in the 24-27" range. But, I don't, so it's a "no-go" for my own use. I will return it.

It's a good little, inexpensive mount, so for those looking for a bargain, this might work for you. Hope this helps...

Over all a very well made product, and a great company to purchase from

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

This is a seriously great monitor stand. The only reason I give it four stars rather than 5 is because mine are a little stiff in movement. I understand they kind of have to be that way to hold the monitors in place but I’ve had stands that move more fluidly and still do the same job. The stand itself is very sturdy, but I would not recommend to use a cheap desk with it if you are planning on using any more than two monitors. The stand will need to be tightened to the point where it can break through a table top of it is not solid wood. If you are using more than two monitors (like my husband does) we dispersed the weight of the stand and grip by putting two decorative wooden cutting boards on the top and bottom of the table and tightening the stand around that. The range of motion is pretty good, you can almost put the screens into any position you want, but you’ll want to make sure you buy something additional for cable management or those will be everywhere.

The company itself is great. We received a bad part in the first order and they instantly replaced it when I told them. Very quickly two.

This is a great monitor stand!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

For the price, you really can't beat it! I love the extra desk space I have now because I used to have a freestanding mount so this is great for me. The construction is solid and I don't have to worry about the stand slipping off and breaking my monitors so if you want to free up space on your desk I would recommend this unit above the others.

Pros:
-A solid stand that can hold a lot of weight if your monitors run on the heavy side
-Cable management pieces that you can attach where you need them and hide those ugly wires
-Easy mounting options that free up A LOT of space compared to a freestanding monitor stand
-The mounting bracket itself has cloth-like pads that can be attached to keep the stand from scratching the desk
-Monitors can quickly be pulled off or put on with the mounting plates being separate from the stand.

Cons:
-Very tight screws on the monitor arms that are almost impossible to turn
-I would have liked to had a smaller cap on the desk mount for easier tightening (my desk has a bottom drawer so the mounting screw head butts up to the back of the draw and the screw is big enough that it got in the way to the point I had to slide the mount off the desk slightly to tighten it fully)

Great value for the money!

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

If 4.5 stars were an option, that's what it'd get.

Purchased this product for a dual-monitor setup on my solid teak desk. Because there is no rear lip, I needed one with a grommet mounting option, which this one had. It assembled relatively quickly, and I only had to drill a small hole (3/8") to support the grommet mount. Because my desk is antique/rustic style, the mounting surface wasn't perfectly flat so main vertical pole wasn't completely straight, but this is not a problem with the product and I was able to easily fix it by wedging a makeshift shim under the grommet to get it level. Really happy with the range of motion and overall quality.

Pretty sturdy but you definitely have to fiddle with the various adjustments to get the monitors just the way you want. The range of motion is great, though, so almost all adjustments are possible. I deducted a star (really only worth deducting a half star maybe) because the slide-in brackets for the VESA mounts aren't super right and wiggle a bit. This leads to more tinkering to get a clean setup with both monitors aligned and level. Additionally, there is a small hex key holder built into the cable management system. One of the holes was too small for one of the hex keys so I had to drill it out to make it fit. Just a bit of an annoyance and QC should have easily caught this.

I can't speak about other monitor configurations, but for two identical monitors side by side, this worked really well. Because you have limited ability to raise the height of each monitor independently, if you didn't have matching monitors I could see this being a bit of an issue. However, no problems for me.

Overall a great monitor stand for the price!

FIRST: I purchased a used product from the seller.
The product arrive missing a bit of tools and some hardware.
No instruction.
I printed the instruction off the amazon listing .pdf
That’s when I discovered the lack of a few pieces.
I got it assembled and where I wanted to use it and honestly it was pretty awesome and I really wanted it to work but, I was attempting to use 2 monitors hanging from this unit off the upper shelf of my desk and it was flexing my desk a bit and causing one monitor to hang a bit lower. The adjustments made it pretty close but wasn’t clean enough for my approval. I will hang onto it for it looks like it could come in handy one day.
Overall: very good, quality product.
But think about where you’re gonna put it before buying something like this.
The unit itself was a few lbs + the monitors if your desk is very rigid you might want to think about drilling some holes. This unit does provide options for through hole desk mounting. Personally, I think the wall is the way to go but it’s destructive and you need to find the studs and have a drill and it’s a project compared to something that clamps to a desk. Think it out before purchase. Enjoy.

Sturdy but limited flexibility

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

The item arrived quickly and was well packed, thank you Amazon. I would like to highlight that the item description of "fully adjustable" is somewhat misleading. There are adjustments for raising and lowering the entire rack, for tilting the monitors and pointing them right or left. You will need room in back for any lateral adjustment, i.e., the spacing between the monitors as the arms will need to fold back into the space behind the mount if you need to have the monitors closer together. Having said that, there is very little capability for moving the monitors closer together because of the limited range of motion of the mounting arms. This is fine if you are not up against a wall as is the case in my application.

I took off one of the links in the horizontal arms and then reassembled it to shorten the reach, which eliminates the arm folding back into the wall, and now they fit tight and look good if you don't mind the mount being off center relative to the monitors.

I drilled a hole in my desk for the mount, once again to bring the mount further away from the wall. It was an easy task but you need to check for any backing plates or attachment hardware under the desktop itself before making the hole. I had to relocate the hole further inward to avoid the reinforcing brace underneath.

Straightforward Installation

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018

Size: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

Ok, so I just got the VIVO dual monitor mount after a two day wait. Shipped very fast. The hardware was in a box that came in a box that came in another box. Yep, you read that right, three boxes. Can't say it wasn't packaged well! Once I'd cut through at the boxes and pulled everything out, it was all layed out nicely. All the parts were there and the instructions are simple and easy to understand. Looked good once put together. (See pic)
I work IT in a call center so I'm familiar with similar mounts. These are solid but don't seem heavy duty or over engineered like other mounts. I do worry about the arms loosening up over time but at least it comes with a cable management system that includes three slots for the Allen keys. (See other pic) So no having to scrounge around to find them later. Nice touch. There's also a wrench for tightening the large bolt in the center if you attach it through a hole in the desk as I did.
Super clean install and everything you'll need comes in the box. I thought that was great. I didn't have to go out to the garage for tools.
Overall, very happy with the purchase so far. Will update review if that changes.
