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.

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.

Monitors keep tipping over *Updated* replacement parts

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020

Color: BlackSize: 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

Color: BlackSize: 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...

Solid Monitor Arm

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018

Color: BlackSize: 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.

Great value for the money!

Color: BlackSize: 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!

Just what you were looking for..for the most part (which may not exactly be their fault)

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021

Color: BlackSize: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

I've devoted a few hours to browsing the internet for various mounts, breezed throughs dozens of reviews, trying to find the best mount for my dual 27 inch monitor set up.

I've dialed my first try (I assumed I'd have to go through at least 2 tries) down to this product and I must say - I think I hit it on my first shot.

This thing is tough and rugged. Strong metal with strong joints and levers. Alot of people complain about the mobility. Use the damn hexagonal key people and use some elbow grease to find the right tightness, it's not that hard. The mounts were easy enough to assemble with confidence to integrity, snapped on to my table in a min or two.

My only issue with this thing when I received it - both options for the VESA mount screws did not work for my monitor. I have a 27" Spectre monitor from Amazon and it just didn't fit, it had too much wiggle room between the screw top and the panel so the monitor would shake around. I had to buy washers for the screw just to fill that gap and all is well (see in picture).

Other than that issue, which frankly, I won't blame the company for, I don't have any complaints. But you could include some washers along with the spacers to ensure that people don't have to go out and drive to the nearest Lowe's and buy a dollar bag of washers.

Worked great. Feels sturdy. Cleaned my desk and my second monitor isn't even mounted yet. All in all, this thing was money well-spent.

Works Great Some Minor Nitpicks.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020

Color: BlackSize: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

Once it became clear that the pandemic was going to be around for a while, and I would be working from home for the foreseeable future, I decided I needed a better work setup than just plugging a monitor into my laptop. When looking for a dual monitor stand, I started by looking for one like I have at the office with independent spring-loaded arms. Then I found this one for less than half the price and decided to take a shot with it. I'm more or less glad I went with this one, though I do have a couple of minor gripes.

First of all, the set up couldn't be easier. I'm using the clamp on the back of my old desk temporarily until I get my new one that has a hole in it, where I will switch to the grommet clamp. It is very strong and stable. This is much heavier duty than I expected it to be. The mount is strong and solid, and even if I shake my wobbly desk the movement in the monitors is almost nil. My monitors at the office, with the much more expensive mounts, are way less stable-- even the motion of typing causes one of them to bounce a little bit-- and I have to readjust them pretty regularly, even with the tension on the springs adjusted as precisely as I can get them. With this set up, once you have them set, it takes some pretty significant effort to move them. Which is also a minor gripe if you ever have need to raise, lower, or rotate your monitors. You'll need an allen key to do it easily. I don't move my monitors very often, so it's not a big problem for me. But it's something to keep in mind.

Two other minor beefs:
1) The thumb screws that attach the backing plate to the monitor are too long for my monitors, and in order to get them tight enough, I had to use a flat washer and a locking washer (3rd picture). Not a huge deal, it was a couple of extra bucks at Lowe's, but it seems like that hardware should be included.
2) How close together you can get the monitors, especially smaller ones, is going to depend on how close to your face you want them, or how much clearance you have behind the desk. There's no lateral rotation at all in the arms, so the gap between the monitors is entirely reliant on horizontal adjustment, which either pushes the monitors forward, or pushes the arms back. I'm running dual 22" monitors, and I had to slide the desk about four inches from the wall to keep the monitors from being half way over the desk before the gap between them was mostly closed.

Those minor things aside, this is a really good stand. Especially for as inexpensive as it is. It's hard to not recommend this.

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.

A sturdy and stable monitor desk mount

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020

Color: BlackSize: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

I bought this product a couple of months back for my home office and since then it has been serving me well. At this price point, this would probably be the best pick you can make for a dual monitor mount. The stand is flexible enough to let you get the optimal viewing angle for both your monitors.
Be warned that the desk on which you will install it matters. My desk was not deep enough to use the C-clamp. So I had to drill a hole and use the grommet mount instead. But to be fair, the grommet mount just made me much safer than a C-clamp since my trial on another desk, which did support it, resulted in the desk mount being a bit wobbly.
Apart from this small hitch, the mount itself is pretty sturdy and has a good finish. It was able to handle both my 27" monitors without any trouble and it looks great on my wooden desk.

Simple and straightfoward setup. A solid budget dual-monitor stand with finicky fine adjustment.

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2021

Color: BlackSize: 17" Standard PoleVerified Purchase

This is an excellent bargain compared to gas-lift competitors. All pieces came with the stand and the instructions were well-documented, available in print with the package, and supplemented with helpful YouTube videos. Instructions were straightforward and sufficient for assembly.

VESA plates along with the rest of the equipment seem sturdy. I had no qualms about loading my monitors onto the stand. When adjusting tilt, it is semi-difficult to maintain position. I'm using dual 24" class monitors, and the bolts used for adjustment seem as though they may sag or dip over time. I would recommend using monitors similar in size/spec if going for a uniform look. If you're worried about your monitors remaining level over a long period time, this may not be for you. I keep the Allen keys in a drawer nearby for ad-hoc adjustments.

Will update review if stand fails or provides further issue with sagging monitors/unwanted monitor tilt.
