The finishing touches
Monitor Arm Buying Guides & Desk Compatibility
Choose a monitor arm for dual screens, ultrawide displays or a standing desk. Check screen weight, VESA mounting, clamp clearance and usable desk depth.
Three checks before you buy
- Check the monitor weight without its stand and its VESA pattern against the exact arm.
- Measure the desktop thickness and underside clearance where the clamp or grommet will sit.
- Allow for arm reach, wall clearance and cable slack throughout the standing desk’s movement.
Our guides use published specifications and linked sources, with limitations stated on each page. How we choose.
