I have a 22" monitor that weighs 5.4kgs and when I first installed this desk mount just using basic intuition (i.e. NOT reading the manual), I was very disappointed. My monitor just sagged down to the desk when the arm was extended even a few inches. I was all set to get my dander up when it occurred to me that maybe the installation required a bit more insight than I first thought. A few minutes of actually reading the installation manual (page 13 to be exact) and...VOILA!...a properly tensioned mount that holds the monitor in place even at full extension!! I would recommend this unit over more expensive ones as it looks good, is good quality, and works perfectly - once you read the manual and make the simple tension adjustments!

I am a huge Ergotron fan. I've been using a number of their mounts and arms for 4 years and they are still going strong. Over the years, as Ergotron's popularity has risen, the prices have come down in a big way. This year I bought two of the LX mounts and they are as high quality as the older expensive mounts I bought in 2005. I am using these mounts to hold some screens in portrait mode. I'm using the extension arm on one monitor and not on the other. The monitors have been held in place without any adjustments for 6+ months. It's very easy to position the screen exactly where you want, once you have the tension set (which is easy--just turning a screw). I've needed no adjusting or tightening of the tension in that time. The construction is fantastic--strong, durable, and metal. This is really good equipment and should last a long time. The kit includes all the screws and adapter brackets you'll need for using with 75mm or 100mm VESA screens. I've used these stands with monitors from HP, ViewSonic, Gateway, Samsung--no issues at all. In addition to the high quality, these brackets look good. From the front, you don't see them--the monitor is just "floating", which always intrigues an office visitor ("how are those monitors held up!?"). From the rear, the black mount is sharp and solid. Highly recommended, especially at this price. There's really no downside here. Note that if you want to mount a very large monitor, you might need the Ergotron MX (also on Amazon) instead of the Ergotron LX (this one).

Best desk mount your money can buy. Holds my 24" wide-screen dell with no problems, took about 15 minutes to install. Very solid, adjustable, yet easy to move.
