HUANUO Single Monitor Mount, 13 to 32 Inch Gas Monitor Arm, Adjustable Stand, Vesa Mount with Clamp and Grommet Base - Fits 4.4 to 19.8lbs LCD Computer Monitors

As the title says, this was my first time mounting a monitor. Actually I have never mounted anything! I usually keep my monitors on their stand or TV's on a console.I recently purchased a Dell S2721D to use as a dual monitor and larger screen for my Steam Deck. Unfortunately the base of the monitor stand was HUGE! It also only allowed the screen to tilt up or down, I needed more.So a quick search on Amazon and I found this stand, what intrigued me was that it used gas for tension instead of coils. It also had a huge range of motion and tons of good reviews and was very affordable.Come day of delivery I unboxed it, read the instructions and went to work. First piece of paper included separately from the instruction manual was directions on what to do if your desk has a metal frame and then wood boards on top of the frame. This was my case, I needed to take an extra step to make sure the base of the mount was secure to my desktop.The instructions suggested using either a piece of wood to place under the desk next to the frame or a book, this way there is something there the same thickness of the wood + frame which would allow the gromet of the stand to catch onto something instead of just the lip of the metal frame.I went with a thick book and it secured perfectly! Next step was to remove the plastic frame from the lower arm and the upper arm so I could feed my wires through. This is where I hit a slight snag, the screw for the bottom arm was in an awkward area, the provided Allan key/Phillips head combo was too small to get a good fit into the screw head and only took a couple of twists to realize it could strip the screw head. Luckily I had a different screw driver and with a little effort I was able to get the screw out and the piece open.I placed my two HDMI wires and the power wire through the top cover first, made sure there was enough slack at the top and then screwed the plate back onto the top arm making sure it was not too tight. Then I pulled the cables down through the bottom plastic plate and screwed it back onto the bottom arm. Once I knew I had enough slack I tightened both covers.Next up was actually mounting the monitor. I removed the 4 screws that were already in the monitor and replaced them with the screws provided with the stand as they had larger heads. I screwed in the top two just enough to keep them secure and then hung the monitor onto the top of the plate which was secured to the arm, think hanging a picture frame. Now that the monitor was hanging on the plate, I slowly let go of the monitor as to avoid having the arm slam down or dropping the monitor which is a little less than 10 pounds. It hung with no issue, the arm didn't even go down in the slightest ( there's that gas power! ).I then secured the bottom two screws to the plate and tightened the top two screws, we were fully secured! I plugged in the power, the two HDMI cords and then rotated the screen 90 degrees to make it vertical and make sure I had enough slack for the monitor to rotate that far without causing pressure on the cords. Once that was done I pulled more of the cords down through the arms.Last step was to reduce the tension of the arm so that the arm could move up and down without too much force. I reduced it just enough to allow full movement yet keep the monitor in its place once released.Now I have full motion of the monitor, I can move it almost anywhere I need to to have the best view possible. This stand is solid, functional and the best bang for your buck!

I recently purchased this Single Monitor Mount from HUANUO, as I already have four other monitor arms from this company. They have consistently impressed me with their quality and performance. The construction of this mount is top-notch. It's sturdy and well-designed. Installation was quick, maybe 20-30 minutes. The instructions were clear, and I had it set up in no time. The flexibility in adjusting the height and angle is great, allowing me to create the perfect viewing experience. I highly recommend HUANUO Monitor Mount systems.

Due to a PC upgrade, I purchased 2 new monitors. Then, I wanted to go all out and get the monitors off my desk to free up space. I searched all manner and brand of monitor mount. My original intent was to get a dual monitor arm, but the more I thought about it the more I lied the versatility of having two individual arms. So, back to the research, reading reviews etc.I finally settled on this Huanuo arm, and I am so glad I did. Installation was extremely easy and painless. Although, if I had it to do again, I would definitely pop at least one of the "hidden" USB hubs off at the base of the arm and thread a USB cable in there for easy access. But, that's not the arms fault, the option is there - take them up on it.Onto the details, the box is small, well packed. Instructions are easy to follow and they have all the included tools (three different size allen keys) included. You literally need nothing else to install this than what's in the box.Set up/installation is easy. You can do it with one person - but it's nice to have a second set of hands when putting the monitor. Ranges and adjustment options are fantastic. Up, down, left right, front, back. This glides really smoothly and easily. There are a couple spots to adjust tension and tilt as well. The instructions do say it can support a maximum of 19 lb monitor - but for most that's above what you should have. My 27" monitors are way under that.When all is said and done, I hands down absolutely recommend this monitor arm. It's fantastic, easy to set up/use and the price is very fair. So much so I bought two more to gift to my dad. So, I have purchased a total of 4 now. If I ever need another I won't look anywhere else.

The mount does what it says it will, it has good cable management, good support/doesn't fall down even at full articulation, the arm has good articulation and is easy to move yet stable. Installation is simple.The reason for 4/5 is that the tilt function is... challenged. Side to side (left/right axis) tilt is great, it's the tilting up and down that's a problem. There seem to be two settings of friction to the up and down tilt- too loose or too tight. I can't run it on the loose side or my monitor will fall forward/backward. When I make it just tight enough not to fall forward, the only way to tilt it is to grab the monitor with both hands and jerk it in/out at the top/bottom to break static friction. And this is as loose as it can be without moving on its own. It feels like I'm going to break the monitor or the joint on the arm when trying to get articulation in this axis so I just set it and adjust my chair instead. The monitor is easily rotated clockwise/ccw as well, it's literally just the forward/back axis that is poorly designed and is weirdly notchy- like it's trying to lock into place after being set but then won't let go for adjustment.Anyways for $35 or whatever it's on sale for I would absolutely buy it again. Just make sure your chair is adjustable to make up for the fact you won't want to be changing the monitor height itself much.

Easy to install and the arm doesn't move once locked into place. Sturdy, flexible and good cable management.
