Pros
- 7-25 lb capacity covers 27-34 inch monitors
- Lift, extend, tilt, rotate, portrait pivot
- 10-year warranty including the gas spring
- Frees desk depth and sets the screen at eye height
Cons
- Expensive next to generic arms for sub-20 lb monitors
- Clamp needs the right desk thickness and overhang
- Polished finish shows fingerprints
- Joint tension is not user-adjustable
Why it is the pick
Lifts the monitor off the desk so the pad can run uninterrupted. The question it answers for a buyer: Does a monitor arm earn its price on a single-monitor desk?
Specs that matter
- Capacity 7-25 lb, screens to ~34 in
- Lift ~13 in; extends to 25 in
- VESA 75/100, clamp or grommet
- 10-year warranty
Check before ordering
Desk thickness (0.4-2.4 in) and rear overhang for the clamp; the monitor's weight without stand against the 25 lb limit
