Amazon Basics Single Computer Monitor Stand with Tilt and Rotation, Height Adjustable VESA Desk Arm Mount, Steel, 30 inches, Black

Strong, Solid, Thoughtful Design. Exceptional Value for the Money. Best by a Mile.
Exceptional value for the money. Rock solid support, great range of motion.The monitor mount’s vertical support pole is a sturdy 1.9” in diameter (others are mostly only 1.37” in diameter) and designed to allow monitor and power cables to be threaded discreetly down through the pole; exiting out the back just above the surface level of your desk. The extra-wide diameter permits the threading of full-size power plugs, HDMI, and DisplayPort cables through the support pole. A two-part plastic plug can be placed into the top of the pole after running your cables for a nice and tidy look.Unfortunately, the vertical pole only seems to be available in a 16” height; and if your are unlucky enough to have a stupidly designed monitor like my 28” 4K Samsung U28E590D, with the VESA attachment point at the extreme top edge of the monitor, this will likely be too short to earn you any extra room on the surface of your desk. In fact, it hangs the monitor several inches lower than the monitor’s own included stand.* I tried mounting my monitor upside down, as flipping the display orientation in Windows and MacOS is simple as can be, but my Samsung Monitor just wouldn’t submit. I don’t know if it is a polarization issue or a LCD under stress issue; but the flipped monitor winds up entirely washed out (dark, reflective, and deeply purple tinted) on the button half when viewed directly as one normally would. Mounted upside down, one can only see the full screen clearly by leaning the monitor 45° or more backward, which obviously is not practical at all.Other monitors might better handle being mounted upside down, and one should attempt this if they have a monitor with a similarly off-center VESA point. I’m disappointed in mine, as mounted upside down I only needed 12-13” of the 16” pole to have 6-7” of clearance under my monitor.

Good product. Sturdy and easy to set up
Good product, easy to install. I Use this on the corner of my desk so that I could pivot my extra large monitor and use it as a TV.

A good product nearly ruined by awful instructions.
This is reasonably good monitor stand. When fully assembled, it has decent range of motion: it saves desk space, and doesn’t require drilling. Previously, my keyboard was right at the edge of the desk and was uncomfortable to use for more than an hour or so. Now, I can fit the keyboard + wrist rest and still have a few inches.But, and it’s a big but: the instructions regarding both tilt and rotation are horrible.The manufacturer must have realized this because they included a separate page which, somehow, has even less helpful instruction.The key issue is droop. By default, it will be at an obviously-downward angle. No big deal, just tighten something, right? Wrong. The added instructions say to tighten a specific nut using the Allen key (one of three included, for some reason… just use the same-sized drive recess for all of the bolts.)Well, you can tighten that thing until you’ve nearly cracked your monitor from tightening it so hard… it’s going down, down, down until it droopier than the cartoon character.What you *actually* need to do is *loosen* the boot, set it to a few degrees above where you want it, and *then* tighten it. There is some kind of block at 90 that prevents you tilting it up while the bolt is in. Once you’re past that you’re good.I messed around trying to get it to be 90 degrees that I almost returned it. Silly instructions.Anyway, nearly all mounts will sag a little bit on the x axis, which is why this mount has a slight pivot to allow you to compensate. If you have a requirement for straight lines and can’t deal with your mount being ~88 degrees to your desk with a slight pivot to the monitor to make it level, then this isn’t for you. I’d recommend a mount/arm with an arm closer to the desk. Those are easy to get to exactly 45 degrees. (Personally, as long as the monitor is level, I don’t care.)Somebody else stated this didn’t have the ability to rotate. They are incorrect.Other than that… there isn’t much to say. 10 minutes to install, 30 minutes wasted with one bolt. Hopefully, they address this in the instructions to make this a 5-star product.Oh, and it comes with M4 and M5 bolts if your monitor doesn’t have them. If you’re using a screw driver, they’re 3/16 and 5/32” hex bolts.

Goed voor de prijs en maakt je setup een stuk netter. Dat de draden door een buis kunnen, is natuurlijk nog handiger.

Super

I share a desk with my other half… it’s my desk really, but she has a computer tucked underneath that she can use from time to time. I purchased this monitor arm to try and maximise the desk space available by being able to get rid of the monitor stand and also to be able to push the monitor out of the way when not in use, but also be able to pull the monitor out and have it at a suitable viewing angle when actually in use. This monitor arm does this perfectly.The desk I have is pretty sturdy so it has a good surface to clamp to. I’m not sure I’d want to clamp this to something like the IKEA Linnmon desks are they’re pretty hollow and not very rigid… but that’s more a fault of the desk than the arm. Just something worth mentioning to make sure you’re not attaching this to something too weak to hold it.The product itself is very well made. I expected a much weaker, more flimsy product for this price and especially considering it has “Basics” in the brand name… but it’s absolutely solid, decently thick steel. There’s no way it’ll bend or flex easily. Really easy to put together, took only about 10 minutes or so to completely set it up on the desk. Adjustability is great, the arm is a little bit stiff so it may take a bit of time to make it easier to move about, but it’s generally pretty good.I’m not entirely sure of the specs of the monitor, but it’s a fairly beefy ASUS 27″ unit… Absolutely no issues holding this monitor, no adjustments needed to make it support the weight. I was in the market for two monitor stands and decided this one would cut it for that monitor, but for my own Samsung 34″ ultrawide, I wasn’t convinced it’d be sturdy enough so bought a different arm for that. Admittedly I haven’t tested it, but having now physically seen and felt the product, I’d be almost happy to say this would likely have held that ultrawide monitor as well.The cable management is quite good for such a simple thing as well. The pole is basically hollow with a hole at the bottom rear. There is then a plastic cap that keeps the top of the pole neat and tidy once you’ve run your cables… It’s very basic but does such a great job… and the rear exit is a very welcome feature as I’ve seen others that come from the front and you end up with the cables shoved right in view. The rear helps keep them hidden and tidy, you’d barely even know the cables were there!For such a basic monitor arm, I highly, highly recommend this product.
