VIVO Dual Monitor Desk Mount, Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable Steel Stand, Holds 2 Computer Screens up to 30 inches and Max 22lbs Each, Black, STAND-V002

VIVO Dual Monitor Desk Mount:If someone had told me two days ago that you could get a reasonable quality dual monitor mount for anywhere near this price, I would have immediately discounted everything else they said as questionable. I would have been wrong. I'm rarely compelled to immediately write a review on something, but this thing is good under normal circumstances and amazing for the price. I've been working in IT for almost 30 years. I've come across many monitor stands, mounts, and armatures. For what it was designed for, it does quite well.The construction seems solid. The first thing I did was mount a slightly older Benq 3-D gaming display. It's pretty heavy for a 24" display. Even with only the single monitor swung far to one side, there are no issues with the stand. The height adjustment held firm and there's no noticeable lean, etc.The tension on the joints is appropriate. It holds the monitor in place in all axis, yet is still easy to adjust.- Height adjustment requires using an allen wrench (supplied) to loosen the compression on the center post. This may be a bit fiddly once two monitors are mounted as you'll have to hold their weight during adjustment. The monitor heights cannot be adjusted independently.- Without tools the monitors can be adjusted laterally as well as pivoted and rotated to support landscape and portrait orientations.The assembly is easy and the necessary tools are supplied. Basic cable management is supplied.

VIVO Dual LCD LED Monitor Desk Mount StandThere is a reason this has a #1 Best Seller flag on it. Its extremely good for what you are paying for it.I wanted to get my desk cleared off and was seriously thinking about getting a second monitor to use. I came across this on amazon and decided to give it a try. I had read through a lot of the reviews. Most of them were good to excellent and some were not. I was hoping my experience was going to be better than some of theirs.The first thing I noticed when i received this mount was just how heavy the boxes containing it were. I was expecting some heft. I mean this has to support two monitor up to 27 inches each, but it was heavier than I was anticipating.I found most of the parts inside wrapped in plastic and in good condition. I followed the instructions and did not have any problem assembling this item. You attach the clamp to the post first, then mount that part on your desk where you want it. The clamp seems plenty strong enough to hold it. Just make sure your desk is strong enough. I have a all steel tanker desk so it was not problem for me. If you have a thin top you might want to think about placing a piece of wood under the desk in the clamp to help distribute the weight of the monitors. I would not mount this too glass at all. That might be a common sense thing, but just a warning.After mounting the clamp/pole to the desk, you will want to place the vesa mounts on the monitors. This kit came with handy thumbscrews just for this, and they worked great. I did not need any special adapters for my monitors, both were 100x100 vesa mount compatible and the plates fit it perfectly. The mounts attached to the monitors will slide onto the plate on the post. This also worked great for me. No issue. Once you get the monitors on the arms, there is a tiny screw cap for the back to make sure the monitors stay on the arms. I will not be rotating my so this isn't an issue, but I put them there anyways.The post does have height adjustment, do not do this with the monitors on the arms. Take them off then adjust the post. Put them back on and repeat as necessary until where you want them.I saw some reviewers talking about how they could not keep the monitors level. I am going to guess that they have faulty kits. I have no problem here. The joint that allows the monitor to rotate seem nice and tight, but also easily movable if I wanted them too. The tilt of the monitor can be adjust up or down and then tighten with the included allen wrench. I am sporting a 24 inch monitor on the left and a 27 inch monitor on the right with absolutely no physical problems.The multiple points of articulation in the arms made moving my monitors around a breeze. They stay where I put them too.There are hooks for cable management which do help a lot in keeping a clean look. I could only use some of it because of a short power cord and dvi cable.You can see from the photos that the post is leaning forward ever so slightly. It does not seem to be going any further and it is extremely stable.One thing I can highly recommend is an Aukey LED gooseneck clamp light. It will clamp right to one of the arms and reaches over the monitors. It provides good light and runs off USB power. It looks like it belongs with the mount. I could not be happier with how that turned out.I am completely satisfied with this mount. I love it. I recommend it to anybody who needs to get their monitors off the desk and more at eye level.AUKEY LED Desk Lamp, Clip-on Table Lamp with Flexible Neck, USB Powered with 2 Brightness Adjustment for reading

This turned out to be a great solution for my dual-monitor set up, giving me some more height for my monitors and space back on my desk. I'll focus on the two primary questions I had going into my purchase for any of those who have similar questions as they're considering these:1. This mount uses a single bracket for the height of BOTH monitors, how will it work with slightly different monitor models? - There is a height adjustment screw on each monitor bracket to allow you to adjust them up, but it only goes about 1/4". For me, this wasn't tall enough to properly line up my monitors, but adding a washer to the adjustment screw got me close enough to the height I needed. Additional washers for height is not possible or else your monitor will not be properly fastened in place. If you need more than 1/2" of vertical adjustment between your left/right monitors, this is not the mount for you.2. How close far back will this mount allow me to put my monitors on my desk, against a wall? With my setup (mount offset so a main monitor can be centered, 24" monitors) my centered monitor is about 4" from my back wall, and my desk about 3" from the back wall as well. Due to the single mount and angles of movement for the arms, you're going to have to have your desk a few inches from your wall in order to get your mounts close to the back edge of your desk. You can see in my photos how the arms of this mount naturally angle BACK from the mount in order to get 24" monitors next to one another. You may be able to get things closer with larger monitors.3. Is this thing really as sturdy as everyone says? Yes. This mount is incredibly sturdy and doesn't move in the slightest under normal desk use. The ONLY issue with this mount is the point where the VESA brackets attach to the arms. Due to how this is designed, there is about 1/8-1/4" of play for rotating the monitors, so it can be very easy to accidentally knock them off of being level horizontally/vertically. This turned out to not be as much of an issue as I initially thought, but it's definitely my biggest complaint about this mounting solution.4. How easily can you move a monitor forward and backward? When I'm using my office for work I like to have as much desk space as possible and my monitors back on my desk. When gaming, I prefer to have my monitors much closer to my keyboard. For some reason it's very easy to move my center monitor forward and backward, but my offset one is significantly more difficult (i actually have to reach around to the back and move the arm as I need - i think this is because of the angles I have the arms at. I can live with that and it's not a major complaint.In short, this is an excellent mount for the price. My minor gripes are easily overlooked by the overall quality and price of this dual monitor mount. I recommend for anyone looking for a cheap and effective mounting solution, but have caution if you use different models of monitors and want to have them be perfectly level.
