Before you choose
Look up its weight without the stand and measure the mounting holes across and down. Check whether the plate must fit into a recess.
Use a torch along the rear edge. Check the desktop material, clamp landing area and any rail, drawer or tray in the way.
Measure each screen and sketch the widths side by side. Check where each base could sit and how the joints will fold.

Compare the number and shape of your screens with each mount’s support and movement.
Measure screen and desktop compatibility before deciding how to attach the arm.
Find practical checks for position, spring balance, tilt, wobble and cable slack.
Practical advice
With one screen, an offset clamp may let the elbow fold along the desk while the screen stays centred. For two, sketch each screen’s width and the positions each arm needs to reach. Keep room for the plugs and a relaxed loop of cable at every moving joint. The two single arms or one dual guide helps you compare the attachment area and movement.
A supported weight range does not settle the tilt load of a deeply curved screen. Ask the arm maker to confirm the exact monitor when the display is unusually deep or heavy. Use the curved-screen tilt checks if the display keeps tipping forward.
Use the shallow-desk guide to compare the three mounts and try the fit finder. For the screen’s holes and mounting plate, follow the VESA measurement guide.
From the buying guide
The MX200 covers compatible 19–32-inch screens within its 2–9 kg published range. Check VESA fit, the desktop attachment and the space for the rear joint before choosing.
An everyday adjustable screen
The gas-assisted arm suits a single compatible screen you move between tasks. It frees the desk from a broad stand and gives you a choice of edge clamp or through-desk fixing.
A centred clamp can leave the elbow in the way of the wall. Check whether the clamp can sit to one side while keeping the screen centred. Match the fitting diagram to the base supplied.
Common questions
Record the exact screen model, weight without its stand, VESA pattern and plate recess. Then measure the desktop attachment area and the space needed for the arm and cables.
No. Size, minimum load, curvature, mounting pattern, tilt-head compatibility and the desktop attachment are separate checks.
Check whether an approved through-desk fixing is possible. Otherwise compare the original stand or a compatible freestanding mount, allowing for the base footprint and complete load.
Measure both screens separately, including their widths, weights and mounting patterns. Compare a dual mount with two single arms using the attachment area and movement each arrangement needs.
Check the new screen’s complete mounting requirements against the arm’s exact model and revision. Include minimum load, screen size, plate clearance and tilt compatibility.
