I had been looking for a monitor mount that would allow my flat screen monitor to swivel between portrait and landscape. One problem was my monitor weighed in at 26 pounds and all the mounts I found were for monitors up to 20 pounds though some claimed to use the mounts with slightly heavier monitors than specs allowed for. I did find other mounts for heavier monitors but they were in the 300 dollar range. My monitor must not have been designed for portrait orientation as the holes for securing onto a mount, are not in the center: Sony SDM-X202 21inch. Was worried the lopsided results when rotated to Portrait, would cause the monitor to sag down on one side. However this monitor desktop mount is so good, the monitor rotates and stays however I put it. I LOVE THIS MOUNT! Has two ways to fasten to desktop: vice like mechanism fastens at edge of desk, or if your desk doesn't have a lip big enough, you can fasten on the desk with drilling four holes and bolting through the desk. It has a brace that the bolts screw into underneath the desk and is very strong. You can even drill a bigger hole in between the four bolt holes, that would allow feeding cables very inconspicuosly through the hollow of the mounts and vertical brace. I now have the monitor where ever I want it instead of adjusting my body and neck to the monitor...IT IS GREAT!!! The vertical adjustment does require going to the back of the desk to raise the arm and monitor from the desk mount position. From the front of the monitor, I can tilt the monitro(leaning away or towards me), rotate portrait/landscape, swivel to the left or right, pull towards me or push away from me, swing the arm to the left or right...just perfection thank you! The pictures I am sending, I haven't worked with the cords too well yet so messy until I have the time.

Vertical adjustment in detail: the center of the monitor fastener, the X like brace, raises from 11.5 inches to 15 inches. You untighten the telescoping fastener, pull up or push down holding onto the arm close to the desktop pillar. If the monitor mount is pulled up as high as it goes, it takes a little force to dislodge it from a frozen state so it will move up or down to your liking. In other words vertical adjustment might require somebody stronger than yourself.

I use heavy duty cast aluminum adjustable double arm monitor for two 19 inch standard shape monitors at work. I don't know the manufacture but it is a high quality and expensive one and it is likely outlast me. I was looking for similar quality single monitor arm for 24 inch wide screen monitor for home use. After long research, I decided to give this one a try and I am happy with my choice. I chose to clamp it to my 60" x 30" dining table which I use it for my desk. It works great. My only miner complain is, I wanted black color (matching with my monitors piano black frame) which was out of stock for a long time so I settled with available platinum color. It is a no big deal since it goes behind the monitor so hidden most of the times.

Pros

Powder coated paint. Quality feel to it.

Steady Cast aluminum with steel clamp base construction.

Double spar design for stiffness.- No sagging with maximum extension with 24 inch wide screen monitor.

Double arm design for long depth (in and out) adjustment.

N2 gas filled counter balanced column - Height adjustment is easy.

All articulated arms operate smoothly.

Arm wrist can be rotated however, the manufacture does not explain that future for some reasons. So skewed monitor can be adjusted to look leveled.

Not a lowest cost one but reasonably priced. (You get what you paid for.)

Cons

I do not see any. When I was adjusting the position, a monitor wire was chafed a bit by the sharp edge of the plastic shroud which hides the monitor wires. I recommend rounding the sharp edge with a knife, file or sandpaper. No big deal.

Solid construction worth every penny. Modern design. 2 ways of mounting it to the surface weather using supplied attachment and no drilling involved or you could drill through the surface and mount it that way, either way is just as good. I have a glass desk so drilling was not the option and mounting bracket supplied does a great job. Adjusting angles are endless and effortless.

I am very pleased with this product. I had another brand that claimed to hold 22" monitors and it ended up in the trash due to bending. This product holds my 13-14 lbs monitor real well. It got delivered very fast too. installing the fixture was a breeze.
