Ergotron – HX HD Premium Heavy Duty Gaming Monitor Arm, Single Monitor Desk Mount – for 1000R Curved Ultrawide Monitors Up to 49 Inches, 28 to 42 lbs, VESA 75x75mm or 100x100mm – HD Pivot, Matte Black

This is undoubtedly one of the best monitor arms on the market. While it is on the pricier side, its exceptional build quality and heavy-duty design make it worth every penny. If you own a 49-inch monitor, I highly recommend choosing an Ergotron monitor arm over any other brand. I initially purchased a cheaper alternative but ended up returning it immediately. This is a classic case of "you get what you pay for," and the Ergotron arm is definitely worth the investment.**Pros:**- **Rock-solid design:** The arm's robust construction ensures your high-end monitor is securely supported.- **Ease of movement:** Adjusting and repositioning a 49-inch monitor is effortless, thanks to the arm's smooth operation.- **Easy installation:** The installation process is straightforward, but make sure you have all the necessary tools, especially a wrench for the monitor arm head. For a 49-inch monitor, having a second person to assist is helpful.- **Durability:** The arm shows no signs of wear or binding, even after extended use. Its overbuilt design provides confidence that your expensive monitor is safe.**Cons:**- **Cable management:** The arm's cable management system could use some improvement. However, this is a minor issue since you rarely need to access the back unless you're setting up an elaborate gaming rig.**Comparison and Recommendations:**- **Superior to other brands:** After reviewing various reports, the Ergotron stands out in terms of adjustability and stability, making it the top choice in its class.- **Versatile use:** I would exclusively recommend this arm for other types of monitors and specific use cases, such as dual-monitor setups or professional workstations. Despite being the most expensive option, it is well worth the investment due to its longevity and superior build quality.

I struggled to find an arm that would support my almost 33lb 4k 43" LG monitor. Sadly it is the most expensive but is among 2 that I found would work and the tolerances are DEFINITELY better for the Ergotron.Here is what I like:1: Stable - was concerned due to the drop in nature of Ergotron HX, but the monitor does not move after mounted2: Assembly - almost too easy; 32 lb monitor mounted solo VERY easily3: Ease of use - very very smooth4: Aesthetics - good looking; aluminum look only comes in white but matches the black items in the room I have well5: Quality - clearly built to last6: Warranty7: Company is known and has a US presenceHere is what I don't like:1: Price - it is expensiveThe cost is worth it in my opinion as the company has a US presence and a good warranty - also it is the only mount where my weight is in the middle of the road.My setup:----- ------------ -----| | | | | ||2K | | 4K | | 2K|| | | | | |----- ------------ -----Each of the 2k 27" monitors use the Ergotron LX.The 43" 4k monitor uses the Ergotron HX.

I absolutely absolutely FREAKING LOVE THIS ARM. I bought it as soon as I found out we'd be working from home for a while, in an effort to finally upgrade my home setup. After I bought it I mentioned it to a friend, and she said "YES!!! I HAVE THE SAME ONE AND I LOVE IT!!" I've only had it for a couple of months, but my friend has had hers for years and it's still going strong.I have an enormous Cintiq - 24HD Touch. I was warned that if the weight of the screen to be supported is too close to the weight limit, it probably won't work well, and this was literally the only arm I could find that was rated to support my monster! Not only does it hold the weight of my Cintiq beautifully, the motion is smooth and effortless, only a very slight wobble, and I can lean on it pretty hard without it going down. It's a little tricky sometimes to get the wrench-key into the right spot for adjusting the tension, and every person will prefer something a little different - but once you get the hang of it it's a no brainer. Installation itself was easy and instructions were clear. The only difficulty was lifting my Cintiq onto the arm once it's all assembled, because the dumb thing is so darn heavy it would have been nice to have a second pair of hands... but that's not the arm's fault!Ergotron is the standard in the entertainment/arts industry for a reason. I'm an artist, so aesthetics matter, and it has to function all day long every day. I COULD NOT be more pleased. I'm an extremely tactile and picky person I got the polished aluminum one and I have to say, it's actually beautiful. It doesn't have that "ergonomic tech" look that a lot of other "ergo" products have, which I think is pretty tacky and wanna-be futuristic. This thing though... this is a beautiful and sturdy piece of engineering and it performs it's function to perfection. THANK YOU ERGOTRON.My desk is 30" deep and it reaches well beyond the edge from the back, but I have it mounted to one side and it works just fine there too. This is such a massive improvement over the piece of crap stand that the last few models of Cintiqs have come with (the one that only has two positions to choose from, is difficult to adjust, and weighs a freaking ton), it's just night and day.It's rare that I am so dang chuffed over a purchase that I feel COMPELLED to review it, but this one dear god was completely worth it. Improved my workspace 1000% times over and I'm pleased every time I see it and grateful every time I use it! What a spectacular piece of equipment!!!!
