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

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.

Clear assembly instructions. I mounted 2 of them to my desk and have been happy with the maneuverability and sturdiness

Really solid build and functions as it should… HOWEVER, the page lists that the pole included is 16 inches when in fact it is 15. I countermised this by placing a 1” spacer on my desk and widening the clamp. Holds up my 29” UW just fine in about any position!

good quality

Sturdy not flimsy. Screws, bolts, washers, and tools enclosed. Written instructions are clear and accurate. Drawings are intuitive and helpful.

Why did I not buy this before? Totally cleared up my desk space. Very customizable positioning and is holding up my big LG monitor nicely. I love how easy it is to rotate it around and tilt it however I need. I adjust it daily as I make content and need to change my seating position to change my background setting for the camera. Highly recommend this over the stand included with your monitor.

It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it does work well to hold up the 22" TV on my desk. Since it is a basic stand even at the highest point, the montor is only about 5" off the desktop but for what I want it to do, that is fine....

My god, I've assembled dual and triple monitor mounts and had less of a hard time than I did putting this thing together. First off, WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT SIZED ALLEN WRENCHES?! Did I count 4...5? You have to be kidding me. No mid-sized furniture should ever require more than two, LET ALONE A DESK ACCESSORY. This is the most needlessly complicated assembly I have ever seen in my life and it even came with written instructions. The washers behind the mounting plate is the most superfluous step I've ever seen. It's completely unnecessary unless you plan on having your monitor mounted for...hmmm, 10 maybe 15 years. 99% of consumers with a desktop setup at home don't even keep their monitors for that long. A MONITOR WILL NEVER NEED WASHERS TO HELP SUPPORT ITS WEIGHT BECAUSE THEY HARDLY WEIGH ANYTHING.I have done VESA mounts for decades and not a single one of them asked you to put washers behind the mounting plate and pray they stay at bay. Just my luck, the last one got jiggled out of place by my screwing in the other 3, and there I was with two toothpicks, playing the lamest game of hockey in world history, mumbling under my breath about how I hope contagious explosive diarrhea makes its way through whichever R&D team was responsible for this. I've mounted ultrawides and 55" TVs in buildings that didn't allow stud mounting (studless mounting plate, basically 30 nails to significantly redistribute the weight), and they didn't require washers. Amazon, I'm a big fan of your electric screwdriver, your shelving, your jeans. Stay the heck away from anything involving mounting. You suck at this, so badly.
