The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Monitor Arm

Verify VESA patterns
Most arms support 75x75 mm and 100x100 mm VESA patterns. Match your display plate to avoid adapters and ensure a secure fit.
Pick the right mounting style
Clamp mounts are the fastest install, while grommet mounts deliver a cleaner desk edge. Wall mounts free surface space for compact environments.
Measure your workspace
Arm length, height adjustment, and desk thickness are the make-or-break details. Map your sitting posture and eye line before buying.
