1. Additional drilling and dowelling (what you do not want to do at each wall)
2. Inflexible if you eventually have to change the location for the monitor.
So I was looking for an-in design for a secure attachment of the monitor on the desk with the characteristics of a good
Wall mount (flexible adjustment).
By chance I came across the Ergotron LX LCD mount. As most reviews here on Amazon postiv I have
Ergotron LX LCD ordered the holder and am of the quality - with no restrictions - totally thrilled.
The attached manual is - as mentioned here several times - and thus incomprehensible eigendlich unusable.
This has apparently found the company Ergotron.
Therefore, there is at the company's home page a video that in the form of video tutorials, step by step, the construction of the holder
explains. Due to the simple visualization of assembly steps no questions remain open.
Even the installation of the monitor cable into the formations of the articulated arms is explained in detail.
This is exemplary !!!
Can be found on the website of ERGOTRON Products -> LX LCD Arm Desk Mount -> instructional video "How to install the LX Arm"
On the same page you can find also descriptions of the assembly operations as a pdf file to download.
For product:
1. Stability: very good, hardly a ringing lockable
2. Mounting at the desk: robust and solid housing for the swinging arm (suitable for table tops from 10 to 60 mm).
3. Adjustments: panning left (max.650 mm) to the right (max.650 mm) forward (max.650mm) and any interim management, pushing together at wall level (distance from wall 98 mm), adjust the height, swivel monitor mount ( Up 70 degrees, down 5 degrees) - and rotation (360 degrees with fixing).
4. possibility of adjustability of the resistance movement during pivoting (from heavy to light continuously)
The holder is not exactly cheap, but the price is fully justified for the quality.
For me, a very good product fulfills my expectations in every direction.
Update as of 14.03.2013: For those interested, I have my review supplemented with the video for mounting the monitor mount.
