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 mounted 2: Assembly - almost too easy; 32 lb monitor mounted solo VERY easily 3: Ease of use - very very smooth 4: Aesthetics - good looking; aluminum look only comes in white but matches the black items in the room I have well 5: Quality - clearly built to last 6: Warranty 7: Company is known and has a US presence Here is what I don't like: 1: Price - it is expensive The 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.

This monitor arm is extremely well made, durable and a lot more heavy then I thought it would be. So, overall the construction of the arm and it's design is very well made, heavy solid materials. It comes shipped in a great packaging, it's nice to see care in how much care went into packing. The assembly is relatively easy with just 3 parts that connect with a few screws to tighten. I'm using this arm with an LG 38" Ultra Wide monitor that I believe is about 15lbs in weight and it can easily move around without struggle on the arm. If you have a lighter monitor or a smaller sized one, you may have difficulty with the arm keeping a monitor in a low position. If the monitor is light weight < 12-13lbs it may want to lift up on it's own due to the heavy spring action. I had a smaller monitor on it while waiting for my ultra-wide and it was kind of comical. I added weight to the monitor to keep it down a bit. It supports VESA 100x100 and 200x200 on the mounting bracket. I feel like this is a good standard for newer monitors. The mount is sturdy and supports a really good range of movement tilting up and down as well as a full rotation on it's side. The arm movement is really reasonable in it's range of movement. I'm even able to drop my monitor down a bit lower than the clamp. The arm assembly also includes options to mount the arm with a desk clamp, or through a drilled hole. It has good options for mounting the arm as needed. I'm really satisfied with this purchase and can see this arm lasting a really long time - probably much longer than my new monitor. I highly recommend getting it.

It's very strong and looks good. It easily holds my 35lb 49" curved monitor. I'm not sure it's worth the extra money but it is good quality and looks good too

Strong and quality made but there are less expensive alternatives e.g., $130 Huanuo brand that are equal in quality and functionality.

I received this arm today and mounted a Seiki SM40UNP monitor on it, which is ~38lbs and 40". So far so good! The arm handles the weight well, even at maximum extension. The HX is less maneuverable than the LX, as you might expect from a much heavier arm designed for much heavier loads. The HX is significantly more stable than the LX though - there's very little flex in any part of the arm, so the monitor doesn't wobble much when you poke it. On the lowest joint of the arm there's a little screw. If you screw it in like the instructions say, it limits the rotation of the first arm section to 180 degrees. This is great if your desk is against a wall, but mine is not. If you loosen that screw you get the full 360-degree rotation with no apparent loss of stability. Make sure you have a sturdy desk. The surface area of the clamp is great, but at full extension there's still a huge amount of force trying to rip your desk apart. Before mounting your monitor, push down on the arm at full extension until it starts to move and observe the reaction of your desk. That's approximately how much force your desk will have to endure with the monitor attached. I chose the Ergotron HX over the Humanscale M8 and Locktek's heavy duty arm, and so far I think I made the right choice. It looks and feels premium and sturdy, and comes with good instructions and labeled parts/tools. Pros: - Handles the 40" Seiki with ease - Stable, no wobble - Easy to install Cons: - Was covered in fingerprints within minutes (aluminum-trimmed model) - The two lowest joints (the one at the desk and the next one up) move sluggishly

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!!!!

This is expensive, but right away, it's apparent that the quality and strength are unsurpassed. I used it on a Dell 42.5" UltraSharp U4323QE Hub monitor with built-in VESA holes. Screws and posts for many monitors are supplied, but I recommend this combination. The additional USB ports are easily accessed with this monitor arm. When installing this, my former HP 42.5 UHD Z43 monitor detached from its mount when I turned it over and dropped on the Ergotron, shattering the screen and not being covered by the extended warranty. (I am a bonehead). The Z43 required an optional external mount for VESA, which I didn't realize before I bought the monitor. Smashing the screen saved me the hassle of getting the optional add-on VESA mount from HP (and it would have been a hassle). I purchased this monitor arm because I wanted more than the HP mount, although the monitor was good. The HP monitor is a few hundred cheaper and a good one, but if you get that, take a very close look at the VESA situation, the stand on the HP I bought was not adequate for the size of the monitor. The monitor was a couple of years old so they might have corrected this, but caveat emptor. This is so much better than the shaky, poorly adjusting HP stand that I feel better about stupidly shattering the HP. Also, this monitor bolts directly onto the arm via VESA holes the HP didn't have. The resolution on the HP might have been better, but the Dell is easier to operate. It's a shame HP made a pretty good monitor and then skrimped on the stuff that makes it work ergonomically.
