I just wanted to point out that in the video Jassie didn't secure the arm pieces with the Allen key on both the LX and HX so potentially the arm could lift out when pulling a heavy monitor upwards. Make sure you follow the manual installation instructions.

You have made a very important point and we should always look at the manual to make sure we don't miss any steps.

@JassieKECG 2 года назад

Thank you for your comment Jaggi and i am glad you found the video helpful. For LG 40-inch, you will definitely need a HX arm. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for the no lip. You can get gromet mount but that will require you to drill a hole in your desk but for HX and a 40-inch ultra-wide monitor, gromet mount might not be stable enough. Hope this helps ma dude and all the best.

Hi Sylvia, Thank you so much for the comment. If I understood this right, you are talking about the plastic washer between the arm segment where the second section sits?

@JassieKECG 2 года назад

Hey 9988goat, thanks for your comment. The weight ratings are based on a flat screen display. All curved monitors are forward heavy and can cause a failure in the arm. For example, Ergotron HX comes with an optional heavy duty pivot mount just to support a 49inch, 1000R display like Samsung G9. For a 38inch curved, I think HX would be a safe option. Even if you mount 38inch curved on LX, it may wobble as you type on your keyboard, LX won’t be stable. Hope this helps my friend.

@jonw7697 2 года назад

Nice video! what is the main difference between HX and LX in terms of arm flexibility?

@JassieKECG 2 года назад

Hi Jon, other than the much greater load capacity of HX Arm. LX allows you to get your monitor much higher because of its pole length (the pole comes in three lengths) and the LX in the review can easily carry two monitors side by side or stacked on top of each other (with an optional LX Arm, extension and collar kit) or you can consider a dual arm LX. If you want to put three monitors side by side then HX is the only option with a triple bow kit. The differences are too many to specify for each application for both arm. If you have specific questions about your specific application and it hasn't already been answered, please let me know what would you like to know and I can address that specifically. Rest assured, Ergotron has a solution for wide range of configurations. I have tested a 32 inch professional monitor on HX and LX both and I find HX is much more sturdy than the LX. LX is still very sturdy but HX is definitely studier. If you are mounting something like G9 then HX is the only options with a HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot. I hope this answers your question, if I have missed anything, please feel free to comment again.

@shuhgaz5803 2 года назад

For the HX arm that you used, was it the regular $329 one or the $379 heavy-duty pivot combo? I plan on using the regular HX arm with a 32 inch Gigabyte monitor on my $200 Ikea table. Will the Ikea lightweight table handle the load without snapping at the base of the arm? Also, I plan on using the monitor at the left and right side of the table, where should I place the arm to optimize my viewing experiences on the left and right side of the table? Lastly, do I need additional parts for the VESA installation part (I've never done a VESA arm/wall monitor installation before)? Thanks for the great vid! It made me buy the regular HX instead of the LX because of your comment saying the LX still wasn't enough to hold a 32 inch without looking unstable/wobbly.

@JassieKECG 2 года назад

Hi There, Thanks for the comment. I used regular HX. You only need the Heavy-Duty Pivot if you are mounting something like a Samsung G9 49inch. Because of its extreme curve, it's very forward heavy monitor and HD pivot is designed for that. You'll be very happy with the standard HX and it will be very stable for your 32inch monitor. I can't comment on the desk you have however, I am guessing the 32inch monitor will be around 6-8kg which is not crazy heavy and to be safe, try not to extend the arm all the way out all the time. Ergotron arms do have a wider base, which helps distribute the weight and stress on the table much better. You can mount the arm where you want the monitor, if you have the arm extended all the way out to the left, right or forward, it puts more stress on the mount where the arm is holding the desk. You can extend the arm on most tables but since you have raised concerns about your desk, I would be conservative to start with but as you use your arm, you'll figure out what your desk can hold and what it can't. Hope this helps my friend, feel free to comment again if I have missed anything. All the best, you will be very happy with whichever arm you will purchase.

I should add Ergotron has revised the mount for the LX . It only has an Allen head screw to tighten the bases clamp, and a limited amount of thicknesses. I think it was 25-35 mm . Anyways my desk is just over 3/4” thick , so I had to add a piece of wood underneath the bottom clamp .

@JassieKECG 4 месяца назад

Or any other suggestions on how to fix this?

@JassieKECG Год назад

Hey Aleksandar, thanks for your comment brother. Small world hey. I have a Zen space desk, on oh my mate has a cheaper desk that is wobbly but one of the reason I bought the Zen because at the time of purchasing, it had the highest load rating because I have a few heavy items on my desk (book cubes, studio monitors etc). I tried LX on a Samsung and It could get wobbly but HX is super sturdy. I have a HX arm I am using on my desk, but if you want to test it first, I could loan it to you (given you'd pick up and drop it off). Hope this helps.

Hi Tirith, thanks for your comment. You can mount the arm on side of the desk but remember the monitor can only go as far as the length of the arm from the side so if your desk is wide, you may end up sitting in one corner because of limitation in Arms length. I also do recommend not to overloading the arm because in all extended configuration, you will be putting in a lot of load on the arm. Hope this helps and all the best.

Hi Mate, you can switch to portrait or landscape mode. If you are going to tie the cables in cable management channel, make sure you leave some slack on cables so they can rotate with the monitor. I learnt it the hard way the first time after tying all the cables, when I tried to rotate all the cables were too short. Hope this helps my friend.

Hi! Great video!! Planning to get one for my monitor. I have an LG 38” curved monitor and was thinking, will the LX variant be enough and able to support it? Again, great vid! You deserve a like and a sub good sir

@rustler08 8 месяцев назад

I would use the HX. The LX maxes out at 25lbs, but that's more for a flat screen. I used the LX for a G7 32", but I wouldn't use it for my 38".

@jonjones27 2 года назад

Hey mate, I just got an LG Ultragear 38" cuved monitor which weighs in at 15.4 lbs/7kg and VESA 100 X 100. Now, I checked on the official ergotron site and it writes there that neither the HX nor the LX are exactly compatible with my monitor... I am really confused as to why they aren't compatible and think that they both might work - but I'm no professional, just my two cents. Any advice would be appreciated.

@JassieKECG 2 года назад

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I just looked this up in the Ergotron mount finder tool and it says LX and Trace, both arms will be fine but having my 32inch on LX, I can tell you it's not as sturdy as HX. LX rocks a little bit if you type with a heavy hand on a mechanical keyboard (which is do sometimes) but it's still very secure and does not droop. If the budget is not an issue, you can get a HX and it will be rock solid, you will never need another arm again. However, LX is also a great option and it's far superior than almost all other non-branded arms. Hope this helps, feel free to comment again if you have any questions or feel free to connect via IG, Twitter or email and I can send you some screengrabs.

Thank you for your comment Mark, i am glad you found it helpful. I currently have two arms on my desk one on the left hand side and one on the right hand side each carrying a 27inch monitor because I like to keep the centre of the desk clean. You can mount your monitor arm on one side and extend the arm all the way so you can still have your monitor in the centre as long as you don't exceed the manufacturers' specifications with weight and size of the monitor. Also, make sure your desk is solid enough to hold that weight, you don't want the weight of the arm and the monitor to rip off your desk as i have heard of that happening with someone.

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. Ergotron's website has a mount finder and according to that you will be fine with Trace arm, LX or HX. But from my personal experience I would encourage you to consider HX. I find the LX to be too light for my Samsung 32inch monitor and I can only imagine it would be worst for 34inch curved monitor. I can't really make recommendation to mount on windowsill as I don't know what the load rating of that is. Mounting on windowsill can damage your window, so personally I do not recommend that.

Hey Liew, thanks for your comment. Just checked out the specs for Prism+ X340 Pro and it says it has 75 x 75 VESA mounting with included custom spacers. So make sure you still have those spacers from when you bought the monitor. The weight limit of 6.3kg means technically you can use either LX or HX monitor arms.
