I didn't really have to use my home office much until I had to work from home. And now because I spend long hours sitting here I've been thinking of ways to improve my desk setup. Originally, my laptop sat right on the desktop. Now I use a laptop stand to raise it up. But what happened here is that my 2nd monitor which has a fixed height is now lower than my laptop screen.
To fix that, I got a monitor mount from Mount Pro. With my new monitor arm, I can now align my screens and be able to look forward rather than having to look down which really eased the tension on my neck. In this video, I show you how to assemble the monitor arm so you won't need the printed instructions it came with.
There are some foam pads that go on the bottom corners of the base. These help prevent damage to the table surface. Now there's an L-bracket with 3 holes in a triangular pattern that needs to be attached to the base. Use three screws and an Allen wrench to connect these pieces. It's important to get these tight because the weight of the arm and monitor depends on this bracket.
Next, attach the screw clamp to the L-bracket using two more screws. Attaching this part completes the mounting bracket and allows it to grab onto a desk. And just so you know, this clamp can be used on desks up to 3.35 inches thick. If you have a thicker desk, you'll have to use the included grommet mount.
Once all the screws are tight, it's helpful to attach the base somewhere on your desk temporarily to make the next steps easier. Now let's grab the lower arm. This part can be identified with the sticker that says Base on one end. And all I have to do is slide and wiggle the arm onto the stud on the base. When it's all the way on, turn the small set screw in but don't over tighten it.
Now take the upper arm and insert it into the hole in the lower arm. Again, barely tighten the small set screw on the back. This helps prevent the arm from being accidently lifted off. At this time I can detach my computer monitor from it's original table stand and set it aside. Now find the included VESA mounting plate. This one has holes for 75x75 or 100x100 millimeter screw patterns.
Lay this plate onto the back of the monitor and securely attach it with the included screws. I'm using a 21-inch monitor here but the Mount Pro arm can handle screen sizes from 13 up to 32-inches. Once the screws are in, align the receiving bracket so it's vertical. Then slip the monitor onto the arm. Now attach the security bolt on top of the mount. It's definitely important you don't forget this step!
As mentioned before, the Mount Pro monitor mount can accommodate screens from 13 to 32-inches and has a weight capacity of 17.6 pounds. There are also versions that hold 2 monitors. Depending on load, the arm tension can be easily adjusted for different weights. A bonus feature is that cords are kept nice and tidy with built-in cable management.
And this next part was really important for me to know... with all the flexibility, I can still push my desk right up against the wall with the mount attached. It's actually very slim on the back. Finally, with my monitor off my desk I was able to gain additional workspace area on my desktop.
This monitor arm is ideal for all desks including standing desks like I'm using. The one I have in my office is a dual motor standing desk made by Woka. I'm really liking my new setup these days. My desk now has a sleek look and the ability to reposition my monitor easily in all directions.
