Introduction to the monitor arm
When it comes to the monitor stand, you may have some doubts. Don’t all monitors come with their own stand?In fact, the monitor comes with a stand that I prefer to call the base.A better stand also allows the monitor to rotate swivel, and vertically (switching between vertical and horizontal).Most of them support only a small tilt.
Even with the supposedly user-friendly base, the stand cannot be adjusted at will due to the limitations of the base.The professional monitor stand is designed to solve this problem by freeing the monitor from the shackles of the monitor base and allowing 360°adjustment.
Why do we need to buy a monitor arm?
In my opinion, a good monitor stand can greatly improve our happiness when using the monitor.
First, it allows us to adjust the position of the monitor very flexibly, which can effectively relieve the discomfort of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, and ensure that your visual Angle can be flush with the monitor.
Second, it can also effectively save our desktop space, especially for some friends with small desktops.
The main points of purchase of monitor arms
1.Single screen and multiple screens
At present, the display bracket can be divided into single-screen bracket, dual-screen bracket and multi-screen bracket according to the number of bracket arms.You can choose according to the number of monitors you have.You can even use the monitor and laptop together with the monitor stand.
2.Installation Method
At present, there are two main ways to fix the display bracket:
Table clamp type: through the bracket base and the edge of the desktop clamping, the general requirements of the desktop thickness of 10~100mm
Perforated type: through the desktop punching, bracket through the table hole, the general requirements of the table hole diameter in 10~80mm
Always consider the desktop when installing a monitor stand. Many people who buy a monitor stand may end up unable to install it.
The desktop is too thin or too thick is not conducive to the installation of the monitor bracket, if your table is customized, such as the table attached to the wall structure, then it is not able to clamp, also may not be willing to drill holes, this situation needs to be careful to choose the monitor bracket.
If the desktop edge has beams, wooden block and other external frame is not able to install the bracket, some desktop do chamfering or modeling will also affect the installation, so before the installation of the display bracket must check the actual situation of their desktop.
You can choose your own installation method according to your actual situation. You must communicate with customer service to confirm whether the desktop can be installed.
3.Load-bearing range
The bearing capacity of the monitor bracket is the key to the smooth lifting. When choosing, try to choose large rather than small, if the weight of the monitor exceeds the maximum bearing capacity of the support, a little touch the monitor may fall. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the size and weight of the monitor support. Most office monitors and game monitors in the market weigh less than 5 to 8KG. There are also some super sized ribbon screens and overweight professional monitors that weigh more than 10KG or close to 14KG. When selecting the monitor bracket, it must be within the bearing range of the monitor bracket to ensure safety and stability.
4.Suitable size
The current mainstream computer monitor sizes are 21.5, 24, 27, 32 inches. Many ribbon screens are 34 inches, or even 49 inches. Therefore, you must check the applicable size of the support when choosing the monitor bracket.Otherwise, there may be a situation of touching the desktop when switching between horizontal and vertical screens.
5.Material
The material of the display bracket is basically divided into aluminum alloy, carbon steel and plastic.
The best material is carbon steel.It’s durable.The price is the most expensive;
Aluminum alloy material is more popular.Most of the support on the market are aluminum alloy material.It’s ptretty cost-effective.
Plastic has a relatively short life and is the cheapest.
It is recommended to choose aluminum alloy or carbon steel material, the cost performance will be relatively high.
6.How to choose pneumatic mechanical type
Display support as a mechanical device, There are two types in the current market, the mainstream pressure spring type and mechanical spring type.
In terms of mechanical structure, the two types are not superior or inferior, and both require certain technology.
The pneumatic spring’s monitor stand is smoother in lifting than the mechanical use of the spring monitor stand, and will be accompanied by a gas-like sound during operation.
Mechanical springs are more durable than pneumatic springs and therefore theoretically last longer and are more reliable. However, there are also some disadvantages. The recoil force of the mechanical spring support will be relatively strong, that is, the resistance is often said. In the case of improper use, it may lead to body collision injury.
The gas spring bracket is easier to control and rotate than the mechanical spring bracket. It does not need any external structure to stop at any place in use, and there is no additional locking force, so it can realize free hovering.
So my advice is to choose pneumatic springs for a smoother free-floating experience, and choose mechanical for durability.
7.RGB light
For digital enthusiasts or on a budget, consider a monitor stand with RGB light effects.
8.Cabble management
The display bracket comes with a cable slot, which can hide the messy lines behind the display and import them under the table, making the desktop look and feel more tidy.
Before purchasing a monitor support, make sure that your monitor has reserved VESA panel holes
At present, the computer monitor on the market can basically use the monitor bracket, many monitors are reserved for the monitor external mounting hole.
The technical term is VESA panel interface, and the interfaces are all standard specifications, so you can basically install them.
However, some models do not support it, so it is necessary to confirm whether the VESA panel hole is reserved for your monitor before you plan to purchase the monitor bracket.
