What it is for

This is the mount that most people in this catalogue end up with, and the review count reflects a long time on sale rather than a marketing push. It holds two screens from 13 to 32 inches at up to 17.6 lbs apiece, mounts by clamp or grommet, and does the ordinary job of getting two monitors level, aligned and off their stands. There is nothing unusual about it, which is why it works.

Check before you order. At 17.6 lbs per arm this is a rating for ordinary office panels. Two heavy 32 inch screens will exceed it, and the higher-rated dual mounts in the range exist for exactly that case.

What assembly actually means

Half an hour, and the part worth taking slowly is levelling. Fit both screens loosely, sit down in the working chair, then set the height and tilt from that position before final tightening. Two screens set level while standing over the desk almost never look level from a chair.

What it changes

One base for two screens removes the gap that two separate stands leave between panels, which is what makes a dual setup read as one wide display.
Independent height on each arm allows a mismatched pair of monitors to be aligned by their top edges rather than by their bases.
Clamp and grommet hardware in the same box keeps the mount usable across a desk change.

Figures as published for this model. Anything that has never been published is left out rather than estimated.

Where this one sits among the 18

The same figures as every other page in this section, lined up against the section itself. Being the biggest at something is not the same as being the best at it, so the last column says where a number puts this model and leaves the judgement to you.

Figure	This model	All 18 mounts	Where that puts it
Largest screen it takes	32 in	27 to 49 in	Bigger than 2 of the other 17
Smallest screen it takes	13 in	13 to 17 in	The smallest of the 18
Weight per arm	17.6 lb	17.6 to 37.4 lb	The lightest-duty of the 18
Screens carried	2	1 to 3	More than 6 of the other 17

Ranges cover only the mounts that publish the figure at all; a model that has never published one is left out of that row rather than counted as a zero.

Where it sits in the range

Of the 18 mounts in this section this is the sixth cheapest: 5 cost less, 12 cost more, and the section runs from $19.98 to $89.99. It carries a published list price of $34.99, so the figure above is below that rather than the usual asking price.

There is no figure here on which it beats everything cheaper in the section, so if none of the 5 below it is missing something you need, the difference is colour, top size or finish rather than capability.

It carries 22,677 customer reviews at 4.4 out of five, with 7 of the other 17 rated higher. Those numbers come from the retail listing and are reproduced rather than curated, including when they are unflattering.
