What it is for

Gaming setups move the monitor more than office setups do: forward for a session, back for work, tilted for a co-op split. This arm is built around that, with joints that hold position under repeated adjustment rather than needing re-tightening. It takes 13 to 34 inch screens up to 19.8 lbs and mounts by desk clamp.

Check before you order. There is no grommet option in this box, unlike the cheaper arms in the range. If the desk has a grommet hole and no clampable edge, one of the clamp-or-grommet models is the one to buy instead.

What assembly actually means

Clamp only, so the first step is finding a clear stretch of back edge with no crossbar behind it. On a standing desk this is worth checking before opening the box, because the frame crossbar sits close to the rear edge on some tops and leaves the clamp nothing to bite on.

What it changes

Joints that keep their setting under frequent movement are the difference between an arm that gets adjusted daily and one that gets set once and left.
Pulling a screen forward for a session and pushing it back afterwards recovers the desk surface without unplugging anything.
Cable routing through the arm keeps the display and power leads out of the way of a keyboard that gets moved around.

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	34 in	27 to 49 in	Bigger than 12 of the other 17
Smallest screen it takes	13 in	13 to 17 in	The smallest of the 18
Weight per arm	19.8 lb	17.6 to 37.4 lb	Stronger than 7 of the other 17
Screens carried	1	1 to 3	The fewest of the 18

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.

What the extra money actually buys

Figures on which this model beats every cheaper mount in the section, rather than beating a convenient one.

Largest screen it takes 34 in. Bigger than every one of the 1 cheaper model that publish this figure, the best of which is 32 in.
Weight per arm 19.8 lb. Stronger than every one of the 1 cheaper model that publish this figure, the best of which is 17.6 lb.

Where it sits in the range

Of the 18 mounts in this section this is the second cheapest: 1 costs less, 16 cost more, and the section runs from $19.99 to $79.98. It carries a published list price of $42.99, so the figure above is below that rather than the usual asking price.

Against everything cheaper in the section it is ahead on two figures: largest screen it takes at 34 in and weight per arm at 19.8 lb. That is the useful comparison, because it is the part of the price you can point at.

It carries 4,128 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.
