Please add the tiers in the description or use chapters on the video. It's not clear which monitor is in S tier, can't find the timestamp, nothing in description.
Frfr now I gotta watch the video all over again because I didn't realize that he didn't put the names of each of them and what tier they were in in the description lol
Fr I don't know why he didn't do this
It was the Humanscale M10 that he put in the S tier. Time stamp is 7:05
Damn modern humans, no working memory, no ability to take notes

ty honestly didn't want to watch a 16 min long video on monitor arms
this should be in the descriptions, whos the idiot running this channel
Thank you for making this! I've been searching for the right arm for weeks and theres honestly not that much info online comparing differnt options! Perfect timing.
Thanks for a great look at different arms. Definitely helping to make some purchasing decisions.
For a 49” Samsung oled which arm would you recommend? Thank you.
I think I’m gonna go with the huano single spring do you think this is the best budget single arm or is there better options?
Very helpful...Thank you!
Thanks for the tier list ! But can you recommend me one that tilts up to 90 degrees? So I can rest my hand on it, I need that for my pen display for drawing comfortably
Been using the North Bayou Dual Monitor, 22''-32'' for a two monitor setup and it's worked fantastically, not great on cable management, springs seem to hold up over time (got a single monitor version before but wanted a dual one). Single usb extension and cost around 55 it's pretty good instead of spending more than 100 on stuff that performs worse or just the same, buy something that actually can hold weight.
Great list. I've been using a CBS wishbone that I picked up used. I like my monitors to be as static as possible so being able to tighten all the screws to make it more rigid than my desk is nice. I also love the looks of the post and the arms. The c-clamp takes up very little space.
I need something with a deeper c clamp due to desk framing being in the way.
Which arm has a deep c clamp?
Awesome vid!
What arm do you recommend for the Samsung g9 57 inch?
I just bought 2x HP P34HC curved 34" Ultrawide 4K monitors (head weight=17.3 lb), I have an adjustable sit/stand desk, I'm planning on keeping the monitors in 1x landscape and 1x portrait config, and I want a grommet-mount dual-arm setup in an all-white minimalist esthetique. If the specs on a mount say 2x30" monitors, would that work for my 2x34" since 1 of the monitors will be in portait config (not as wide), or does that rating have something to do with centre of gravity or something? Is there a dual-arm mount that you would recommend for this setup? I don't want garbage, but I can't afford a $750 Ergotron. Thank you.
Very informative video.
Stacked arrangement is really underrated. It's nice to see it mentioned.
Dual stacked UltraWide monitors would be S tier arrangement :) -Greg
which arm is best for 2 monitors 27 and 34' stacked??@@btodtv
Im not shure about that :/ a had been working with 2x 32 inch stacked and OH BOY my neck protest to continue this jurne :D
i am looking for an arm that holds an 42" Oled with max distance, maybe even further then the table is. can you recommand something?
I still have 2 of those vivo mounts. One since 2016 and the other 2017. Both holding 34" ultrawides for 7 yrs.
I've had an arm similar to the VIVO basic (probably the same one but different brand) and can vouch for it.
I've had it for about 8 years? and still works great.
Now this year I've moved houses twice and all of the plastic parts started breaking (allen key holder, cable guides all of them are broken).
Are there any good wall mounted solutions that do not require a lot of space behind the monitor? Closest thing i can think of is Multibrackets Flexarm but it doesnt provide all degrees of movement.
I have a 38" lg monitor. What arm would you recommend?
Have you tried the Ergotron tabletop stands? In this video you reviewed a low cost tabletop and I already presumed it would be of dubious quality. But what about the Ergotron Neo-Flex Monitor Stand or Neo-Flex Touchscreen Stand products?
What is your opinion about ergotron tace dual? Is it worth to buy it?
I recently bought a vivo monitor arm and the bracket doesn’t fit into my ASUS monitor. Is this a common thing? The screw holes are sunken in a circular hole in the back of the monitor and the bracket is too big to fit onto it. I was surprised because I thought all monitors had to have the same 100x100 or 75x75mm holes in them
What kind of Asus monitor do you have?
You might need to remove something on the back of the Asus monitor

Would love a review of the Herman Miller Ollin monitor arm if possible!
Using monitor arms with ultrawide monitors can be a pain because getting the horizontal leveling just right is tricky. I need my monitor closer for gaming and farther away for coding. But every time I move it to the front/back, it messes up the horizontal leveling. If you have a solution, I'm all ears!
3d printed swingaway kickstands on the bottom ends of the monitor?
Do you have any idea about the ricoo ts3811 if it's worth or not ??
Thank you, Ted Lazo!
im looking into getting a monitor arm for my LG 42 OLED but im stuck between choosing the ergotron and the avlt hd. which one would you recommend for the lg?
If money is not a concern, I'd go with the Ergotron. If you're trying to save, then right now the AVLT is like 20% off or $200ish, so about 50% less than the Ergotron. Both will work -Greg
any suggestion for how to mount apple display 30 inch ? Thanks
Can you test the Bewiser S1020? It seems to be one of the only arms than works with the g9 57.
why don't any of them have a rotation lock? every time the monitor is moved closer or further away it rotates ever so slightly and is no longer parallel to the table...
ergotron hx has 2 versions, HD and non HD (heavy duty), the non HD version works with my lg c2 42" and lighter monitors
I've used both clamp arms (straight and articulating) and free-standing straight arms. Obviously an articulating arm allows for more precise placement, but that placement can be less secure and more prone to unintended movement and bounce. And clamp arms take up less desk space. But an articulating arm can be frustrating to get just right left to right, and repositioning the clamp always seem to be needed no matter where I first place it. Freestanding straight arms to easier to get placed just right left to right. Currently I'm trialing a pair of Mountup freestanding dual vertical stands. They have segmented vertical locations, kind of like shelf pegs, so exact height is incrementally, not infinitely adjustable, but also a lot easier to set up. I got my 39" UW low and 29" UW high placements to work just fine, and they're very secure, no bounce at all. And the plate glass is raised a bit but flat, so low things can sit on it and it's pretty much not there in terms of taking up space. Loving these so far.
I've got a North Bayou with a post and aside from it being fussy when I need to adjust it I do like it, but they don't seem to sell this model any more. I keep looking at the Amazon Basics because it seems to handle adjustments better but I don't think it's going to be a big enough improvement to justify spending 3x the money.
hi, i have 2 monitors, and i see options cheapest a ergotron lx, the NB h 180, but, i dont know if this arm its nearly of a cuality of an ergotron, i know its better than the NB if you expose in the video
Solid tier list, but I'm wondering about the Ergotron MXV. Any specific reason it didn't make your top picks?
That is very similar to the LX, you just don't have the flexibility of the range of post lengths -Greg
Do all monitor arms wobble? I had a cheap one that wobbled terribly when gaming. To the point I mounted them to the wall. Unfortunately this isn't an option in my new house.
I simply need a straight pole monitor arm that slides the monitor up and down. I can’t stand these offset poles. What’s my solution??
So i have a specific problem. I´d ideally want a monitor arm, a laptop arm and a really stable keyboard + mouse arm on one pole. Monitor and keyboard arm can also be one, but not super beneficial for my use case. The thing is i want every arms head to be able to rotate 90 degrees down. Haven´t seen any products that fit my needs yet. Are you aware of any viable options?
I know a few but they ain't cheap thats why I don't have it lol😅
How come you haven't made any triple monitor arm reviews? I'm interested in particular in the Duronic DM553, since it's the only triple arm where the center monitor can be moved forward and backward, but can't find any videos about this!
My favorite style for dual monitors is one with a cross bar. I've got an older Humanscale M8, and adore it. I've had ESI and Workrite before. I just wish I could find the handlebar for this old M8 version...
That is without question the best setup for dual monitors that are side by side and you plan to make frequent height adjustments-Greg
Are you guys planning on doing a standing desk ranking video that include the flexispot E7 in the near future?
Probably not in the near future, but within the first few months of 2024 -Greg
can u do a dual 32" monitor tier list? or recommend a S-tier one?
should've categorized the arms in the description by tiers so those interested don't have to re-watch the video to find the arm they liked
What type of mount arms do you recommend for a L shape desk for dual monitors? Best to go with 2 singles or do a dual arm mount?
Definitely two singles. If you go for a single mount, you either won't have enough reach to get both monitors where you want them, or you'll have to drill a hole in the middle of your desk, limiting the desk space available. I have two L desks with 3 monitors on each (one for my work PC, one for my personal PC), and I got 6 single arms, 100% happy with my decision.
You keep mentioning how low quality the horizonal monitor arm's in this review were, but didn't review a higher quality alternative.
Any suggestions for dual 27" and zero space behind the desk?
Hey! I'm in the same position and recently came across the Ergotron NX - a pole mount from a reputable brand. not many, but good reviews on Amazon, and one review on UA-cam both saying that it's a solid option. Will keep you updated when I order in a few weeks :)
Apologies just remembered you're looking for dual monitors RIP
Have you heard of or tried the quarx dual monitor stand
Have you tested the Ergotron NX?
i see many monitor arms that use the same design as some of these, so i fail to recognize what would make them better quality. I got a double arm with a post, and after a year with a 5kg 32" monitor and moving it every now and then, the "elbow" between both parts bacame a bit loose. Not sure if the design is similar in that part, i see these have a long post on the "elbow" to mount both together, mine has the tension adjust on the top and a bolt below, the diameter of this elbow union is about 3cm, not very much
Would be nice that you also review Herman Miller arms and desks, even if they suck. Mainly because it's a brand that is well know for office purposes, even if they don't dominate all areas
What is the model/brand of the white desk with the black legs used near the end of the video?? I’m looking for something like that for my setup
That is the our BTOD KANE Desk -Greg
@@btodtv thank you Greg 🙏🏼 I appreciate it
what the best arm monitor for thick desk?
Interested to see you guys review Flo monitor arms and atlas desk from Herman miller.
Hello this is quite off topic, I’ve been having an eye on the razer fujin chair by razer but haven’t came across a review video. I was wondering if you would be able to do a review of it. Thank you !
Why are you interested in that chair? -Greg
@@btodtv because I’ve never used a mesh chair and the razer fujin recently came out and I don’t know if the quality is good for that price
I haven't used it, but won't be surprised when/if the cost to value lacks significantly on that chair. Comfort as well -Greg
@@btodtv okay thank you so much on your thoughts😁
I own 2 Vivo basic (single) arms. They 'just work' for 24 and 27". Don't expect to move the monitor around. The idea is to leave your monitor in a fixed position
so you bought the single version then added another arm? does it look any different than the original dual version?
@@LightYagami675S The space used. My particular scenario I had both arms to the sides to a bigger monitor that was in the middle of my desk. Due to lack of space to mount all 3 monitor stands. My side monitors were 'hanging mid air' (or so to say).
These arms were on the desk's edge.
I've never used a dual arm. However I'd think it's a hassle as one arm would determine it's both monitor positions
Im torn between the Ergotron Hx or the Humanscale m10 for my Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd gen. Cost is not a concern, I'm leaning towards the Humanscale, what wld you recommend...?
If cost isn't a concern and you want the best of the best....then Humanscale. But the Ergotron HX will get you 80% there for 50% less money, but you said money wasn't an issue so those are typically who jump up to the Humanscale -Greg
Humanscale is a beast 💪
I just ordered a monitor arm from german manfacturer Assmann with their inhouse brand Digitus. Price-wise it's entry-level, I paid 52 € (57 $ US). It should arrive in the next couple days. I hope I'm as satisfied with it as I am with their on-table monitor stand which I bought like 15 years ago for a similar price and am still using.
Interesting name.... -Greg
@@btodtv I don't have the slightest little bit of an idea what's so interesting about it. "Digitus" is just a normal name 😅😉
@@Cobinjahe is referring to "ASSman(n)"
This list doesn't have the amazon best selling HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand. How come?
I think your team should try out the Dell MSA20 monitor arm. It's the best monitor arm I came across in terms of quality and ease of setup.
Yeah I believe we should look at it as well. Looking like it has solid cable management -Greg
It looks like a great arm, I just with it had an additional setting to lock it in place or a tensioner to keep it from swinging too easily once setup.
Would've loved to see Dell's MSA20/MDA20 monitor arms to see how they stack up.
Same, I have the AW 32 inch and I keep coming back to this arm. Iv read that it’s very stable and no wobble when typing. That’s important to me
I'm still trying to find my answer for the ncihest of set ups: what is a good arm for stacked ultrawides.
That would be an epic set up for sure -Greg
thank you
You're welcome -Greg
You guys should take a look at the Dell MSA20 monitor arms, they're super high quality
Can you please add tier info along with the links? Helps folks like us who forget easily 😁
Any thoughts on the Ergotron Trace?
No, but that looks very interesting. Especially for wire concealment and those with depth issues from desk or wall space -Greg
9:55 What is that triangular wall covering'
I got the Mount-It! - Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount from Best Buy for 80$. Been using it for a year and its practically all metal. Holds well and holds cabvles well, well, as long as they arent mega thicc lol
what about the hemyix dual arm montor stand the price is 43 $ dollar
Have you guys tried any monitor arms from colebrook bosson saunders?
We have not, but that looks to be part of the MillerKnoll collective of brands. I would assume the quality should be good and the prices fairly high. I don't see that it is available in the US market -Greg
What about the MSA20 from dell?
should review the ergear single monitor arm for the 90 bucks it seems like a great deal even compared to the vivo hd
9:46 Excuse me as I am not familiar with the nomenclature here, but what does Maxing Out mean?
Max = maximum = the upper limit of something. The max supported monitor weight of the arm he's talking about is 19.8 lb. Hence, maxing out = attaching a 19.8 lb monitor to the arm.
@@ByTheRiverHelge Weight. Thank you. I know what maxing out means but in the video it sounded vague. after googling it I still didn't find anything. Could be size, could have to do with the stand.. No clue. Thanks.
Great video and the only one I have seen that mention the spring of the ergotron HX being too strong even totally unscrewed (3:50) for 42" oled (let's just call it LG C2).
I bought it and it's a minor inconvenience but it should be noted, and that even with the 300x200 adaptor plate, it's still not heavy enough. I wonder how the LX would fare
I'm using the Invision MX900, they cost €90 and can hold 2x12kg monitors (equal to 2 Samsung ultrawide G9's), they're build much better than many more expensive options and are the most sturdy arms I've ever used.
Might be worth testing.
That product is essentially the Huano Dual Spring. It would definitely not support an ultrawide -Greg
If you’re gonna make a review and talk about price points, it’s probably a good idea to make sure you add a price to every arm in the video and not just whichever ones you feel like
Too lazy to pop over to Amazon and check it out yourself?
@@_BrodyChambers_ shouldn’t have to, I’m watching a review video and they are failing to properly review
Can you do a video on purely wall mounted arms!
Would be curious how many are interested in that, hopefully they'll comment as well! -Greg
thank you for paying with blood with this review
not to be rude but this is so useless without a summary at the end/name on the list. you expect me to watch this video 3 times to get the actual information i came here for?
It seems the Amazonbasic monitor arm is discontinued.
disappointed that the Ollin monitor arm wasnt included in this ranking list.
16:54 Everything is blocked by end card.
I need help. I need grey or silver mounts for a monitor with a resolution of 21:9 and a weight of about 9-12 kg
it's a nice video, but the selection of included models feels very random and not presented in an ordered way.
The Vivo Premium HD you mention is "mostly metal", but isn't that piece (that you're touching at 13:12) that connects the monitor vesa plate to the arm molded plastic? Has this recently been upgraded because it was definitely molded plastic on their other models.
dont agree with huanuo low rank, this arms are very good for their price. Ergotron cost as set of like 5-8 those arms
Huanuo has a few different models. Their upper range one is super smooth and nice to use. The lower end one (in this video) is trash in comparison. Not sure why they didn't review that one as well.
can someone tell me which one is winner ? cant find in description and i dont wanna waste 15 minutes
Actually, add the tiers in the description or chapter the video.
with long monitor arm, just put the pole at one side of the desk, and extend the arm completely, and you can move your desk a little bit to you, and now pushing the arm to the wall, you have more space in your desk with more visibillity, and the monitor more stick to the wall.
for dual monitor arm poles, just bend the monitor arm where you will put a vertical monitor, and adjust from the back, because of the mechanism, there's differences which you can adjust, and apply the same before concept for both, so now you have dual monitor setup and moar space on your desk.
the guy just adjust from the front, in both videos he have. where's the logic. xd wtf.

I just bought the ticova chair after having a bad gaming chair for 8 years. and people on reddit say ticova is bad :(
Ticova is really good for $139. But it is still a $139 chair. Which is why we say to keep your expectations in line with the cost of the chair -Greg
@@btodtv you rated gaming chairs at F (mine really is an F) and ticova at C (got it for 110€ from amazon) so Im still excited (arrives friday) to test it myself :)
I have the ticova, it’s great for the price. But it can’t compete with $500+ chairs which is probably what Reddit is reffering to
@@KhaosVFX got mine a couple hours ago, it really is a good upgrade compared to my gaming chair. I will keep it @BTODtv thanks for the reccomendation
