What do the specifications in monitor arms represent?
Monitor arms, also known as monitor mounts or monitor stands, are an essential ergonomic accessory that help raise your monitor to your desired height. Depending on the model, they can be mounted to either a desk or a wall, allowing users to adjust monitor position and height for optimal comfort and productivity. Monitor arms promote healthier posture by reducing strain on the neck and shoulders, supporting efficient workflows in office settings. They come in various configurations and feature adjustable arms for customised viewing angles, making them essential for ergonomic workstations.
The different features can be hard to decipher, so we have curated a list below of what each specification represents:
- Maximum Height – Height from desktop to middle of monitor screen
- Reach Range = Maximum Reach – Depth from base to user across the desk + Arm Retraction – How out from base the arm sticks out
- Maximum Width – Width between the centre of each monitor
- Arm Swivel – Arm moves around from base
- 180° Lock Out – Provides option to limit arm swivel to avoid collision with desk, walls or privacy screens
- Quick Release – Allows monitor to be taken off or added on quickly without tools
- Quick Mount – Helps installation with tool
- Dynamic Height Adjustability - Allows monitor arm to be moved up and down separate to the overall height adjustment
- Tension Adjustment - Where manual adjustment is required to set the correct tension for the screen to balance at the desired height
- Rotation – How far clockwise/counter-clockwise the screen can rotate
- Pan – How far the screen moves sideways when grasped from the sides of the screen
- Tilt – How far the screen moves backwards and forwards when grasped from the top edge or bottom edge of the screen
What is the difference between a clamp and a grommet?
The main difference between a clamp and a grommet, especially when considering monitor arms, lies in how they attach the arm to your desk or workstation surface.
Clamp Mount:
- Attaches to the desk edge by clamping onto it with a screw mechanism.
- Versatile and suitable for desks of various thicknesses with a flat edge.
Grommet Mount:
- Requires a pre-drilled hole (grommet hole) in the desk surface for installation.
- Provides a clean appearance without a visible clamp on the desk edge, ideal for desks with thinner edges.
Key Difference:
- Attachment Method: Clamp mounts clamp onto the desk edge, while grommet mounts require a pre-drilled hole in the desk.
- Desk Compatibility: Clamp mounts are versatile and can be used on desks of different thicknesses, whereas grommet mounts are best for desks with thinner edges or for a cleaner aesthetic.
Both options securely hold monitor arms in place, so the choice depends on your desk type, thickness, and preference for appearance.
