Ergotron LX Ultrawide Monitor Stand Setup and Review ¦ You NEED one if you have a monitor!!

[@NguyenJulian]

The most thoughtful and well-planned review I’ve ever seen. Straightforward and gives me all the details I need. Thank you so much, man! I’m buying.

[@thejohnbeck]

the fact that you install the base, then attach top half to monitor, and put them together is OUTSTANDING. it makes taking it apart much easier than any other arm I've seen.

[@dan110024]

You're a legend for mentioning the depth of the bracket beneath the table. I was wondering that seconds before you said it!

[@debbitydeb4184]

Probably the best organized and clearest video of any kind I’ve watched on KZbin-outstanding

[@zedzpan]

Thank you. Just got one from ebay which came with no screws or bits so needed to figure out how to install it. Your video has given me so much useful information.

[@omaior20]

I'm so impressed by how detailed this videos is. Just amazing.

[@nospamful]

Hi, thanks for the review! I just saw that Ergotron make a "LX Grommet Mount Kit" that allows you to install the arm though a hole in your desk so you don't have to cut the desk frame - just drill a hole and install through the hole. Cheers

[@sl-rt5kv]

This is easily the best review of this monitor arm. Very imformative and will be a huge help when it comes to setting up my new Ergotron LX. Thanks!

[@apptesting3785]

One of very few videos that are simple in explanation, that's we all need, no drama or music in back ground etc. keep it up, good work, also, plz add some more details in description of video, current details are enough, but a little more such as monitor model number would be more beneficial.

[@EverythingPractical]

Thank you for the kind words and feedback! I will update the discussion soon :)

[@param5756]

The most practical and helpful review Ive ever seen. Keep doing the good work mate.

[@CodSlap]

The extra M3 6mm screw is for locking out the horizontal / vertical pivot function. 🙂 There’s a hole in the center of the VESA mount plate: if you screw the M3 in from the monitor side into the arm, it locks out the pivot function and forces the monitor to stay horizontal. It’s useful in cases where you mount an extra wide monitor and accidentally engaging the pivot may hit result in the edge of the monitor hitting the table and damaging the display panel.

[@kwiatteck]

I used wrong word to describe this movement. I meant pivot. However rest of the story is correct. I have a small play with the screw mounted, however I chose to ignore it. I noticed some black wear remainings of plastic sleeves in the middle hinge, wondering how long it will take to wear it out. Kiitos!

[@denns0r]

thats exactly what i wanted to write 👍

Thank you - excellent instructions on how to position it and set it up. Just ordered the Ergotron LX and your instructions will make the installation go smoothly!

[@spuriustadius5034]

1:43, I don't know if all LX stands ship with the parts, but there is an alternative way to mount the stand to a table. In the instructions it's called "Grommet Hole". Basically, instead of a clamp, you drill a hole in the table: there's a plate, a threaded rod and butterfly nut that ships, I think, with all LX stands although your photo at 0:38 doesn't show it. Here's instructions (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKeukIWYgcuEnMk)

[@PdPete11795]

This was the exact review I was looking for! I've been looking all over the place for opinions on the LX stand, since it was so expensive, but this review gave a very detailed explanation on the pros and cons of the stand. Also appreciated you pointing out that the Amazon premium stand appears to be exactly the same, but with a different badge on it. I still plan to go with the ergotron version though as the amazon stand is only $10 dollars cheaper (at the time of writing) and I figure the longer warranty is worth the trade off for $10. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@infinitezest3912]

They also have an HP version of these that were made nmby ergotron as well. I also had an issue with my metal stand preventing me from clamping it properly. However I didn't cut my desk, I just moved the clamp down one screw hole lol

[@nitwit4947]

Glad you made this because the build instructions on the Amazon model are not very clear.

[@Phenixzero]

It’s a great review but why would you cut your desk frame, unless your space is extremely limited, otherwise I would replace the desk board into larger one so I get larger desk space and don’t have to cut the frame

[@treepizzle]

Great video. Helped me a ton. My only suggestion, and maybe I’m just being ocd, but put a towel down on the desk so you don’t scratch your monitor face

[@Fin-hd8eo]

Really helpful video! You answered several questions I had while setting mine up. Thank you.

[@Tiber234]

Thanks for the excellent presentation Anthony, I missed the Amazon alternative but courtesy of your presentation Im still impressed with the product and its in my Amazon basket.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

This was a great video, and you're the only reviewer I've seen who mentioned that a single arm can be used, instead of arbitrarily using both. Although, I wouldn't recommend cutting a piece of your table off just to make space for the monitor arm's base. I think it would have been a far more practical solution to drill a gromit hole, and then connect the base using the gromit mount accessory.

[@bdubbya4200]

I have this exact same desk and I was just wondering if it would work without modifying LOL!!!

If you're deciding between the short base arm and a long arm. I would highly recommend the long arm if you're 5'10 or above. You're welcome! I made the mistake of going with the short base arm and had to return it for the longer arm.

[@frankw6496]

Great review with lots of details! How do you find it when you swing it, say from left to all the way right (full 180) - would it be easy? I want to mount a single monitor as both my daily monitor and also the sim racing monitor (when I swing it over the edge of my desk)

[@EverythingPractical]

Very easy to swing (as long as cables arent tight and the placement screws aren't in 😉)

[@knotheadusc]

This is a great video. It was very helpful yesterday. Unfortunately, I think we got a defective stand, because we could not get the plate to stop pointing at the ceiling. No amount of tinkering or brute force would make it work. I ended up ordering a different arm from another manufacturer. Hopefully, that one will work.

[@EverythingPractical]

Only the space for the mount.

[@MajorTendonitis]

Well looks like I have the revised version of the LX , because the base only goes as small as 1” . Gotta cut a piece of wood to compensate

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

That's really weird, considering that the HX is easily able to go lower, and I would have thought the LX would be capable of the same.

[@renders_darj]

Nice and practical video, i just have one question, my deck thickness is 36mm which not belong for any ranges from their manual on website for LX Arm, in paper version of manual is different and that arm can fit? Their ranges on website are: #1 less than 10mm, #2 (12-35mm), #3 (37-60mm) or practically they overlap somehow?

[@EverythingPractical]

Yes, they overlap. You can adjust the location of the clamp on the mounting bracket

[@renders_darj]

@@EverythingPractical Thank you for fast answer.

[@EverythingPractical]

If you are still somehow between sizes, you can place a thin piece of wood between the desk and clamp to take the space.

[@renders_darj]

@@EverythingPractical Yeap, thanks :)

[@JoelHogarthAnimation]

Best video I can find about this product for sure so thank you. But does anyone have the specs for how close you can actually get your monitor to the wall? That's my main issue. Thanks

[@EverythingPractical]

Thanks for the comment. The bracket on the arm is 4.5" or 10 cm deep when up against a wall. Depending on your monitor and it's mounting bracket, add that to this measurement and you'll know how close you can get to the wall. For me to the front of my monitor is it's a total 8.5" or 21 cm.

[@JoelHogarthAnimation]

@@EverythingPractical thank you so much! Now I can finally prepare for the new setup!

[@bennycode]

Very smooth video! Great review and tutorial on how to set it up. There is just one little thing that I am trying to find out... Can you tilt the display up and down? And is there a minimum weight that the monitor needs to work well with the springs of that stand?

[@EverythingPractical]

Thank you for the comment! Thr displays can tilt up and, eh, not so much down. The weight recommendation is 5-25 lbs or 2.3-11.3 kg

[@bennycode]

@@EverythingPractical thank you for your quick response! How easy is it to move the display left and right on the very front of the arm? From the manual I can see that it can be moved by 180° but I have the stand here and cannot move the mounting joint (which sits right behind the plate that holds the monitor) left or right. :(

[@EverythingPractical]

Mine moves very easily. Could the screw underneath the joint be too tight? It is also much easier to move everything once the monitor is mounted. Is your monitor mounted already?

[@bennycode]

@@EverythingPractical thanks for listening to my problem. The monitor is mounted and now I can also move the joint that wasn't moving in the beginning. I think it was just to stiff and now lost the friction. Thank you for your assistance! You are doing great! 👍

[@EverythingPractical]

I am happy to help 😃

[@Rave.-]

I'm amazed the LX is strong enough for that beast of a monitor. Most people go for the HX with something that size.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

It's supposed to be good up to 11.3kg.

[@Sparky_007]

For the Monitor arm, were you also restricted by the same 5°degree downwards tilt adjustment on the screen? If so, did you bend (is possible in your case/model) to bend the metal tabs out to get a greater degree of tilt? 5degrees is simply unacceptable if you've got two of these arms on a pole with monitors in a vertical stacked configuration and you need the top monitor to tilt down more than 5 degrees in order to have the best viewing. Thoughts or observations about your arm and the above?

[@EverythingPractical]

I think you would be able to modify the stop tabs in order to create a greater downward tilt. However, I am not sure it will maintain the set position. Perhaps worth a try anyways 🙃

[@Turbo_JAM]

May have missed it in the video…. But any mention of the monitor drooping/dropping down from set position at the hinge directly connected to the VESA mount? Bought a cheap one from Amazon which couldn’t keep monitor in place correctly so sent it back.

[@EverythingPractical]

Hello and thank you for the comment! This is the only part I did not mention in the video because mine was already tuned perfect and didn't realize at the time it is possible to adjust...but you can tighten a hex screw (4mm) on the under side of the mounting head/ bracket. I hope this helps!

[@Turbo_JAM]

@@EverythingPractical thanks for the reply.

[@Lisa13245]

thanks for this!!! I have the same monitor coming in the mail and this looks like a good space saver.

[@kwiatteck]

When you screw the swivel-locking screw in, does it still give few degrees (to level monitor for example) to operate or should it be no play for swiveling at all? Mine allows for some movement, then I can't go aby further. Was wondering if this small play should exist at all. Also hinge closest to monitor, left-right movement is quite hard to move, but can be done.

[@EverythingPractical]

It is a locking screw so the idea would be that there is no movement. I dont mind being able to move it a lottle so mine isnt extremely tight. If you want it to not have play, you would need to tighten it more. So it's up to you 🙂

[@kwiatteck]

[@denniskaparunakis3155]

Did not see movements in the x-axes when you pull one side of the monitor and push the other side… some people say is too stiff

[@RodfathersThe]

Really helpful review thanks. Just so I'm sure, I believe the maximum recommended monitor size for this model is 32 inch but you have the same monitor as me which is 34 inch ultra wide screen. Does it hold the monitor comfortably which no issues despite your monitor being slightly larger than recommended for this stand?

[@EverythingPractical]

Thank you for the comment. It is indeed rated for a max. 34" monitor with a max weight of 11 kg / 24 lbs. It easily holds the monitor and I am extremely happy with the performance :) I can't promise but I figure it can handle larger monitors, as long as the weight is not exceeded.

After using the stand for a while now with a reasonably heavy monitor. Have you seen any damage or indentation from the ergotron base? Just wondering if it would damage my desk or leave an indent into it. My stand would be offset like yours.

Otherwise there is a brand call WALI on Amazon that apparently will carry a curved 35 inch, but this Ergotron brand is better known.

[@EverythingPractical]

Based on the weight you could be fine. I have not tried any larger size monitors. I've wondered how wide of a monitor this stand can support (as long as the weight is not exceeded) amd still function properly. Unfortunately I have not been able to test larger monitors than 34"

[@snowwny]

Is there a reason why most people install the monitor arm near the corner of the desk, not the center? Any problem installing at the center? Does it give less room for movement?

[@EverythingPractical]

This mainly depends if you have the space behind your desk. I think most people yave their desk against wall so the mount has to go near the corner, otherwise-in the middle the arms stick out backwards. I would have loved to be able to install it in the middle, but I have a wall and this restricted my installation options. Hope this helps!

5:55, could this be what you are looking for? Otherwise, if you mean the height adjustment that is on the monitor (without the stand) you can position the mount to the max height or hold the mount, then adjust it. But this is tricky 😉 I hope this helps!

[@LokiDaFerret]

@@EverythingPractical Hi. Well that was my point... If I want to raise or lower the monitor straight up or down it would appear that this sort of arm not good as it can only move in an arc. Yes you can adjust that back bit. I was referring to after it is all assembled. The LG Ergo Stand I think is more what I am after although LG doesn't sell it as an independent product.

[@EverythingPractical]

Ah, I understand now. However, I find this small arc in the vertical axis hardly noticeable. At most you need to slightly reposition yourself when you raise and lower the stand, which you would likely need to do either way when adjusting the screen position. You also are able to move the monitor further back with the Ergotron. If you have a deep desk, this is less of an issue, but consider the viewing distance to your monitor. My recommendation is still the Ergotron.

[@madridgevara9484]

If we already have this arm how do we remove monitor to change out.

I would remove it only from the middle portion and leave the mount and one arm connected. To the table. So, the reverse process of assembly. Good luck 🙂

A minimum thickness is hard to say as it will always depend on the material. In your case with chipboard, it could work if you think it is stable enough. If not you could try using additional shims as support.

​@@EverythingPractical, that makes sense. Thank you!​

Has it actually been keeping up your CF/CJ791? Been looking at way too many reviews by now, and.. reports are all over. Has it started sagging over time? Am trying to find an arm to keep it above my 49" - which this one might be a bit too low for, but, there's that "extra tall" option that might be the one to get for that. Thanks,

Still holding like day 1, no sagging! 💪
