Monitor Arm comparison ft IKEA MALM desk. How to choose?

[@TaoMStudio]

Guys, I have a video explains how you can mount monitor arms onto IKEA MALM desk. please check out this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHe0ioZradVpsMk

[@fantabarack]

Tao, sort, but very useful video. No BS, just straight to the point. I have seen several review videos about arms, but you are the first one who TOUCH and show us the wobbliness. Keep it up!

[@RiminiVirage]

As the owner of an IKEA Malm desk myself, I found this to be very useful. As you say, fitting a monitor arm to this type of desk is the devils work because of the cable management tray. Thank you very much for the information. I have liked and subscribed.

[@HotSkorpion]

Unfortunately, the cable management tray on mine only has an opening to the back in the middle. So, I either mount the arm in the middle, or I can-t clamp anything to it. And I found somewhere that this is actually a paper honeycomb core. So Drilling a grommet hole is out of the question too... Any Ideas_

[@casuallee4560]

7:22 thank you so much for explaining that, i have been thinking to mount it on the middle of my desk but im also concern about the gap issue.

[@guillaumehudon2555]

Nice video mate I was actually really hesitant on which style of monitor arm I should choose and your video got recommended, it's a life saver imma go with the gas spring one for flexibility like you pointed out thanks Tao!

[@jsdpatters473]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been hesitant to get a Monitor arm for my MALM desk because I never knew if it would fit. Very helpful video 👍

[@PrinceMandal]

Thank you for this video. I was very concerned about wall clearance for the gas spring dual monitor arm. I really like your technique that you decided to mount on the side so that you can extend one arm instead of mounting it in the center which needs a lot of wall clearance.

[@guillaumehudon2555]

Also, the quality of the video is awesome, the video quality, commentary, demonstration... Really good +1 sub

[@deekay13]

The exact comparison I was looking for. I’m trying to decide between these two styles of monitor arms for my desk. I think I will go with the gas spring arms.

[@convergencev]

Great video. People should really think if they will benefit from these arms. As you mentioned, monitor arms can consume more desk space if they are in center, because people would tilt them a little. In that scenario, the desk space without monitor arms will also be the same, it might actually be more if you have a monitor smaller than arm size like 24 cm, because to put those monitors together, arms might go little backward. So after watching this very insightful video I decided to not use monitor arms.

[@cryonic.]

i have that desk and i just cut a space out with a sawzall where the clamps go. wood chips everywhere, but mounting was a success.

[@shinejnn2]

This vid help out very much, thank you soo much for clear explanations!

[@akramomar1255]

Great video, love your channel!

[@meimu_troller278]

Do you know if the Deltaco Gaming GAM-135 is only for curved Monitors?

[@Jmunnie12]

Would this work well with steel reinforcement brackets?

[@iamgro5808]

When you talk about height adjustment at 3:39, is it possible to adjust height of one arm only, without moving the other arm with it? Thanks

[@mattnemeth1333]

Not possible with that model specifically. I'd recommend 2 single monitor mounts

[@ChrisKadaver]

With the simpler stand... Do you have to keep the monitors far back or can you drag it so it reaches like the middle of the desk in dept?

[@frulldog]

Great video man, I have the white malm desk and I’m looking for a mount at the moment.👍

[@mccree8851]

did u go ahead with the mount? has it caused any problems?

[@amitbaviskar9]

what size of screw is used to mount the monitor as i did not get the screw with the stand

[@generalytsubs9759]

Really good video, may I ask which monitor you have on the right side I'm thinking it's 24 inch ultrawide

[@franciscosunworld]

Very good review..thanks..and keep it coming

[@mewhenthe8120]

Are there any single monitor arms for the malm desk that you recommend? The previous monitor arm I used caved into the desk, so I'm looking for a monitor arm that can hold my monitor (24 inch)

[@abzz00]

Hi! I am using a VIVO Dual Monitor Desk Mount Stand-V002 for my MALM table. Can I mount two monitors of the following dimension 27.4X18.4 X5.7 (in) Net weight - 4.5 (kgs) Please let me know! Thank you in advance

[@86soulx]

do you think it is worth using 2x single arms vs a Dual monitor one?

[@ChizM]

the duel monitor mount definitely wont break my desk right?

[@sneakypeekygaming]

Well, if they're in a duel, it might break 😂

[@rohitxess1955]

Hi, is your table holding the monitor arm well ? Considering that the table is made fireboard and paper filling ? I have a 31 inch monitor which weighs around 8 kg. Do you think I can use lagkapten oslov ikea table to clamp my monitor arm with a 31 inch monitor ?

[@TaoMStudio]

@Rohit Xess If just one 32” monitor, I would say yes. I have no issues with 2 27” .

[@montythesloth4895]

is there any other monitor mount in the us that works for the malm desk?

[@awttygaming2510]

PLEASE RESPOND not sure how to tell if it is compat with my monitor im new to dual monitors can you tell me how to tell if it is compatible i use 2 dif monitors

[@frulldog]

I’m a bit worried whether the mount will damage my malm desk

[@idontlikenames9523]

very useful video, thank you

[@ArianaM1975]

Hi! what is the link for the product in the US?

[@LW-xm5pr]

Thanks for the info! May I ask the name of the first dual monitor arm?

[@TaoMStudio]

@LW amzn.to/3uOg8uj

[@nzanee1963]

Can u stack the arms?

[@george5601]

Great video !

[@its_jinxx]

Hi! I also have a malm desk and i want to get the monitor arm but im scared because of the images of everyones desk caving in due to it not being solid wood. Have you had a problem with this? And Is there enough space to add an additional solid wood slab to distribute the weight of the arm?

[@TaoMStudio]

@ItsOnlyMe I never had any issues at all throughout the years.

[@mccree8851]

have u had any problems with it?

[@its_jinxx]

@@mccree8851 heyy! I got the monitor arms in the end. Had some issues at first with being sent one faulty one but they replaced it immediately! The monitor arms are perfect for my setup and the malm desk. It supports my two 27inch monitors (one i keep horizontal and the other vertical). No issues with caving of dents etc. Even with the monitor arms being set on the left side and not centered for the pressure balance. I havent readjusted it once since putting it on thou tbh.

[@its_jinxx]

@@mccree8851 tldr: 8months going strong! Perfect for the malm desk and two 27inch monitors.

[@mccree8851]

@@its_jinxx okay thanks a lot. Im wanting to mount 2 24 inch monitors and there were a lot of nasty images of those dents that the clamps may cause. Hopefully none of that happens. Thanks for the reply.

[@Zack.ali7274]

Very useful thanks

[@thomasdorscheidt1401]

Is the mount connecteble for two 27inch monitors?

[@TaoMStudio]

@Thomas Dorscheidt Not sure what you meant " connectable". But, it can hold 2 27inch monitors.

[@LostSectorOnline]

both sucks, enormous wobbling, only wall mount will work

[@tdmdchannel2339]

I use all style for years. Gas spring arm at the studio, wall mount and pole style at home. There is no more wobbling from the monitor arm then you would normally get from the original table stand. Unless you have a flimsy tabletop. Obviously, wall mount is good but not always possible depending on the desk setup.
