It’s actually very impressive for disabled people like me who can’t move or sit. This tilt is very important. I hope LTT creates videos tips and tricks for disabled people. That would be great. Thanks a lot!

[@YOEL_44]

If your monitor supports VESA mounting you can always get a similar stand for under $100, but yeah, these days any good monitor should come with a decent stand, there's no excuse for that

That's not even a VESA mount, it's a plate to mount the pillar through a hole in the table instead of with the C-clamp. You can even literally see that there are no vesa screw holes in the corner. He's just dumb.

[@abhikray6524]

There's a cable management system in the stand as well.

[@ZedemMonk]

Another possible use for it is in a dorm setting, where a student might want to routinely adjust it to watch video content in bed and then use it as a workstation sitting at their desk. I had a similar setup back in the day using a CRT arm to hold my laptop that I got for free from an old arcade that was closing down.

[@One_Guy]

5:24 the extra bolt is probably and that plate with rubber is designed so you can drill through your desk and mount it through that way... thats probably also what the Square bracket that he called a 100x100 vesa mount is for. because you can clearly see it has no holes in the corner to be a VESA mount.

[@mrr0r508]

I like James' reviews as he clearly appreciates little QOL things that I also look for.

[@kaldogorath]

QOL is what differentiates a good product from a great one IMO.

[@nikoolix]

But he got many things wrong. He mistook that metal plate for a vesa adapter, it's not, it's a plate to mount the pillar through a hole in the table instead of with the C-clamp.

I really wish there were more monitors that had daisy-chain, especially over USB-C. Multi-monitor setups are increasingly popular and having single cables to link each component to the next and still maintain usability of all the features including the full scope of USB ports would be clean and efficient.

[@SriramDinesh]

I bought the 27 inch version of this. Main is to have a single wire setup. The monitor, especially its ergo arm looks good. It worked fine with my Lenovo Thinkpad. But when I connected my MacBook Air M1 to this monitor using USB-C, the display is working fine. But the USB-A ports behind the monitor are not recognised by the MacBook. So we can't connect USB headphones/pendrive/wireless/wired KB and mouse (not bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless receiver ones), in fact any USB-A accessory to the MacBook via this monitor. This is not a problem with the piece I got. The same problem exists with other model of LG monitor (4K USB-C) also which my neighbour is using. So please consider this fact before buying this. I returned mine and bought Lenovo P27H-20 which is working fine. I miss the ergo arm of LG but I prefer connectivity over the flexibility of the arm.

1:32 - I bought 2 different desks in attempt to make my dual monitor stand with this type clamp mount; both had to be modified still to make it an actually effective mounting solution; and I ended up with a table from an office building. So no, most tables will not work; it's about the depth of the clamp and where the table/desk's back-plate might be. If it doesn't have a back-plate for support most these mounts will make the table shake the monitor in my experience.

the power cord extension is for being mounted permanently into/onto the arm, so you don*t have to route the cable new every time you move your monitor to another place. At least that*s what I'd guess and appretiate

[@mins_982]

[@saldogdave]

At 5:34 - Not a VESA mount and extra twisty handle for the clamp. Those are parts for mounting the bracket on a desk through-hole.

[@donotchris7849]

I was contemplating this, but my biggest gripes were actually both the size and the resolution, as my pc would not be able to run 4k, and I do not fancy having a 32" monitor on my desk, but when you mentioned the 1440 variant with 27", I was absolutely sold! Now the trouble is money

[@thatwasprettyneat]

"In case you bought this monitor and didn't want this arm, which doesn't make any sense..." That's exactly what I did. I researched the other 27 inch monitors and this one had the specs I wanted. The other comparable LG monitor didn't go up to 75hz, which this one apparently does (I think you need a graphics card though). I had to buy a normal stand for it precisely because I disliked the arm, although I can see the use for it. Edit: Also just to clarify, although no one cares, the reason I didn't like the monitor arm specifically was because it raises the monitor too far above the desk for my taste, which makes me feel like I'm having to look up at my monitor.

[@lancemartin7584]

Where the stand connects into the back of the monitor, there is a 100x100 vesa mount, the piece you were holding is for making a hole in your desk, then that piece goes on the bottom side of your desk, that second bolt you showed goes through that piece, through the desk and threads into the monitor arm.

I think that extension cable is meant to be plugged to the monitor then attached with some Velcro tape with all the other cables alongside the arm so it's easier to manipulate without putting too much strain on the brick cable. That's how I would use it anyway.

[@maperez12]

“DC Input” *shows AC connector*

[@xaytana]

Assuming the joint is strong enough, putting all three rotational axes of adjustment into a single joint is an amazing idea, that itself would simplify so many stand designs, and all that would be left is height adjust. This design also somewhat gives you depth adjust, because of the multi-hinge design, at the sacrifice of left/right linear positioning of the monitor. If LG could find a good way to integrate left/right linear movement, to account for the depth adjust positioning, this could be the most versatile stand, for both single person use and collaborative spaces.
