The BEST Monitor Arm Mount Under $40 or Buyer BEWARE? VIVO Monitor Arm Desk Mount Setup

[@granjmy]

This is such an informative, detailed, calming tutorial. No loud crazy music. Calming voice, though God gets the credit for that. :) We seniors don't always like loud booming rock-star music in the background, in case you haven't noticed. Thank you, Sir.

[@visionarywatts]

Thank you a lot for this comment! I will keep this comment in mind for future videos!

Good video. I like your sense of humor. here is one for you. make sure to "shake" the pole when you're done mounting it, make sure it's in the hole properly. LoL.

Fantastic editing, fantastic overview, answered all my questions. Thanks man!

[@ykay69]

Underrated As hell keep it up man. I thought this video was sponsored by VIVO because of the in depth and perfect example of it's use. I had a few questions though, the back of my monitor has specific 4 holes on each corner shaped like a square, now this is obviously where its meant to be mounted but how can I know my monitor fits that? Also if I eventually buy a second monitor, can I purchase 2 of these monitor arms? and have a double monitor setup? Thank You

[@visionarywatts]

The most common patterns for VESA plate screw holes on the back of monitors is 75x75mm or 100x100mm. Search your monitor model number and look at the specs to see what is says about VESA support. You could buy two of these if you wanted significant distance in between the monitors or buy this: amzn.to/3XLO3zL

When you push the monitor all the way back (so there's a minimal gap from the wall), can you see the pole when viewing from the front (i.e. at 5:50 mins)?

[@riceballs279]

Hello! Idk if you will see this, but I need help with choosing a desk for the monitor arm. I was wondering if the MDP or MDF type of material are strong enough for the monitor arm. And yes it's really hard find a wooden desk here sadly..

[@animemonarch8372]

I'm planning on getting the same arm but the one that supports 2 monitors.

[@visionarywatts]

Nice and honestly, sometimes I wonder if that's what I should have done. I broke down my 2 monitor setup to keep it simple with one monitor

How about doing a follow up review? I'm shopping for a monitor arm and looking at something like this, but a two arm - monitor and laptop

[@visionarywatts]

At the moment I don’t have anything to say to make a follow up video. If you have any questions let me know. I can’t answer how the two arm setup works since I only have the one.

[@nicgalindo9182]

@@visionarywatts a few months ago i ended up getting the same style arm but the brand name is different, and mine has one long arm (like yours) but also a shorter arm that came with a laptop tray. I LOVE IT. Thank you for making this video, it helped me decide!

[@SianaGearz]

Can't decide between Hama 118490 arm which is vaguely like this one, and Invision MX200 gas piston arm (53cm range). I don't know whether i'm going to be changing height a lot. But i have a giant 3 square metre window right behind my desk so unless i build some restraining mechanism, i think the Invision might hit it, and that's not a piece of glass i'm looking to replace; on the other hand, if re-adjusting height, i risk dropping the monitor on the Hama and that wouldn't be good at all, it was inexpensive but i may be unable to afford another. My monitor is a 27" standard and is only 4kg without its foot. The desk isn't built yet but some neighbour threw away some nice sturdy legs and base and i'll put a 63.5cm deep countertop on it (whatever offcut they might have, 26mm laminated beech or 38mm particle board), and i can drill into it to offset the whole monitor arm forward if i have to, it's fine. I also plan to get an old force feedback steering wheel for sim racing, and i would probably get the monitor closer and a little over when racing, so this is why i may end up adjusting the height besides bringing it in closer or further away, but i don't know yet whether i'll need that. I figure extra flexibility can't be bad, since i spend all time at computer and i tend to have neck pain, i'm no longer in my 30s.

[@KaiLight]

loved the vid brother. One question, where did you buy your desktop table?

[@visionarywatts]

It's an ikea karlby kitchen countertop. Kinda got influenced by other creators to buy one but I ended up not liking it and giving it away lmao.

[@sythenz778]

Can you buy a second arm if you get a 2nd moniter later on?

[@Skeware]

Can you please measure the distance from the lower part of your Asus Pro ART 27 to the desk, at the arm mount higher position possible? I need around 25cm clearance below the monitor for my setup (pen display tablet bellow).

[@Bearr.]

I always wanted a Monitor arm .. But i might buy a second monitor and use the monitor arm for that one. Aesthetically it looks dope 🤞🏾

[@visionarywatts]

The second desktop that I'm transition away from in favor of this setup has 2 monitors with their stands. I'm wasting so much space on this old setup desk because of it lol. Also it's one of those heavy executive desks so there wasn't a place to clamp an arm if I wanted to have one.

Hey man thanks for the review it’s really making me consider this as the ideal arm for my monitor however I have a linmon desk from ikea, will it be a huge problem?

[@visionarywatts]

yea you *could* clamp this to the linnmon desks but have patterned carboard inside that you can potentially crush so keep that in mind. I touch on that in a video on this channel.

[@ASquidWithC4]

Did you end up using this for a while, any issues with the arm seeming like it's going to give out after a while?

[@trewqr4109]

Great video. I have 2 questions. How has the tilt up and down been working for you /does it hold it's position well? And have you still not experienced any indenting on the desk? Thanks.

[@visionarywatts]

I've tilted it on a few occasions, not often. It hasn't fallen out of position on me so it's been holding well. When I posted this video is when I installed it so, so far so good. I haven't moved the clamp from it's location so as far as I can see, there isn't any indention into this Karlby IKEA desk.

No sagging. I haven't even had to tighten it again but I probably will set a reminder to tighten all the knobs and every 4 months, just in case, because my desk goes up and down so I bet that will loosen things up over time due to the movement.
