I noticed the Amazonbasics brand arms missing recently too!! Luckily I bought mine back in 2019 or so. I have the dual monitor Amazonbasics mount and it holds up my two 27 inch monitors with no problems.

A recap of all the model and the tier at the end would be nice

[@nadtz]

Having worked with a bunch of arms over the years I've settled on the monoprice dual monitor mount as it does what I need well without costing a ton. If I was constantly moving one or both of my monitors around I'd probably upgrade to a gas system over spring but I don't so this works well for me with 2 27" monitors. That said I love Ergotron's stuff, I've owned a few of their older mounts and they were all good.

What dual monitor arms do you recommend?

[@nadtz]

@@XanderSut Depends on your budget and the size of monitors. Like I said I went with the Monoprice Heavy-Duty stand, but it looks like it has gone up a bit in price on Amazon. I got it for a little over $100 when I bought it, now it's $160. There are a number of less expensive options on Amazon, some of which have reviews on KZbin in the $50-$100 range, so it might be worth taking some time to shop around if budget is an issue. If money is no issue Ergotron makes fantastic stands, but they also cost a lot more.

@nadtz ty I really appreciate your comprehensive reply

[@shorowho]

I spoke with an ergotron representative and they mentioned that they manufacture for Amazon. They even offered me replacement parts on it.

[@Rollergold4]

The Black version of the Amazon Basics arm is still available in Canada but not in the US atm, kind of odd. Also the back of the monitor arm says "Ergotron patent" stamped in to the back so it's a rebranded Ergotron or a ripoff. Its a really nice product if its a rip off though. Bought 2 of them and they work great.

[@ianisas]

Arms like the Vivo Basic are the best for me. Compact and simple. I don't want my monitor going up or down and I'd guess like me most people have multiple monitors. Moving one means I have to adjust 2 more physically and likely in software since they're different sizes.

I like overkill and was going to buy the HX for my 34 UW 34” Alienware monitor at 13.8 pounds . Will the HX be adjustable enough to support a monitor that’s considered too light for its specs . I don’t want my desk shaking and the monitor raising itself up all the time . I realize it’s adjustable to a point . Thanks in advance . Great video , liked and subbed

[@sn0wfa11s]

Hi im looking for an arm monitor for my drawing big display tablet of 23.8" screen. The question was, how much lower and horizontal you are able to adjust the monitors with the last 2 arm the vid

[@Excal500]

Great mustache dude, I knew the moment I say that stache I could trust your review!

[@madffx1986]

I bought a dual monitor arm from a brand called nb north for 75$ it supports 2 27 inch comes with a C clamp or center desk clamp and cable routers. I drilled a hole through my desk it gave me free movement for the monitors.

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

You paid too much for that but if you're happy with it, that's what counts.

[@hiepbenh88]

It's only about 25$ bro :)

[@RobertoOrtis]

What if I need to mount a 34 in landscape and 38 ultra wide in portrait mode?

[@toxicwar]

can you make a video on wall-mounted monitor arms?

[@LuCallofDuty1]

One thing I noticed about the spring monitor arms is that you cannot adjust only the vertical axis without the monitor shifting on the horizontal axis too unless you have a hybrid pole and spring monitor arm which isn't easy to adjust vertically. Do you know any spring monitor arm that has a pivot both on the monitor AND right on the base so that you can adjust it vertically without the need of rotating the arm or without it shifting horizontally too?

[@Kitt876]

Hey, could the amazon basics monitor fit my 32 inch Samsung g7?

[@YashTheDon]

I guess that for my $120 Gigabyte G24F-2 24inch monitor a $30-$40 basic monitor arm is more than enough, doesn't make any sense to me to buy a monitor arm more expensive than the monitor itself lol

[@PoRRasturvaT]

Careful that many arms state they support up to certain diagonal, but not with curved monitors. It is surely mentionned somewhere, the curvature makes it tilt forward with more force, "Samsung not supported".

[@kabishnando4286]

Does anyone know a monitor arm for a samsung oddesey g7 27 curved?

[@prototype8888]

that 30$ arm only cost 8$ in my country..working great..using it on 27inch monitor..

[@DireKnack]

In doing research for these I wish item descriptions included how much desk real-estate the c-clamps consume.

[@sblinder1978]

Ergotron HX still not beefy enough for the Samsung Neo 57" :(

[@GangityBirdity]

There are also loctek monitor arms which are amazing

[@morsing]

Why not mount on the wall and hide cables in a cable trough? Anyone doing that?

[@badppled]

Would you recommend the HX for the LG 45GR95QE-B? It's ~20 lbs which something like the LX should be able to support but it's a lot bigger.

[@tylerclendening364]

Have you guys tested any monitor arms from Colebrook Bosson Saunders?

[@nobody_santaOFL]

yo that monitor looks cool! whats the name of it

[@keithlewis1739]

Why even post the Amazon basics mount when it’s unavailable?

[@ProNerdy]

Funny enough I ordered 3 Dell MSA20 monitor arms, but one of them was accidently packaged with the Amazon Basics arm, but in the Dell packaging. I don't even want the Amazon Basics and just want the arm I ordered😂

[@somewhatboxes]

when a product gets discontinued for totally opaque reasons, i think it's reasonable to hope that it might come back, and in that case i think it's worth knowing that it punches above its price point in terms of quality.

[@svezanovac2]

I cannot find any of these high quality arms that can be put on the desk via drilling a hole... I have a 38" ultrawide. Any suggestions anyone?

[@Pappapowell]

I think the monoprice heavy duty one has it, look for the term grommet.

[@ProNerdy]

Look into the Dell MSA20. I'm surprised they weren't in this video. They by far gave the best built in cable management and are way more premium then the Amazon Basics arm

[@FR0S7BIT3]

this probably wont be read but is there anything like the VIVO Basic Post but like "better"? im getting a new monitor soon and i barely have any space behing my desk and id have to mount the monitor arm a bit to the right anyways so a post like that would be perfect for my case i think

[@msolace580]

wall mount its cheaper or build onto your desk and attach wallmount still cheaper. 400 for a mount its crazy stupid overpriced

[@samoryTure]

People are out their minds to be buying a mount for $400+.

[@TheRealZitroX]

Lalo Salamanca, what you doing here?

[@Shishiku91]

Ergotron manufactures Amazon’s and it’s only the base that’s slightly dif.
