HX Desk Ultrawide Arm

I absolutely absolutely FREAKING LOVE THIS ARM. I bought it as soon as I found out we'd be working from home for a while, in an effort to finally upgrade my home setup. After I bought it I mentioned it to a friend, and she said "YES!!! I HAVE THE SAME ONE AND I LOVE IT!!" I've only had it for a couple of months, but my friend has had hers for years and it's still going strong. I have an enormous Cintiq - 24HD Touch. I was warned that if the weight of the screen to be supported is too close to the weight limit, it probably won't work well, and this was literally the only arm I could find that was rated to support my monster! Not only does it hold the weight of my Cintiq beautifully, the motion is smooth and effortless, only a very slight wobble, and I can lean on it pretty hard without it going down. It's a little tricky sometimes to get the wrench-key into the right spot for adjusting the tension, and every person will prefer something a little different - but once you get the hang of it it's a no brainer. Installation itself was easy and instructions were clear. The only difficulty was lifting my Cintiq onto the arm once it's all assembled, because the dumb thing is so darn heavy it would have been nice to have a second pair of hands... but that's not the arm's fault! Ergotron is the standard in the entertainment/arts industry for a reason. I'm an artist, so aesthetics matter, and it has to function all day long every day. I COULD NOT be more pleased. I'm an extremely tactile and picky person I got the polished aluminum one and I have to say, it's actually beautiful. It doesn't have that "ergonomic tech" look that a lot of other "ergo" products have, which I think is pretty tacky and wanna-be futuristic. This thing though... this is a beautiful and sturdy piece of engineering and it performs it's function to perfection. THANK YOU ERGOTRON. My desk is 30" deep and it reaches well beyond the edge from the back, but I have it mounted to one side and it works just fine there too. This is such a massive improvement over the piece of crap stand that the last few models of Cintiqs have come with (the one that only has two positions to choose from, is difficult to adjust, and weighs a freaking ton), it's just night and day. It's rare that I am so dang chuffed over a purchase that I feel COMPELLED to review it, but this one dear god was completely worth it. Improved my workspace 1000% times over and I'm pleased every time I see it and grateful every time I use it! What a spectacular piece of equipment!!!!

I absolutely love this arm! I went through a couple of cheaper "heavy-duty" mounts that claimed they could hold a massive curved monitor, but they always ended up sagging or feeling unstable. The Ergotron HX is in a completely different league. It is the best of the best. The build quality is phenomenal. Setting it up with the VESA mount was straightforward, and the cable management keeps my desk looking pristine. The best part is the movement—it is buttery smooth. Even with a massive, heavy screen attached, you can adjust the height and angle with just one hand and it stays perfectly locked in place without any drooping. If you have an expensive flat or curved monitor up to 49 inches, don't trust it on a cheap mount. BUY. THIS. ONE.

I struggled to find an arm that would support my almost 33lb 4k 43" LG monitor. Sadly it is the most expensive but is among 2 that I found would work and the tolerances are DEFINITELY better for the Ergotron. Here is what I like: 1: Stable - was concerned due to the drop in nature of Ergotron HX, but the monitor does not move after mounted 2: Assembly - almost too easy; 32 lb monitor mounted solo VERY easily 3: Ease of use - very very smooth 4: Aesthetics - good looking; aluminum look only comes in white but matches the black items in the room I have well 5: Quality - clearly built to last 6: Warranty 7: Company is known and has a US presence Here is what I don't like: 1: Price - it is expensive The cost is worth it in my opinion as the company has a US presence and a good warranty - also it is the only mount where my weight is in the middle of the road. My setup: ----- ------------ ----- | | | | | | |2K | | 4K | | 2K| | | | | | | ----- ------------ ----- Each of the 2k 27" monitors use the Ergotron LX. The 43" 4k monitor uses the Ergotron HX.

This monitor arm is extremely well made, durable and a lot more heavy then I thought it would be. So, overall the construction of the arm and it's design is very well made, heavy solid materials. It comes shipped in a great packaging, it's nice to see care in how much care went into packing. The assembly is relatively easy with just 3 parts that connect with a few screws to tighten. I'm using this arm with an LG 38" Ultra Wide monitor that I believe is about 15lbs in weight and it can easily move around without struggle on the arm. If you have a lighter monitor or a smaller sized one, you may have difficulty with the arm keeping a monitor in a low position. If the monitor is light weight < 12-13lbs it may want to lift up on it's own due to the heavy spring action. I had a smaller monitor on it while waiting for my ultra-wide and it was kind of comical. I added weight to the monitor to keep it down a bit. It supports VESA 100x100 and 200x200 on the mounting bracket. I feel like this is a good standard for newer monitors. The mount is sturdy and supports a really good range of movement tilting up and down as well as a full rotation on it's side. The arm movement is really reasonable in it's range of movement. I'm even able to drop my monitor down a bit lower than the clamp. The arm assembly also includes options to mount the arm with a desk clamp, or through a drilled hole. It has good options for mounting the arm as needed. I'm really satisfied with this purchase and can see this arm lasting a really long time - probably much longer than my new monitor. I highly recommend getting it.

Pluses: + Quality manufacturing. Parts are very sturdy and precisely machined out of solid metal, with no play or wiggle. It definitely will last, and doesn't feel "cheap" at all. I feel that I've gotten what I paid for. + More than sturdy enough to support its rated weight without wiggling. I have a Cintiq 21UX (around 20 pounds); I can draw or even *lean* on the monitor without it drooping or wiggling. I used the through-hole mounting mechanism, and the entire arm is very rigidly fixed to the desk. + Good ease of actuation (somehow) even given the rigid/strong support. I'm very impressed with how it's balanced. + Decent range of actuation. It has all the degrees of freedom I would hope for/expect from a monitor arm. The monitor head can be swiveled, tilted up and down, rotated, or repositioned. One limitation is discussed below. + Broadly-compatible VESA mount. Downsides: - Style. It's a very functional-looking object, without much attention to visual design or aesthetics. It's not ugly, but it isn't stylish either. The aluminum finish picks up oily fingerprints pretty much right away, and it stops looking clean. A sleeker shape with a burnished nickel or perhaps powder-coated finish might look better. - It "bottoms out" a little early. As a Cintiq user, it would be nice for me if the arm actuated just a little bit lower, so I could lean over it like a piece of paper-- this was possible with the factory Cintiq desk stand, but with the arm it rides a little higher. Not a huge deal because I can tilt it forward a little more or raise my chair, but it would be essentially perfect (functionally speaking) if the mount joint could be lowered to rest against the desk surface. The attached picture shows the monitor at its lowest extreme.

This was not willing to support a just above 20 pound monitor as it was specified for, so we used one that is 31 pounds instead. It just barely cooperates with that weight, as loosening or tightening the screws all the way to the end of one side has made the tension just enough to not point the monitor upward on its own or raise the VESA on its own. A little more than a light touch does raise the monitor in undesired positions, but if it is not interfered with at the tension we were able to get it set to, it just barely can cooperate as desired. Other than that, it appears to be a quality metal product that is well built & nicely made, aside for a misaligned monitor mount/adapter which slots into the VESA a little higher than it is supposed to due to a lip that was not cut short enough. While that does not slot perfectly, the two screws provided do hold it in place so it is bearable, otherwise it would have been wobbly without those screws. So yes, it was quite easy to assemble this product, kept the plastic washers on which the instructions failed to specify for less friction when rotating the arm, & assembled nicely. So far it is performing as intended & it has been almost a month of ownership.

This is expensive, but right away, it's apparent that the quality and strength are unsurpassed. I used it on a Dell 42.5" UltraSharp U4323QE Hub monitor with built-in VESA holes. Screws and posts for many monitors are supplied, but I recommend this combination. The additional USB ports are easily accessed with this monitor arm. When installing this, my former HP 42.5 UHD Z43 monitor detached from its mount when I turned it over and dropped on the Ergotron, shattering the screen and not being covered by the extended warranty. (I am a bonehead). The Z43 required an optional external mount for VESA, which I didn't realize before I bought the monitor. Smashing the screen saved me the hassle of getting the optional add-on VESA mount from HP (and it would have been a hassle). I purchased this monitor arm because I wanted more than the HP mount, although the monitor was good. The HP monitor is a few hundred cheaper and a good one, but if you get that, take a very close look at the VESA situation, the stand on the HP I bought was not adequate for the size of the monitor. The monitor was a couple of years old so they might have corrected this, but caveat emptor. This is so much better than the shaky, poorly adjusting HP stand that I feel better about stupidly shattering the HP. Also, this monitor bolts directly onto the arm via VESA holes the HP didn't have. The resolution on the HP might have been better, but the Dell is easier to operate. It's a shame HP made a pretty good monitor and then skrimped on the stuff that makes it work ergonomically.

I bought this at a friend's recommendation so I'd finally have a proper mount for my Cintiq tablet. It's definitely on the pricier side but worth every penny. It came with everything I needed to mount my tablet off the side of my desk, and left me with a bunch of hardware should I need to mount to a larger VESA footprint or switch to a grommet mount. Assembly was quick, even after I managed to set everything up only to realize I mounted my tablet upside-down I was done in under an hour. The hold is sturdy and gives me confidence when I draw or move my tablet. And the included cable organizers are a nice touch. The desk clamp is fairly large and goes about 4 inches deep from the edge of the desk. Unfortunately the mounting bracket for my desk's legs leaves only about 2.5 inches of even mount purchase before the edge of my desk. I was able to shim the mount clamps so they hold strong, and even with the clamp bracket extending about an inch off the side of my desk, this thing is plenty sturdy for my liking. In the end, I could have fussed with cheaper mounting arms as I have in the past, but it's hard to put a price on peace of mind when dealing with higher-end monitors.

Love it, it's fantastic. Does exactly what it says it does. The lower arm only pivots 180 degrees, from left to right, over the desk. It will not pivot behind the desk. It's clearly in the description and images but I still missed it.

Why did you choose this product over others?: I have heard about the ergotron brand before and always seen good reviews of it despite of its cost. Functionality: To my surprise this is loaded with all the features, move up and down, tilt sideways tild upwards and downwards, move forward and backwards, just all around pretty much a 360 movement, well 180 for the base and almost 360 for the monitor. Mobility: Takes a bit getting used to with the movement, if you make it more stiff to move, expect it to be hard to do small adjustments but it will stay in place and will not wobble, or you can loosen it and it might wobble a bit more but will be super easy to move about. Cable management: On the back there is 2 ties for cables that run along the arm and a plastic shroud that hides the cables going down behind the table. Easy to use and access. Desk space: I used to have my monitor up on a small elevated riser, and got tired of all the wobble from it, and while that took up a lot of space, this one saves quite a lot, to the point that I dont even know what to do with the empty space :D Totally loving it, it holds an LG C2 42" just fine, but it DID require a vesa mount adapter 300x200, as the included one only goes up to 200x200. so much cleaner on the desk and I can move the monitor closer any time I want to or further away if I dont want it to be up close. Assembly is also very simple, I did not drill a hole into my desk so I used the end clamp and it clamps on very strongly, the base is heavy but i have a table that is roughly 3cm in height and is made of solid wood so no issues with that. The first part slides into place easily and the second also, clipping on the monitor was a breeze even alone so you dont necessarily need 2 people to do it, clip attached, screw in from the bottom and it wont go anywhere! as stable as it can be.

I was looking for a monitor arm so I can suspend my very heavy 27” iMac. This Ergotron HX fits the bill perfectly! It’s rated at being able to carry 45 pounds and it sure is true! It has no trouble lifting my close to 22 pounds 27” iMac with very, very minimal wobble (which can be expected considering it’s cantilevered). The one I got was the white version and the product looks great in powder white. Installation was very easy; I had to use a VIVO VESA Mounting Adapter Kit for the iMac. The adapter attached to the stand. The first time I attached the iMac to the arm, it didn’t even drooped! There are points in the joints where you can adjust the tension and mine was already stiff right out of the box. A bit pricey, but worth it! I am not in any way worried that my iMac will fall down. Highly recommended!

Zeer blij mee. Als je hem uit de doos haal voel je gelijk dat het geen rommel is. Echt kwaliteit spul. Makkelijk te installeren maar neem er wel ff de tijd voor.

Ottimo braccio, solido, solido. Funziona bene.
