Work through each criterion to arrive at the right specification.
Key Decisions Before You Buy
How many monitors?
Single, dual, quad or six. Each configuration requires a different arm type and desk clamp capacity.
Monitor weight?
Most 24–27" monitors weigh 4–7kg. Ultrawides can exceed 10kg. Match arm weight capacity with 20% margin.
VESA pattern?
Check the back of your monitor for four threaded holes. Standard patterns: 75x75mm or 100x100mm.
Clamp, grommet or freestanding?
Clamps attach to desk edge. Grommet mounts pass through a hole. Freestanding needs no desk attachment at all.
Desk or wall mount?
Desk mounts are most common. Wall mounts suit clinical environments and spaces where desk space is limited.
Gas spring or spring tension?
Gas spring = smooth one-hand adjustment. Preferred for multi-user workstations and frequent repositioning.

Why Monitor Arms Outperform Fixed Stands
- Ergonomics — Screens positioned at exact height, depth and angle for each user, eliminating neck and eye strain from fixed-height stands.
- Desk space — Recover 35cm of desk space per workstation vs a fixed stand.
- Flexibility — A quality monitor arm outlasts 2–3 monitor generations. Long-term infrastructure investment.
- Cable management — Quality arms route cables through the arm body, keeping the desk clean.
- Collaboration — 180° rotation enables portrait mode, screen sharing and collaborative viewing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Procurement Questions
What VESA size do I need for my monitor?
Most monitors use a 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA pattern. Check the back of your monitor for four threaded holes arranged in a square — measure the distance between them to confirm the pattern.
Can a monitor arm hold an ultrawide or curved monitor?
Yes, but you need an arm specifically rated for ultrawide monitors. Standard single monitor arms are typically rated for monitors up to 32" and 8–10kg. Ultrawide monitors (34–49") can weigh 8–15kg and require arms with higher weight capacity.
What desk thickness is compatible with monitor arm clamps?
Most monitor arm clamps accommodate desk thicknesses of 10–80mm. For glass desks or unusual edge profiles, a grommet mount is more suitable.
Is a gas-spring monitor arm better than a spring-tension arm?
Gas-spring arms use a pressurised gas cylinder to counterbalance the monitor weight, providing smooth, effortless adjustment with one hand. For frequent adjustment or multi-user workstations, gas-spring is preferred.
Can I use a monitor arm in a hospital or clinical environment?
Yes. Wall-mounted and desk-mounted monitor arms are widely used in clinical environments. Choose arms with smooth, cleanable surfaces compatible with hospital disinfectants.
