Question 1

Can this be used as a wall mount? The title of the item says desk mount and the item description states wall mount. Is it both?

Accepted Answer

The description is wrong.  The mount clamps to the edge of your desk/table or it can be 
mounted  through the wire grommet on the top of a computer desk. The base is designed to be mounted on a flat horizontal surface not vertical.  I have (2 ) 27"  monitors and  they stay in position. TIP: keep the tension adjusting allen wrench handy, it seems to not hold the position  after a few days. I had to retighten a few times in the first month. Now they never move unless I do it on purpose.  My mount is over 2 years old. I would buy again.

Question 2

I lost the tool needed to adjust the tension on the arms. How do  I get a new one, or what is it called and what size is it?

Accepted Answer

It's a standard "Allen key" or "Hex key". You can get a set of these keys from any hardware store. You can even get an entire set that's built into an enclosure similar to a Swiss Army Knife, so they all stay together. You just fold out whichever size you need. I would recommend buying one of those and keeping it on-hand, because you'll need it for other things. :)

Question 3

How does this attach-to/stand-on the desktop? The pictures do not show.

Accepted Answer

There is a threaded, long post that goes down. That post has a plastic cross bar that goes over the post. The cross bar is held by a wing nut. I put the post down in a hole on the desk. The cross bar goes across the hole and the wing nut pushes the crossbar to the desk. The assembly is stable, but I tighten the wing nut once a month for safety.

Question 4

Will this mount work with a samsung C27HG70 27"?

Accepted Answer

I don't know about that particular Samsung model, but I have dual 27" Acer monitors on mine. The arms have standard VESA mounts which matches most monitors. Note, though that with two 27" screens side-by-side in landscape orientation, the arms will be at almost their maximum extension. That means you'll be limited by geometry to get them positioned exactly where you want them in space. This is especially true if you have a deep desk and you want to bring the monitors closer to you -- or if you want to have one "square on" and another slightly angled off to one side.

Question 5

Is there one available with 3 arms for 3 monitors instead of just 2?

Accepted Answer

No.  But if you combine three one-armed stands or a one-armed stand and a two-armed stand you achieve a similar result.

Be aware, however, that these are for smallish diameter monitors and those must be VESA compatible.  Mine are intended for 20" diameters.

Question 6

can i mount my 28 inch  monitor on it?

Accepted Answer

As long as it has a standard mounting bracket on the back of the monitor, yes.  The  arms are 'lockable' so the monitor won't move once you have it in place.  A 28 inch wide monitor will force the arms to extend as wide as they possibly can.  Assuming the monitors are light enough (the monitors shouldn't be very heavy!), this will allow the locking mechanisms to hold the monitors in place.  I have two Asus VW246H monitors which have no issues.  If you have a 28 inch monitor with a similar weight you will be all set.  If it is much heavier, you might have an issue with the arms staying in position.  I would be worried if the monitors are more than 5 pounds heavier than the Asus VW246H.

Question 7

My desk is against a wall and I have one 24" and one 27" monitor. I also like one monitor facing me and the other off to the side at an angle (interchanging which one is facing me, between the 24" and 27"). Would this mount allow me to switch between those two arrangements, keeping the desk against the wall? I want to know if the arms of the mount need to extend past the back of the desk.

Accepted Answer

It all depends on how close you want the monitor to your face. I use 2 27's and i have them flat and it works out great. Even if you pull your desk away from the wall about an inch (which is perfect)

Question 8

I have one 27" and one 28" monitor. Will this stand work for them? Both different ACER models.

Accepted Answer

I have a 28" Acer B286HK (and a 22" LG) attached to mine and I have been using it for over a year. After the initial install (which took a lot of tightening) I've only had to tighten the adjustment arm for the Acer monitor once. During the time I've had this, I hurt my back and I would adjust it several times a day for when I was standing or sitting down and it holds up pretty rock solid.
