Pros: Delivered in two days with standard UPS (CA to NY), looks like a futuristic robotic arm, full metal construction [aluminum and steel], premium commercial grade quality, cabling system enough to house 4 cables, offers choice of underside torque clamp or drilling through desk to secure, can accommodate up to a 30lb display, 180 degrees of movement at the pivot point, 360 horizontal movement at secondary pivot, 180 degrees left; 180 degrees right in the vertical plain for portrait view, included all screws
Cons: The two instructional sheets should have stated and depicted the VESA mounting is arced up by default. In the images (the instructions are entirely diagrams) the VESA mount is at the standard 90 degrees which it wasn't as the spring system by default arced up. This perplexed me to the point that I spent about an hour trying to center the VESA mount (it takes quite a bit of force to move it down, as the spring system is under a good amount of tension). I finally had an epiphany; the weight of the LCD may suffice to center the VESA mount. That did the trick.
Overall Review: This is a very high quality LCD arm. It doesn't say that it's commercial grade but after you had a chance to use it, you just know this thing was meant for a demanding work environment. I didn't need it for the workplace though, I just needed an LCD arm to get rid of the clutter on my desk so I could place my 5.1 speakers. I figured that since this LCD arm could hoist a maximum of 30lbs, it must be of exceptional quality and assures me that it won't go to waste if I upgrade my 22" to something larger in the future. Be mindful that if you get this mount make sure it weighs 14lbs to center the VESA pivot as it's on a tensioned spring which arcs the VESA mount about 45 degrees. I was fortunate that my 12.7lb LCD centered the VESA pivot with the tension screw at the lowest point. You can have it at the 45 degree angle if you want by adjusting the VESA mount tension spring. One more thing adjust the spinal tension (check manual) so the arm can be lowered without reverting to maximum height.
