Surprising Quality for Foreign Made
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
As I unpacked the product I was surprised at the quality; reminded me of American made products when we used to make things in the USA.
There are two ways to mount the arm(s) base: base clamp or base grommet. The base clamp clamps to the edge of your desk, table, shelf etc. The grommet requires you to drill a small whole through the top of your desk for a bolt that slides through two thick metal plates and your desk, tightened by a wing-nut. Both mounts are pretty stout with the exception of the bolt for the grommet mounting option. For some reason they reduced the diameter of the grommet bolt from that of the clamp bolt. I have snapped that same size bolt more than once, although, that was back when we were getting a lot of inferior imported hardware (remember the airliners back in the ’90’s?). I couldn’t replace the bolt with a thicker one, without having to replace the molded mounting plates as well, so I opted for adding deep c-clamps over the two legs of the base. Overkill maybe, but I don’t worry about that bolt snapping and dumping dual monitors on my desk.
With that one exception, this product is well made.
I do wish they had made the pole for the arms a bit taller. I can barely get two monitors (23″ LCD), one above the other but it is doable if you set the bottom monitor on the desk.
I would suggest the company offer the laptop mount as an option. Those of us who will never use it have paid for unwanted hardware.
Two, three or more monitors, plus capable computer hardware/software makes multi-tasking a reality!
Worth the value, brilliant/quality materials
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought the Lx Dual Desk Mount Arm after I’ve had it with my desktop clutter. I ran a few searches for reviews about this product and while it was a bit pricey for my tastes (it was over $200 when I bought it), it was a very solid investment. I am very pleased with the construction and quality of the materials and while assembling the individual parts took a bit more time (the instructions were slightly convoluted) I’m very pleased with the product.
One ding I had (not really the product’s fault) was the laptop I had was too heavy with the laptop lid closed (I have a DELL Vostro 1500) and a DELL 24′ monitor. So I have to leave the laptop monitor open to “balance” out the weight. Again, not a problem of the actual mount arm but it would’ve nice if the laptop extension supported a ‘heavier’ laptop
This is a solid product and investment for those looking to solve their desktop sprawl
The best dual LCD mount on the market.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Probably one of the best dual LCD mount on the market, for the money. This unit makes my whole computer rig look ten times better just because this LCD stand looks so fantastic!
Pros:
Incredible build quality for the money.
Super simple to setup.
The most flexibility and range on LCD motion I have seen.
Very stable and secure.
Looks fantastic!
Cons:
Minor LCD wobble if you run/jump around the mount. This can be remedied by tightening everything down further.
Like it!

With a Small Tweak, All is Well
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
With this product my search was over: I am very satisfied with the arm and the flexibility of the mechanism. It is well-constructed, employs high grade materials, and is perfectly designed.
Caveat No. 1: Like other reviewers noted, the positioning mechanism requires a bit of tweaking to align with the weight and height of your monitors and/or monitor+laptop combo. Apart from two lockng keys that help to adjust the height on the single pole, there is a single compression bolt or tension rod locking nut on the swivel arm that is critical to the mechanism. It works very much like ancient model swivel lamps that rely on one locking knob to hold its position. You half expect the droopy lamp phenomena here but not on on this device: while the locking system can indeed be tough to manage, the solution is to go the monitor or the laptop temporarily out of the way so that you can properly adjust the bolt or tension nut. Positioning the locking system perpendicularly and directly behind the monitor/laptop is a bit of an odd design choice.
Once set in position, you can forget the swivel since the tension is now weight-adjusted. I can constantly change the height and extend the arms, with no loss of tension or inducing a recoil effect.
Caveat No. 2: The reason I haven’t given a 5 star rating is that there is too much movement when typing on the laptop mounted on one of the arms. The solution is to use a separate USB keyboard and mouse. I use a KVM switch that manages two laptops and uses a single keyboard, mouse and audio input/output.
Caveat No. 3: While the laptop mounts are of excellent quality, I found the retaining springs (which is rather flimsy looking and another poor design choice) and brackets to be too small. I add a 3/4 inch thick cooling fan under the laptop which together exceeds the specs of the retaining springs and retaining bracket. Without the springs and brackets, the laptop would just slip from the mount. Not excellent! The work around is to reposition the springs and mount these on the cooling fan which is in turn held by the arm’s mounting bracket.
All in all, a fantastic product with minor inconveniences and design compromises, which fulfills your expectations as long as you use the laptop mounted on one of the arms with a separate keyboard and mouse.
I’ve got some desk space back..
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This desk mount dual arm has helped make my laptop feel like a desktop computer. Now that my laptop is off the desk I can fit my Wacom Tablet on the desk with the laptop being at the back of the desk.
The set up was simple enough. It took me about 2 hours to place it together. The instructions were helpful and complete with lots of pictures.
I went out and bought a 1080 HD 22 in. LCD monitor as a second show for my 17 in. MacBook Pro. The arms seem very strong and capable of handling the load. Because I can adjust each arm, I can align the displays to make it feel like one cohesive computer desktop. There is a lot of range of motion on each arm.
I also like the way the arms can easily hide cords in them without a lot of effort.
