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.
Regain your desk space while improving ergonomics
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Just bought this and have been using it happily for the last 2 days. The instructions were very simple to follow and I was able to get the whole thing setup in about 30 minutes and all I needed was a Philips head screw driver. One of the less essential parts was missing and when I called the toll free number on the Instructions booklet, and after waiting on hold for about 30 seconds, I was able to speak to someone and they apologized and will have it to me within a couple of business days. The arms are very sturdy and yet can go fluidly. They also look fantastic, like something out of science fiction. Thanks to Ergotron, I’m able to “float” my laptop and my 24″ monitor and in the process, have regained my precious desktop space. I highly recommend this product for ergonomic reasons and for the space saving and de-cluttered look.
fit my need perfectly
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have a digital docking station and a KVM to switch between work and personal computers. I needed to set up an analog flat screen monitor to accommodate a second work laptop. Now I can switch laptops with my KVM and go a monitor into position to use just one keyboard and mouse. My ancient wall mount monitor arm now holds the laptop table. The quality and the strength of the arms is perfect. When I upgrade my office equipment in the future, the arms will continue to fit my requirements.
Does what it’s supposed to … very well!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Lx Dual Desk Mount Arm delivers on quality, durability, and functionality. I set it up the day I received it and it took about 1 to 1.5 hours to place together and “tweak”. I have 24″ and 22″ Dell flat panel monitors, and both mounted very easily. The weight of each monitor was too much at first for each arm, but after a couple minutes of adjustments with an allen wrench (several come with the kit) I am able to go the monitors as I need for my own comfort, as well as for clients or friends when present.
NOTE: I do not use the notebook mount, but I will say that it is solid construction, so for those that plot to use it, my sense is that you will not be disappointed and should feel assured that it will hold your notebook safely.
I have had it set up for a few weeks now, and the position of the arms has not changed, so I’m very impressed that it seems to defy gravity and hold its placement – on the mount to the desk itself and the arms – very well. I now have more room on my desk, and the best thing about this setup is that I don’t necessarily sit in the same position in my chair as I work for a while, so I’m able to easily go the monitors higher/lower and in/out for comfortable viewing all day, every day. I have no basis of comparison with other mount devices, but I can honestly say that I have never been more pleased with how my monitors are arranged and it was well worth the money spent.
Awesome Dual Arm Desk Mount
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an awesome desk mounting system with dual arms. I used both arms for LCD monitors, one Dell SP2309W (23″, VESA 100mm), and another one Samsung 205BW (20″, VESA 75mm).
It came with :
* 2 main arms
* 2 extensions
* 2 VESA 100mm mounting brackets
* 1 notebook tray
* 1 desk clamp
* 1 grommet clamp
* accessories & tools
And both arms can be mounted directly onto VESA 75mm compliant monitors without using the 100mm VESA bracket .
The arm is very simple to set up, took me like 20+ min to get both arms set up and attached to my monitors. The arm is also very flexible to adjust to any positions. The tension adjustment works very well. I didn’t even have to adjust the tension for the 20″ Samsung, but I did adjust it for the Dell 23″.
I have a corner desk in my study room, and the arm really frees up most of my desk space which allows me to place my MacBook Pro right in front of both monitors and still have some space between my arms and the MBP. This allows me to sit more ergonomically and more comfortable. I strongly recommend this mounting system to anyone who can afford a small bit extra money but will get a very solid mounting system that supports dual monitors or one monitor and one laptop.
Fantastic product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my office, it works very well, it was a bit confusing to setup at first because there are multiple options on how to mount it. Once it was setup it works awesome. I looked at the single pedestal units, but really needed the fee desk space for my laptop and docking station. Would recommend this
Brilliant, gorgeous design. Perfect Solution
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Wow! It’s the perfect solution in my music studio to keep my dual monitors off the desk and infinitely, amazingly adjustable. They look way cool too.
When I unpacked everything I was at first a small intimidated by what seemed to be a lot of parts. Once I got my bearings, though, it turned out to be very simple, and within about 20 minutes I had my monitors attached to the arms, the whole thing installed and adjusted and was back to work.
Bravo! Brilliant product. Worth every penny.
Product functions very well, but was a small huge for my home office
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This Lx Dual Desk monitor arm functions very well and is very simple to assemble – but was a small huge for my home office.
In my case, the desk faces out towards the office door – so when people walked in the first thing they saw were the dual arms of the monitor stand – most people commented that it looked like something you would see on a spaceship.
Having said that, the stand was very adjustable and did a very nice job freeing up desk space. If you are not concerned about the bulky look, or if your visitors will see only the front of the monitors, then I would highly recommend this stand.
In the end, I returned this product and bought the Ergotron DS100 Dual-monitor Desk Stand – it takes up a small bit more desk space, but is not quite as bulky (but, the DS100 doesn’t have anywhere near the same level of adjustment that the Lx Dual Mount has).
Looks fantastic! saves lots of space! Perfect for people who have shortages of space!
