I found the product just ingenious for the smallest details. The arms hold your cables so that they can be kept clean. The product came with laptop accessories in the event I wanted to use a one monitor, one laptop configuration, and it had plenty of supplies (screws, velcro, etc)

That said, the setup is both very aesthetic and incredibly functional. I would recommend these stands to any business professionals who are looking to get more visual desktop space without sacrificing looks.

The main reason why I bought this product is b/c I was sick and tired of working eight hour days hunched over on my laptop, straining my neck and back. This setup allows me to position the monitor and laptop to whatever height I desire. Don’t even bother with laptop stands, ergotron is the way to go.

Cons: I can’t reckon of any.

This LX Dual Desk Mount Arm set worked perfectly! It took me about an hour-and-a-half to set up but it was time well worth spent. Besides looking very slick, it cleared up alot of desktop space and it pains me to reckon about my setup before.

Warning: do not set your tension too low when it comes to the drop-down on the extension arms. It will mostly set itself just fine. All you will need to do is adjust a small bit. Even if you do set the tension too low, you’ll realize this very quickly while attaching the back plate to the monitor (does it go around too much?) and should tighten it up a few turns.

I do recommend loosening up the screws some though in nearly all of the joints. They come a small tight from the factory. Just loosen a small though and don’t mess with the phillips screws on the monitor attachment plate (that’s not needed at all)! All other screws with the included wrenches are fine to play with. Mess with them too much though and your monitors will droop. Too small and you can’t go them. It made it simpler to adjust though when the screws were already loosened when I installed.

Over all, I highly recommend this setup for anyone with 2 monitors.

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).

Bravo! Brilliant product. Worth every penny.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!
