DuronicDual Monitor Stand Arm PC Desk Mount Riser DM252 Double Height Adjustable Twin Bracket 13-27 Inch LED LCD Two 8KG Computer Screens VESA 75 100

This is an example of the excellent monitor arm.I have T300Chi tablet 12.5-inch and 22-inch monitor which I wanted to remove from the table to free up my desk. The basic principle is - whenever I need my desk it's free out of monitors.I've bought one more piece of kit i-tec USB 3.0 Dual Docking Station to plug in my tablet and have everything in one place at the edge of the desk and the next stage was to remove the actual devices.My priorities were: budget, two arms (once for monitor and one for the tablet), VESA mount system, very sturdy and solid, adjustable by height/arms positions (to move monitors back and forth), compact enough.So I found this DM252 model, read few positive reviews which gave me an idea that the quality is excellent and it does its job, so I gave it a go!I attached few photos to give an idea how the whole thing looks like (sharing our reviews we help each other).The assembly is very simple, screw here, screw there, instructions are great so you'll make it. Just be careful with the monitor when you attach it to the table and base. Do it with someone else to save your nerves.Pros:+ Sturdy & solid;+ Thoughtful product;+ Excellent build quality;+ Adjustable arms;+ Adjustable heads flexibility (with "Allen key" you can change head tension);+ Stylish;+ Cable management system (for cables: 4 hooks to put them on arms, 1 hook for centre base, 2 nice straps);+ Included screws for head & monitor+ Excellent simple and handy instructionsCons:- Arms bend angle is limited with ~85 deg. in other words, you can't put head close to the arm as if you bent your elbow.Thumb up if this review was helpful, hope it helped.

I use this to keep my main monitor (27") head on and allow my secondary monitor (24") to either sit against the wall when not needed or swivel out to a ~35 degree angle when in use. I chose this over one of the variants with the clamp because I didn't want to damage the surface of my desk. Compared to two single stands it's a lot neater and allows the secondary monitor to swivel over the top of whatever's on the other half of my desk.The stand itself is satisfyingly heavy. Installation is easy. With both monitors on it's extremely stable in all but the most unlikely positions. The arms don't sag or tilt at all, even with my heavier monitor stretched out as far from the centre as it can go. Each segment can be individually tightened or loosened which is nice in setups like mine where a monitor either has to remain locked in position or pivot around a specific point. Loosening the arms doesn't seem to have any negative effect on stability - they remain perfectly straight no matter what.The only thing I would like is the ability to lock the tilt/rotation of the monitors. These are still tight enough that the monitors don't tilt under their own weight but it would be nice to be able to lock them to avoid accidental nudges. A bit of duct tape around the outside of the mount would probably do it well enough though.The base has a screw holes at each tip so if you have heavier monitors or a more unbalanced setup you can ensure it doesn't fall over. The base is fairly large but it looks good enough. It's still nicer looking than 2x standard stands and a necessary compromise if you want a freestanding model. You can always make use of some of that surface area by sticking USB hubs or other peripherals to it since it's nice and flat.Overall this is an excellent stand for a dual-monitor setup and I have absolutely no regrets over choosing this one. There are cheaper stands out there but I doubt many can compare.

Heavy duty for the price, very positive and plenty of flexibility re positioning. Good selection of bolts supplied to attach various sizes of screen. Not cheap, but worth the money. Not suitable in my view for large and/or heavy screens.Edit : January 2015I've added to this review, as I have had a number of questions from people about it - and particularly fixing it to a desk. My observations :1. Most of the pictures in the negative reviews are not of the model I have and I can only assume they are of an old model, which kind of negates the whole review concept really, but - it does NOT now have a chrome vertical pole fitted to what looks like a boomerang shaped base as seen in the review pictures.2. Some of the negative reviews are based on customers who have used this to hang 2 x 27 inch monitors, weighing 4 kilos or more each, and fixed it to a veneered chipboard desk. The inevitable has happened, and the weight of the screens has acted as a lever on the small base plate, and its has dug into the surface of the desk. It seems a number of reviewers think this should have been made clear, and perhaps it should, but most importantly, you cant change the laws of physics - so a heavy weight, on a long lever, acting on small base plate is going to dig in - unless........ you use a piece of MDF or ply to pack it out and spread the load. I would suggest a 15cm square piece of 18mm thickness should do it, inserted between the desk surface and the clamp. If you then clamp over the 'sandwich' of the desk edge and the wood, the load will have been spread and that should hopefully stop any digging. Even if it doesn't, it will dig into the wood and not the desk top.3. This is a bracket that retails at £25. It's good for the money, but its not going to hold 2 big (27 inch. 4 kilos) and heavy screens well, despite (in my opinion) what the manufacturer specs suggest : you probably need to spend more for a better specification type. Many reviews state the tilting mechanism needs tightening all the time and this appears to be because of the heavy screens they are looking for it to support.I hope that helps.
