Single monitor arms free up desk space and bring one screen to the right height and distance for your eyes. This range spans desk clamp, through-desk, post and wall mounted arms from Colebrook Bosson Saunders, CMD, Atdec, Metalicon and Sourcetec, with a few options from Dynamic Office Solutions.
How to choose a single screen arm
Match the arm to the screen first, then to the desk.
- Check the weight of your monitor and the VESA pattern on its back, because every arm has a load range it works best within.
- Curved and ultrawide screens are heavier and wider, so look at models such as the Atdec Ora, which is listed for flat and curved screens.
- Decide on the fixing: a desk clamp is quickest to fit, a through-desk bolt suits a permanent installation, and wall mounts keep the desk clear.
- Gas lift arms such as the Metalicon Levo let you move the screen with one hand, which helps if you share a desk.
- If you use a laptop alongside your monitor, look at arms with a laptop support option such as the CMD Vision S.
For offices, design projects and home desks
Businesses fitting out a floor usually standardise on one arm across every desk, and can ask for a quote on the full quantity. Designers and fit-out contractors often specify the CBS Flo or Ollin for their look as much as their movement. Home workers adding a screen can buy one Sourcetec Zed or Move, or a CMD Reach, and fit it themselves with a desk clamp.
Every arm ships to the UK mainland direct from the manufacturer. Quantity pricing is available through trade and quotes. If you run two screens side by side, look at our dual monitor arms instead.
