Ergotron 45-214-026 Review by Matt Baxter (Nordeast Minneapolis, MN USA)
I got two of these arms to mount a Dell 30" (3007WFP HC) and Dell 20" (2001FP) rotated portrait. They are very different weights, with the tension adjusted they both sit exactly where I want them and do not move. I really have been pleased. I love not having anything under the monitors.
A minor issue: the 30: is pretty much the maximum you could use. It's only a few inches above the desk (which is ok on something that sized). The lower portion of this arm could be a couple inches taller and it would greatly increase the flexibility of this mounting arm.
A potential major issue: I think this was designed by Skynet and it's going to be pissed when it realizes I have been using it's futuristic cyborg killer arm to hold up my monitors at a comfortable height. I suspect I will be targeted early.
Ergotron 45-214-026 Review by Enginerd (Salt Lake City, UT)
I'm using this monitor mount for a Wacom monitor (Wacom CINTIQ 21UX (DTK2100) 21-Inch Pen Display - Graphics Monitor with Digital Pen).
This is a very solid monitor mount. All structural components are metal (mostly aluminum I believe). I have the mount clamped to my workstation table and there is no sag or flex and my monitor is very heavy (19 pounds). Of course you want to make sure the table you support from is strong enough for the load.
Instructions came with the mount, but setup was pretty intuitive so I didn't even use them. All hardware necessary to attach the monitor to the mount and the mount to the table is included. You can either clamp the mount to a table (requires about 1/2" of space between the wall and the table) or you caon mount it through a hole in the table top (like a grommet hole for cables). Altogether from taking the mount of the packaging to completing the install and adjustment was about 20 minutes.
Two springs keep the monitor in the position you want. A hex head tool is included to tighten or loosen spring tension as needed for your specific monitor.
Product strengths:
Sturdy, all metal structure
Easy set up and adjustment
cable wireway in lower arm
Product weakness:
Rotation (for use in portrait mode) is only in counterclockwise direction
5 stars for being a great, solid product.
Ergotron 45-214-026 Review by J. Naeve "JimN" (Murphy, TX USA)
I'm already a huge fan of Ergotron products going back to when I used to design and install computer rooms and data centers. So, when the time came for me to buy something for my home office, I did shop a bit but always came back to Ergotron. Last year I purchased the LX Dual Desk Mount Arm to support a 22" Samsung monitor and my Apple MacBook Pro 15". This setup has been awesome, providing me with a dual-monitor feature that is really a time saver.
I want to provide some key information to anyone considering this device that I think will help you decide.
1) I purchased this arm concerned it may not support the weight of the Apple iMac 27" computer. The computer with the base weighs in at 30.5 lbs and without the base is ~27.5 lbs. so based on the math, I'm well within the weight range of the MX Arm spec. That being said, since I already knew how to adjust my LX Dual Arm setup, I found the MX to be identical in adjustment and fitment capability.
2) Ergotron sent a nice package of bolts, screws, desk-mount optional hardware and even a set of tools to make the adjustments. Setting it up was simple and getting attached was fairly straight forward. They provide a wing-nut to tighten the base to the desk but I recommend if you have a heavy monitor or computer like I do, go to a nearby hardware store and buy a nylon-insert nut (I forgot the specific size, just take the bolt with you) and use that to fasten it to the desk. Be sure not to over tighten it or you could potentially damage your furniture and the swing arm.
3) If your computer or monitor leans toward the high end of the scale with respect to the specification of this swing arm, be sure to pre-tighten the adjustment screws before you put weight on it. You'll find it much easier to do and, easier to adjust afterward. I should have I know but I didn't keep track of how many revolutions I made on the neck and head adjustments but suffice it to say it was more than 20 full revolutions. You'll get a sense for how the tension is but just be careful not to over tighten.
4) Make sure you've assembled everything according to the spec but also make sure you've installed your mounting bracket correctly so that you can just simply lay the monitor or the computer on the MX Arm and hand tighten the large plastic-headed screws to the 100x100 mounting plate. This will make life very easy.
Bottom line, I used the VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24-inch/27-inch iMac and 24-inch LED Cinema Display - Apple Part Number: MC434ZM/A -- this worked perfectly and was very well made.
This was a very straight forward and very effective solution for what I was trying to achieve. I'm now able to swing my Apple 27" iMac 180 degrees around on my desk, pivot it upward about 70 degrees and lower it if needed. It works very well, its very well made and I highly recommend this to anyone considering this sort of mount for your large iMac or Cinema displays!!!
