Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a monitor arm instead of the standard stand?
Standard monitor stands are rarely tall enough for proper ergonomics, forcing you to look down, which strains your neck and upper back. A dynamic monitor arm allows you to position the top of the screen at eye level and easily adjust the focal depth, encouraging a neutral, upright posture. It also frees up significant desk space beneath the monitor.
How do I know if my monitor is compatible?
Almost all modern monitors use the VESA mounting standard (either 75x75mm or 100x100mm square hole patterns on the back). All the monitor arms we sell are VESA compatible. You just need to ensure your monitor's weight (without its original stand) falls within the weight capacity of the arm you choose.
What is the difference between gas spring and mechanical spring arms?
Gas spring arms use compressed gas to balance the monitor weight, offering smooth adjustment but they can lose pressure over many years. Mechanical spring arms (like the CBS Flo series) use patented internal coil springs. They offer incredibly smooth 'fingertip' adjustment, are more environmentally friendly, and generally have a longer lifespan without degrading.
Can I mount a monitor arm on a glass desk?
We do not recommend using clamp mounts on tempered glass desks, as the concentrated pressure can cause the glass to shatter. For glass desks, you should look for specific mounting plates designed to distribute the load, or use a freestanding monitor mount instead.
How do I mount these to my desk?
Most of our monitor arms come with a standard desk clamp that attaches to the back edge of your desk. Many also include a 'through-desk' or grommet mount option, which allows you to bolt the arm through an existing cable hole for a cleaner look.
