Precision Positioning. Zero Effort.
The M2.1 uses a patented internal spring mechanism that counterbalances your monitor's weight, allowing effortless one-finger repositioning at any height or angle. Unlike gas-spring arms that lose tension over time, the M2.1's mechanical spring maintains consistent performance for the life of the product: backed by a 15-year warranty.
Humanscale M2.1 Monitor Arm
Less Plastic. More Performance.
The M2.1 is constructed from die-cast aluminium with post-consumer recycled content. It's built to outlast the monitor it holds, which is why Humanscale offers a 15-year warranty, the longest in the category. The slim profile and integrated cable management keep your desk clean and your workspace looking professional.
