Revainrating 4 out of 5

At first I was disappointed, then I woke up and fell in love.

If you're trying to install 24" displays and want an unobtrusive setup, this review is for you. I recently purchased two Samsung 23.6 inch curved monitors. (also on Revain). I'm not a fan of curved TVs, but I will say that a curved monitor makes a huge difference because you're sitting so close to it. Please note that the mounting brackets on these monitors are centered on the top rather than the back, so attempting to use a standard bracket will result in the screen being smaller than desired. In any case, I collected this thing and its size. I was just worried. After hanging this bracket on my wall and hanging the screens on it, I was incredibly disappointed. But read on! I wanted my screens to sit as close to the wall as possible, still have a nice continuous curve, and also not be constrained by table movement. Basically, I wanted to free up space on my desk and get a little more height. With all those arms it was really bulky, standing far from the wall and if the screens had to be together with no space (again 24 inches) that also meant they had to be very, very large. I literally took everything apart, repackaged it and printed out a return slip. Then I thought to myself. This mount is a pretty good piece of gear and the quick release system makes it very easy to mount (and dismount) it. But I've found that I don't have a need for myself ALL the levers and quick couplers on each part are identical. So I immediately started putting it back together, leaving the extensions OFF and just using the hydraulic levers. The result was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. My screens are now making good contact, sit about 6 inches from my desk and only the lowest part of the mount is visible (see image), which doesn't prevent my desk from sitting snugly against the wall. I could see how the same setup could support two large screens and hide or hide the mount even more for an even neater look. for a mount that contains parts that you will not be using. And I found a few other brands at Sears and Walmart which are basically the setup I ended up using. But this mount is really very good and instead of paying for the return postage and being disappointed again I decided to keep it for myself as it ended up doing exactly what I wanted when I changed the setup. I wish the cable management would allow cables to run through the center of the main mount or behind it somehow. I hate visible cables and cords. Eventually I'll figure out how to hide them, and the hydraulic arms have a place to hide and manage your cables to some extent. Hope that was helpful!

Pros
  • Organizes your workspace so you look neat and professional. Cable management clips keep tangles and hide cables from view
Cons
  • Reliability
