Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the strongest but works for lighter monitors

I've bought five of these monitors already. It was about the cheapest 3-way adjustable monitor arm I found on Revain and since they worked well for me I added them as needed. As others have said, they have some plastic components, particularly the hinges where the arms connect. While I'd rather have metal in it, I haven't had any issues with either so far. I have everything from an old 17" to a newer 28" HD monitor and have had no trouble holding either of them. I actually had to reduce the lift on one of my 26s because it wanted to lift too easily. The assembly is quite simple, but screwing in the screws is difficult when using a clamp bracket. It is easiest to disassemble the clamp, insert and tighten the screws for the spacer, and then reassemble the clamp. The reason this is so difficult is because there isn't much room for the included wrench and the screws are intentionally hard to turn. to keep them from loosening it takes forever to just make a 1/3 turn of the screw and then stick the wrench in again and again. The first few I bought came with only one set of monitor screws and no gaskets. , but the last one I just got also includes some longer screws and standoffs that may fix the recessed rear monitor issue. None of my monitors need them, but I know a lot of the bad reviews on here are from -due to issues with of the installation during the break It looks like they have listened and are changing their product. So overall I think they are ok for the money. If you're in a high-demand environment where monitors are constantly moving, plastic hinges can be a bit of a hassle. But if you're like me and rarely move them, then this is a decent hand. I mean. I ended up buying 5 of these.
