Review on πŸ–₯️ Ergotron LX Single Monitor Arm - VESA Desk Mount for Monitors Up to 34 Inches, 7-25 lbs - Polished Aluminum - Enhance Your SEO by Rudolph Mceachern

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very disappointing for computers and accessories

I was very excited about this purchase after reading all the reviews but after receiving and installing it I regret to say that this is one of the worst purchases ever I have ever made at Revane. Here are some reasons: (1) This product is exactly the same as the RevainBasics (https://www.amazon.com/RevainBasics-Premium-Premium-Single-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN16O/) product, maybe with only minor differences in colour, finish and logo - and yet the RevainBasics product is a lot cheaper. One of the reviews of the RevainBasics product that I saw showed that Ergotron is indeed the manufacturer. Today it turns out that many of the products available under different brand names at Revain are actually duplicates of each other. (2) Like many reviewers of the RevainBasics product (although oddly none of the reviewers of this Ergotron product reported this), my monitor plate arrived. glued to the ceiling. I kept trying to adjust each screw from loose to tight to loose again and just when I was about to give up (after about an hour of fiddling) the plate finally started moving after much application of the force. And the effort required to move it is completely independent of loosening or tightening the screw. This item may have been defective, but many, many reviewers of the RevainBasics product have also reported this. I wasn't happy about it in the end, but at least I managed to get it to the position I wanted in the end (i.e. straight ahead) and there was no way I was going to adjust it on a regular basis, so I was up for the challenge to accept (3) If you use the middle part of the arm extension, the monitor actually sticks out very far. For this reason I decided - as indicated in the instructions - to simply attach the monitor plate bracket directly to the stand post. In this case, however, the hole size on the monitor arm is slightly larger than that on the stand. This causes the monitor to shake a lot. (That wobble doesn't exist if you're using an extension cord, as the holes in it are a more appropriately sized one.) You can tighten the small screw on the monitor plate mount to stabilize things, but really all it does is mark it up the base . pole so that it is held there by friction. This is not a very secure way of holding the monitor. (4) The main reason I bought the computer mount in the first place was that I could adjust it up and down. This hand doesn't have a good mechanism for that. All it is is a bar with another very small screw that you screw into the bar's solid base, making marks on it and transferring all the weight to the friction. I don't think it's harmless and I'm afraid that at some point the monitor will just slip off and fall off. For example, the support post should have small screw holes. It would be much more reliable. (5) The instruction manual - only stapled sheets - is extremely poor and incomprehensible. All in all the product looks exactly like the picture and does what it is supposed to do. do. It's just that many of the mechanics, as outlined above, are poorly developed. And I don't feel at all that my (expensive) monitor is secure when supported by this arm. For these reasons I am returning this product.
