Review on πŸ–₯️ VIVO Premium Aluminum Heavy Duty Arm: Single Monitor Desk Mount with Height Adjustment - Fits 1 Screen up to 32 inches (STAND-V101G1) by Joshua Gaines

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not recommended for Samsung G9, but flat monitors should be fine.

. Fits 1 screen up to 32 inch STAND-V101G1 sold by VIVO on November 25, 2020 for $99.99: Simply put if you buy this for a Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor, NOT. At one point when I bought this stand it was advertised as being able to support over 33 pounds, which of course anyone with a kindergarten equivalent basic education can tell it's over 31 pounds, which is what the Samsung website says for G9 is specified. (VIVO has since apparently changed that list to say something else.) While the air arm can "support" the G9's weight, the problem lies in the monitor's center of gravity: Because it's a forward-curved display, it weighs down it massively hinges the monitor directly in front of the VESA quick release mount. This makes it almost impossible to set the G9 up for more than a day or two without tilting the screen. By this point I had almost ripped off the hex key that came with the stand and the screw that held and tightened the hinge in question. If you're happy with the slight downward tilt of the display, great, you'll be happy. However, if you want the right ergonomics with a screen at eye level and facing you, switch to another solution and let me know if you can find one for less than $300.

Pros
  • Monitor Accessory
Cons
