Optimized Single Monitor Desk Mount - Monoprice Essential (116243) Review

Very heavy and strong. Assembly was easy, I used a grommet to attach to my desk. What I really like is the cable management. For the price unbeatable. I will definitely recommend this.

Mounting tubes are strong and durable. Altitude, pitch and yaw can be adjusted. The monitor mount can also be adjusted to support different sizes. They send a bunch of screws for various attachments. What's really good are the hollow tubes, through which the monitor and webcam cables can be routed from the inside, which ensures a clean look.

I have no idea what the other reviewer was talking about, maybe they have a bad block? This mount is very strong compared to other mounts I have used. The breech set screw is not even needed to secure the case. I can literally put all my weight on the monitor and it won't slide off. I also appreciate that the desk clamp part has 3 sets of mounting holes so it can accommodate almost any thickness.

First, the lever doesn't actually lock the breech to the post. A set screw is included to lock the clasp in place. However, the set screw that comes with the device is too short, allowing it to go all the way through the clasp without tightening it to the stand and doing its job as intended. Then the monitor gets damaged because it slides and bangs against your desk because nothing is strong enough to hold the fastener in place. Don't buy this!
