Review on 🖥️ VIVO MOUNT-V002G: Height Adjustable Dual Monitor Wall Mount for 17-27 inch Screens, Full Motion Articulating Arm, Pneumatic Extended Arm, in Black by Amber Westbrooks

Well, the main mechanisms of this model are pretty good. It's pretty easy to install and works quite well. The only thing that can really be said about this is that the gas spring didn't just mean it would be easier to move around during installation. That means he WANTS to move. Notably, to adjust the height, instead of a mechanism that would actually lock it in place, you just have to adjust the pressure a bit. You need to increase or decrease the pressure with the tool to adjust the resting height of your monitor. It's very difficult to make the right choice and make sure it's actually installed correctly and not just so close that it takes a long time to move up or down. I'm also concerned that it could jump up instantly if not hit properly, and it might even be powerful enough to hit you in the chin and do damage if you, say, stretch around it or something. I've never had this before, so maybe I'm being paranoid. (But I honestly don't think so. I just don't come across it often. It only takes one try, though.) It basically works with a gas spring, which basically makes it spring all the time, and then you adjust the tension so that the weight of the monitor will be compensated if you get the right height. (So they should warn you that detaching the monitor without first adjusting the tension can have the effect of casually jerking open a clicking handle and then watching the spring fly off and get lost in a corner somewhere, unless you're actually looking The spring could hit your eye instead.) But my real complaint is the monitor's tilt. If you blink too hard, it will tilt to one side (and then you'll need a prybar to get it to move the other way). God forbid anyone in the room sneezes! Okay, I'm exaggerating, but seriously, you barely bump into it and now the monitor is tilted. Then, ironically, it's very difficult to return it. Unfortunately, my main monitor actually needs an adapter to protrude from, and I can't press hard on the top of the screen itself without damaging it (a major downside of modern ultra-thin designs is the lack of a bezel to actually protect it, which isn't how break off a branch.) Leverage is not possible on the monitor itself. I have to reach out and adjust the adapter on the mount and try to align the screen, which is now three inches from my nose and it resists my attempts to align it all the way. It's just not possible to lock the tilt, even if you tighten it to the point where you think another 1/8 turn will break it. (Ok, maybe epoxy would do. It's not a perfect solution though.) I suspect the main purpose here might be for people who like to alternate between sitting and standing (like typically in an office where one person is). a computer). all day long.) The gas spring is certainly very fond of coming up at all times, and if you get a hold of it properly it probably won't be that hard to get back up (and provided you've cocked it properly, it should more or less always feel in position it in the correct down position.) If you were to do this, a small tilt adjustment would also be required, so the fact that the tilt doesn't lock up either is actually handy. Then of course you absolutely have to ditch the ultra-thin screen and get something with a nice thick and solid bezel. It may be well known among those buying a gas spring but I just haven't noticed and there isn't really a clear advertisement if that is the purpose and certainly can't advertise explicitly to people looking for it. Another thing that caused the problem for me is that the hands don't really have as much freedom of movement as I thought they would. The bottom part is fixed at an angle, and they can really interfere with each other. I had trouble telling the distance on both monitors (you want them far enough away for the best results, but obviously not far enough that you have to strain to see). I wanted the right one to be slightly tilted relative to me and it just wasn't possible to get it right. I ended up removing one of the hinges from my old mount (by the way, never buy a desktop mount unless you want your screen to shake like crazy with every keypress) and adjusted it to fit the last hinge fits. on the right side so it's triple-foldable and I can move it around a lot more. This is probably even more suboptimal than seriously considering using epoxy to hold the slope in place, but it works. In the end it took a lot of work and a bit of sketching, but I managed it. However, if you don't get up and sit down a lot, I don't think this is an option. If you do, I'm not sure you wouldn't be better off with one of those things that raise and lower your keyboard and monitor together.
