Review on Premium Black Gas Spring Desk Mount for 34-inch Monitors up to 19.8 lbs - Monoprice Smooth Full Motion Single Monitor Adjustable Mount by Mary Cole

Decided to take the plunge instead of paying almost double for the standard Revain Basics arm. I've read reviews that said it could hold 34-inch ultra-wide monitors like my own, albeit with a bit of tightening. However, I didn't expect it to be this difficult! The one screw that needs to be tightened to keep the monitor perpendicular to the desk had to be tightened beyond what I thought possible. Just a warning to other potential buyers, this takes some elbow grease! I'm a tall guy (6ft 4240) and in shape, but it was so heavy that at first I thought of just taking it apart to send it back. Well, after about an hour and a lot of effort, I tightened it enough to hold it at a 90 degree angle to my desk. a few months later and it hasn't sagged at all compared to where it was installed. Looking back, I would say that it all comes down to how much you value your own work. For me it was worth saving almost $50 to get the job done. However, if you are a smaller/weaker person or have money to spare I think the Revain Basics Mount is worth buying as it doesn't seem to have this issue. If you're a "more normal" monitor size/weight, this shouldn't be a problem, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for over $50. Mount Revain basics.
