How can I elevate my monitor?
-
Monitor arms, monitor stands, and laptop stands are all great options for elevating your monitor to an ergonomic eye-level. There are many options available to match the style of monitor or screen you work from, and many can be combined on one desk surface for optimum flexibility.
Are monitor arms worth it? Is a monitor stand worth it?
-
Most people have their monitors too low, forcing their back and neck muscles to support their hanging heads. And heads are heavy, accounting for 8 percent of our body weight! A monitor arm or stand is a worthwhile investment to prevent neck, shoulder and back pain, and to avoid eye strain.
Do monitor arms save space?
-
Yes, monitor arms and stands can save space by elevating the monitor or screen above the desk surface. Monitor arms create the most space by attaching to the back of the desk and elevating the screen completely off of the desktop surface. Desk stands and shelves often require more desktop surface area for attachment, but create space underneath for storing small items like notepads and cellphones. Laptop stands leave the least amount of space, but options like our Roost Laptop Stand are also storable to create workspace when you need it.
Are monitor stands universal?
-
It depends on the stand. Our Jarvis Monitor Arm and Jarvis Dual Monitor Arm are our most versatile options with a removable VESA plate and ability to accommodate monitors as heavy at 19.8lbs (9kg). You can also order it with a removable laptop tray.
Do Monitor Arms work with all monitors?
-
No, which is why there are a variety of options available, though some work with many different brands and sizes. Every monitor arm we offer includes detailed information on which monitor styles and sizes will work. Just check out the specifications tab on the monitor arm or monitor stand product page. Or reach out to our customer service team for help.
