How much does the monitor weigh without the base? I want to put it on a monitor arm

The monitor is about the weight if a normal 15" inch laptop. The arm should hold with no issues.

Mine weighs in at around 40 lbs...which I thought was rather silly heavy. Would not trust any plastic stand to hold 80 lbs, but it may work. Having trouble coming up with any computer that could possibly be that heavy, by the way. While I have no idea what you have to make it that heavy, would suggest you make a custom stand...fairly easy to make from wood, by the way.

The base is heavy enough to hold dual monitors firmly in place. If you don't want the mounting feet on the stand, then you could drill a hole through your desk and install just the upright pole for the monitors. I know you mentioned you didn't want to drill, but just wanted to let you know the 2 standards mounting options for this stand.

I have a 27" that it holds nicely, however, I don't think it is the weight you should be concerned about. Too large a monitor will not give you the height or maneuverability that it is designed for.

It has a clamp that mounts on an edge. It would never support the weight of itself and a monitor without the clamp and you cannot drill through the base.

Others have mostly covered it. I would add also that the weight would become problematic for the base. It does come with the hardware to mount it to the desk though, so you could do that. You may be able to get a 27in monitor on there though if you got a thin bezel version. It would be pushing it though.

Just screw/unscrew the fasteners that hold the monitor arms up on the base pole. I'd say it'd be relatively easy as long as the base is in reach and you're not doing it more than once or twice during a workday.

When you put the monitor on the arm you will bend it, because the arm movement will depend on the weigh of the monitor.

I had a 24 " monitor on it weighs about 3 lbs. This did absolutely nothing to it. If I had to give a guess at least 10 lbs

I have an ASUS laptop that weights 4.2 lbs and it is kind of too heavy for this stand. The issue is the glass top of the stand, since it is held by four metal blocks that are glued to the glass with an adhesive the weight of the laptop caused those to come loose from the glass. I tried re-gluing with super-glue but that did not work, I wound up using electrical tape to secure the top. Given that that 4.2 lbs. seems too heavy for this stand I would NOT recommend using it for a 15 lb monitor.

There are any number of ways to assemble it. I actually just mounted the monitor to the arm after mounting the whole assembly to the wall, but I could have mounted the plate to the monitor and dropped the arm into the other arm. It would have also separated at the swivel plate on the wall, or at the swivel on the monitor mount. It would require disassembly, as it comes completely assembled. They do give you the tools, however throw the stamped wrench away. The provided hex key will do the job of separating the arms. You will have a large bag of hardware left over, as it covers almost all of the monitors made. There are any number of ways to assemble it.

I didn't weigh it myself. It is light weight compared to my last laptop for sure. You need a special scale to weigh it. So I can't. Just figure they are right

I do not know exactly but is not very heavy. This mount worked well for me: Cheetah Mounts ALAMLB Articulating Arm (20" Extension) TV Wall Mount Bracket for 23-55 inch LCD

I can comment on the weight capability a bit. I attached an old Dell monitor (not quite flat screen) to the stand. I didn't know that they have standardized mounting holes on monitors and so it was quite easy to attach the monitor to the stand. But there is really no fine control knob on the stand to adjust the angle of the attached monitor, and so it sags from a pure vertical position, and I have to prop it up with stacked odds and ends. This is annoying, and I would have returned it for that reason but it had been quite a while since I received it and just decided to use it as is.

Hi T Smith,I have a 21" flat screen that I just lifted in order to answer your question. I think it must be about the same weight as yours. The lift works. You want to make sure all the adjustments are in a locked position before putting the monitor on the lifter stand. I have might adjusted high. the flat tray is 24" off the top of my desk. It rocks a bit when I first put the monitor down but holds it without a problem. I hope this helps.

It would be very difficult to use this monitor without a base. It is very thin and lite so it would be prone to falling over unless you have a way to stabilize it.

My screens are 19 and 14 pounds and it holds just fine at max extention (~2ft). However mine is mounted through a 1 inch mdf desktop with 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the desk. When I was using the clamp to decide where to permanently mount it, the arm was a little unstable and I did not feel comfortable leaving them mounted like that for any extended amount of time. The arm is definitely strong enough to hold both your monitors, it's more a question of how you plan on mounting it.In short; it will hold just fine if you don't use the clamp and have a good solid desktop.
