Can the articulating arms be tightened so that they do not move easily? I would like to keep my monitor in place once I'm satisfied. Is it possible?

Yes, however I am having trouble getting it to hold my 27" monitor in the vertical position. I had to put a support underneath because no amount of tightening would suffice. I noticed that I was not the only one with that problem. The stand is solid and well made and, other than that one complaint, a good deal.

Yes, I have a 24" monitor on mine and it is fairly heavy. It kept wanting to tilt down but I was able to tighten the Allen bolt on the arm joint and it stays in position now. I would guess that you can do this to every joint so that it would not move at all once you got it set to where you like it.

Well sort of. There are bolts at each joint that allow the movement. However, they really can not be tightened to the point of stopping all possible movement. They can be tightened to restrict movement but if you try hard enough the joints still move. For the money it's perfect and a quality product. I'm not sure that spending more will guarantee no movement, I'd look for that feature specifically.

The articulation are pretty tight, if you do not intend to move them, they will not slip around. You can definitely put them in one particular position and stay there forever.

Hello Digi,This monitor mount can be adjusted so that the arm will stay put. Thanks for your question!Taylor W.VIVO

Yes. It says it in the description that every joint can be tightened. I've done this with mine as well. If you want it really tight, you might need more leverag though.

Before I purchased this monitor, I read a couple of reviews that said the stand was stiff and required a little extra force to move. I found this to be the case with my monitor as well. I suspect it may designed that way...so the monitor holds its position at whatever viewing angle you choose.

that would be fine... not sure with the right measurements... I have the same set up... the arm has 3joints it bends (by the base, on the arm itself and at the monitor connector) you can put the monitors straight or slightly curved like what i do...

Past the "elbow" you have three places where the arm articulates and all of them are tightened/loosened using the provided allen wrench. 1. Just past the elbow on the underside of arm is one area where it articulates2. Where the arm ends and the assembly for the monitor starts is another area3. Lastly, the monitor assembly itself tilts/articulatesHope this helps!

There are a couple of ways, you can grip monitor itself and move it up and down, but only by small degrees. The best thing to do is to adjust it to where you want it and leave it. You may need to loosen the connections in the back with the tool it came with ( or I think it might be a standard small Allen wrench). You may want to have a friend help you loosen the arm, while you adjust the monitor and then tighten.They are not super difficult to adjust, though it takes a little effort. However, once properly adjusted and tightened, they are great. I have two of them on my desk and have sold and set up lots of them for customers.

If by "arm pin" you are referring to the tilt adjustment bolt in the middle of the VESA plate, it would be easiest to adjust before mounting the monitor. It could be done afterward with an open box wrench. Other than that, there shouldn't be any disassembly of the product.

No, it would be way to difficult to adjust it with the monitor and keyboard on it. In fact, it was hard setting it up and getting is so that it isn't crooked. However, I do like mine. It will shake if I am typing fast and my mouse will fall off (from the vibration). However this set-up is cheaper than other models and it does the job.

They're very adjustable, which is nice, but it's kind of always a wrestling match getting them right into position. Every time I move them in one direction, something ends up loosening up or something in another direction. Once they're in position, it's fine, it's just a bit of a struggle getting them just right. That being said, they definitely can hang out at basically any point in the arm's vertical range without sagging or whatever, once you get all the joints tightened.

You are correct - rotating the arms forward will bring them closer. I'm using 2 X 24" monitors and they're perfectly aligned, almost like using a 48" screen. Highly recommend this product.

There is a wrist joint that allows that much rotation, though there might be positions you could get the arm into where perhaps the arm itself was getting in the way of a full 180 degrees of swing of the screen unit. It would depend on the size of the monitor somewhat and on how far out from the wall the arm was extended, but I think the basic answer is yes.

I believe if you tighten the bolts securely, the arm will not move freely. But suggest you check with the manufacturer to be certain

Not sure which 2 arms you are referring to?But my guess is you only have 2 monitor and don't need the other set.In that case.. yesthe arms are slide into the vertical bar.

It's the height of the arms that may cause a difficulty. My computer desk is at the right height to work on, but the chair arms won't quite fit under it if I have the chair near enough & high enough to be comfortable. It's no big deal, but just means adjusting to sitting slightly away from the desk and the chair can't be moved under it when not in use.

No, it's not really designed to move after you have set up the 3 monitors. You can tilt them up toward you a little, but that would be the extent, but even that isn't very good if you intend to stand.

Maybe. There is a tendency for the tray to tip forward. If you mount the monitor so that the center of gravity is close to the pivot point you may be OK, especially if you really tighten the pivot bolt, but then you will not be able to adjust the angle without loosening the bolt. If you use a couple of strips of Velcro tape you should be able to prevent if from falling off.

pretty easy. You can slide the arms up or down if you move the brackets down. If you want a min height just set the bracket on the bar. You don't have to mess with screws the weight of the monitors lock it in place pretty solid. Hope this helps, it's a good buy.

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.
