Ergotron Neo Flex Lcd Arm Xt Silver : Dell 2405FPW

Still working on getting them perfectly level, but I'm really happy with the height, they were actually too low before.

Study looks tidy from the front but it actually looks like a small nuke has gone off in here :)

Got to say that I'm super happy with the result, look great IMHO.

I expect pics :) informational threads like this one need plenty of before/after information.

I do stress though that I feel these arms are only "just" suitable for the 2405FPW, their weight and thickness means that the knuckle joints can only just cope.

WAIT!! I think you could just drill a hole in the desk, I'm pretty sure the arm comes with the mountings for this, I can scan the instructions when I get in, some desks come with a hole "pre-drilled" for this kind of thing.

What I did with one of mine that was being a pain (e.g. too loose) was find a washer to go over the hex screw, this applied pressure to the side of the knuckle joint and no more droop ;)

Where are your pics Robert :)

You may find them in your local hardware stores and good choice of diameters is available.

Well as I didn't use the extension bar that came with the arm I just used one of the washer that became "spare" after taking the arm apart.

it really needs to be positioned so the two strips of rubber face the ceiling -

Yep, good point, mine are exactly the same (haven't tried it since the "washer" trick though"), these arms really are at their limit with the 2405FPW as it's heavy and thick!

I have the tools & means to cut the hole

No cutting need, just a decent sized drill bit

this shows taking the desk clamp off and using the grommit (nice cheese) mount, easy as winking ;)

can these be mounted upside down?

Can't see why not, bet that would look cool as well.

Ah! :(

Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained, it's a shame but these arms are really at their limit with the 2405FPW, mine just stay pretty static so they are OK for my requirements.
