Monitor arm for LG 34GN850?

exhashdotdot · 6 Sep 2021 at 13:35

Hello,

I just received my LG 34GN850. It's absolutely awesome and I'm super happy to have a nice sample.

The only problem is my damn Invision monitor arm doesn't actually fit it; the VESA bracket is too big to fit inside the LG's slot/socket.

Does anyone who has this monitor have a recommendation for the monitor arm they're using with it? It's annoying but what can you do?

Thank you

Would spacers not work??

I hope so because I've just bought some!

Should be okay. I use them myself. Just need to make sure you have long enough screws.

Okay, so what I did was buy a load of washers and some screws from Screwfix and unfortunately, the Invision MX150 monitor arm couldn't support the weight of the monitor (though my hack job worked surprisingly well).

So in the end, I've ordered an Ergotron LX and an Invision MX450 (the latter being half the price). So we'll see which one works best.

What worked best? And how does it look

The Invision MX450 was so good that it blows my mind that people actually spend over twice as much for the Ergotron. The latter is definitely a nice, attractive piece of kit but that's stuff I don't care about. The MX450 is extremely sturdy, easy to use and I even removed the USB port because it wasn't necessary.

So the Invision MX450?

And that's for a 34"?

Yup, it's a Invision MX450 and it's a 34" ultrawide.

@exhashdotdot
Thanks again, arrived today and it seems decent. Mines only a 27" so it's dead sturdy.
