Monitor arm

noobftw · 30 Apr 2016 at 15:06

I am looking for a monitor arm that will allow me to push a monitor back flush against the wall and not 2 foot from the wall, I have minimal space behind my desk and it only has a depth of 60cm. What would be the best monitor arm or method for accomplishing this, thanks in advance :confused:

i have a 27 inch monitor and a 34 inch ultra wide monitor, both are vesa compatible

Am i right in thinking that there is no mount out there that will accommodate both of these on 1 mounting bracket and that i would have to purchase 2 separate due to the size difference?

The mount I currently use gets my monitor to within an inch of the wall which is pretty darned close to flush.
The only caveat is it does not have height adjust but does have all other movements.
It's actually just a mount for a 20-28 inch TV I think.

A personally have a U3415W and U2715H installed on a dual arm Ergotech Freedom arm (essentially buy two separate arms but use only one pole).

The trick to install the monitor close to the wall is to install the pole off centre (to one side of the monitor), and extend the arm to get the monitor in the position that you want.

And no, for Ergotech freedom you don't need two separate versions, only one is fine unless your 34 inch weighs like a TV then you need a HD version.

that would be mighty expensive at £100 a pop

There are cheaper alternatives if you shop around, I'm just using my setup as an example

I have just got a 2nd hand Ergotech LX desk mount. I have seen that it can be used with 2 monitors as the base is a pole.

how many inches would you say the monitor can be pushed back against the wall, that is if your desk is against a wall of course, thanks

My desk is about 2" off the wall. And I would say that its about 6" from the wall. If I had a tap measure I would get the exact distance.

Allcam make duel mounts GSD240 in the desk type. Personally have an ergotron Single wall mount due to needing to take the weight of my asus 27". Pushed back it sits about 2" off the wall.
