Hi,

I have a 32" monitor and I want to be able to use it in one position for work, another for gaming and another for streaming TV

This means I will need to adjust it up to 3 times a day so I'm wondering these gas monitor stands allow that much constant adjustment, has anyone got something they can recommend where they are constantly adjusting it?

Thanks

I've had an Allcam GSD110 since early 2012 and it's still as good as the day I set it up. It gets messed with roughly 5-8 times a day.
Prices have gone up a bit lately, of course, but I'd still rate it very highly.

I also understand Ergotron have improved their game in recent years, but back then they were utter *****. We had about 50 installed at work and not one of them lasted more than a year.

Thanks thats exactly what I'm interested to hear I will look into Allcam. I'll probably avoid Ergotron because they are pricey but I've read some negative things about them

Got an ErGear monitor arm holding up my G7 32".
Same as you, adjusting 2-4 times a day. Holds well, no complaints

Interesting these are pretty cheap on Amazon

What kind of adjustment are you doing? I'm intending to extend it all the way straight and back to the wall again at least twice a day and then tilt it up and down at least once a day

For me the most important change from G7 original stand was reduced depth. Original needed too much space on the desk, massive butt even tho all the weight is in the front because of curved screen. And I want it as far from me as possible.

I go from the highest position, so that 14" laptop fits under. To lowest, where monitor is almost resting on the desk. Arm against wall, center of mass is close to the clamp all the time.
Fully extended forward still holds, but makes it wobbly.
Tilt I rarely use, it works fine.

I remember needing to adjust all joints to a stiffer setting at first.

Sounds good, looks they're on offer at the moment too and they come white so I'll snap one up, thanks for the detail appreciated sounds like it will do the job
 
There is got to be a reason why Invision and ergotron are so cheap

I'll have a look at the Kensington one too if it's advertised as being able to move it around constantly then that's a good selling point for me
