VESA Desk Mount Recommendations

TNA · 28 Nov 2012 at 16:59

Just the DGM 27" LED IPS 2560x1440 monitor. I have not even turned it on yet. I noticed the stand is competently inefficient for the size. It wobbles like mad. lol. Worried that one day I will bump into my desk by mistake and it will come crashing on to me. This means a new desk mount will be in order.

Can you guys recommend good VESA monitor mount that is under £50? Don't really fancy spending more than that. £20-50 should get something decent I think. Want something sturdy to attach to my desk and be able to move it in most if not all directions ideally.

Cheers

I would like to know this answer as well. I currently have a few earmarked on Ebay for £29.99 but not bought one yet.

Just noticed, one guy has one in the DGM monitors thread. He said he got it from ebay. Hopefully he replies with more information.

I think the dgm is about 10kg , i posted a pic of my mount in the dgm thread, its ok as long as you dont have it fully extended.

Thanks for the reply man. I think the 10kg weight is it including box and stand etc. The net weight is just under 8kg after you remove the stand I believe.

I ordered the same as your one, as I was not convinced by the rest. May have gone for the one sold at ocuk which was just under £50, but the lack of info such as how much weight it can take put me off. Did not fancy paying £20 extra for something that did not look much better.

Ergotron MX are quite well regarded around here. Bit steep at ~£100 though. I think I remember someone talking about a gas operated one being released soon but can't remember who where when.
