How to Install Monitor Arms

Ergonomics is no longer a luxury in the modern workspace; it has become a necessity. The use of a monitor arm is one of the best routes to enhance the ergonomics of the desk. Monitor arms will enable you to optimally position your screen in terms of height, angle, and distance, thereby reducing neck strain, freeing up workstation space, and giving the workstation a clearer, more efficient design.

How to Choose Suitable Monitor Arms

It is necessary to propose the right monitor arm that suits your needs before commencement. A wiser decision implies safety, stability and the best use of it.

1. See Compatibility with Monitors

• VESA Mount Standard: Most monitor arms adhere to the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mount patterns, such as 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm. Ensure your monitor has one of these sizes.
• Weight Capacity: All monitor arm supports a maximum of weight. Check the weight of the monitor (without stand) and make sure that it is within the measured reach of the arm.

2. Find out the Mounting Style

• Clamp Mount: This option clamps onto the edge of your desk, making it best-suited for desks with thick edges that are between 0.4 and 3 inches thick.
• Grommet Mount: goes through a hole in the top of the desk; it's particularly useful when you have some cable holes to use on the desk, or when you want something a touch more permanent.

3. Consider Adjustability Features

• Height Adjustment: This refers to the setting where your monitor is at eye level.
• Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation: Offers versatility for working in various postures and allows for multi-monitor folding.
• Gas Spring vs. Mechanical Arms: The gas spring units permit control that is reported at the level of finger control, whereas the mechanical arms are reported to be cost-effective.

4. Workstation Requirements

Assess the standing room in front of a desk, your sitting position, and determine whether you require a single monitor arm or a dual monitor arm to multitask.

Steps to Install Monitor Arms (Single & Dual)

The following are some of the tools that you might require:

1. Allen keys (usually supplied with the monitor arm)
2. Screwdriver
3. Drill (where the wall mounts are or non-pre-drilled grommet holes)

Step 1: Open the Box and set up the Organise Components

Unpack all the pieces, screws, washers and tools of the monitor arm. Refer to the installation manual to ensure that all parts are there.

Step 2: Desk or the Wall Configuration

• In the case of clamp mounts, the edges of the desk must be clean, firm, and within the range of thickness that is outlined in the manufacturer's instructions.
• In the case of grommet mounts, find or drill a hole as indicated.
• In case of wall mounts, locate wall studs with the help of a stud finder so that nothing can go wrong.

Step 3: Mount or Fix the Base

• Clamp Mount: Insert the clamp into the preferred position of the desk edge and fasten the bolts to it until it is secure.
• Grommet Mount: Push the mounting bolt through the hole and fasten it on the underside.

Step 4: Build up the Arm

Attach the parts of the arms in the way indicated by the manufacturer. Gas spring arms may require tension adjustment after attaching the monitor.

Step 5: Mount the VESA plate on the Monitor

1. Take down the stand your monitor is on.
2. Adjust the VESA plate over the hole on the back of the monitor.
3. Screw it in with the screws provided, but without over-tightening them.

Step 6: Raise the Monitor to the Arm

When you get the monitor up, slide or clip the VESA plate into the monitor arm. Heavier screens may need two individuals in this step.

Step 7: Change Monitor Position

1. Adjust the height to have the top of your screen at eye level or a little lower.
2. Tilt and swivel to obtain a comfortable viewing angle.
3. When using a dual monitor arm, ensure both monitors are at the same height and angle to reduce neck movement.

Step 8: Take care of the cables

Power and video cables can be run along the arm using the in-built cable management tapes or clips. And not only will they look better, but it will also eliminate possible strain on cables.

Step 9: Test, Tweak and Refine

Place the monitor in multiple locations for easy movement and stability. Tighten or loosen the tension screws if the monitor moves too easily or is difficult to move.

• Full Adjustability: Adjust the tilt, swivel and rotation ease of your monitor seated or standing.
• Gas Spring Technology: Silky-smooth, adjustable to positions effortlessly, and it does not need to be repositioned repeatedly by hand.
• Integrated Cable Management: Your desk is always in its place.
• Simple Assembly: The monitor arm is tension-free and easy to set up, thanks to the clear guidelines and tools provided.
