Product Information
Full details
The Ergotron MX Desk Mount LCD Arm is designed for professionals and individuals seeking to optimize their workspace ergonomics and reclaim desk space. Its primary benefit is providing extensive adjustability for mid-size monitors and all-in-one computers, significantly reducing eye, neck, and back strain. A potential caveat is its weight capacity, which is limited to 13.6 kg (30 lbs), meaning it's not suitable for extremely heavy displays. Key features include a robust desk clamp or grommet mount, effortless motion with patented CF technology, 5 inches of height adjustment, and integrated cable management for a clean setup.

Troubleshooting
Monitor arm is too stiff or too loose.
Adjust the tension using the appropriate screws on the arm mechanism. Consult the manual for specific screw locations for your model. Ensure the monitor's weight is within the supported range.
Monitor droops after installation.
This indicates the tension is not set correctly for the monitor's weight. Increase the tension on the main arm adjustment points. Refer to the manual for precise instructions.
Cannot achieve desired height or extension.
Verify that the monitor's weight is within the specified capacity (13.6 kg / 30 lbs). Ensure all locking mechanisms or bolts are fully released and that you are utilizing the full range of motion as designed.
Desk clamp or grommet mount is unstable.
Ensure the clamp is tightened securely to the desk edge or that the grommet mount bolts are firmly secured. Check that the desk surface is solid and not compromised. Do not overtighten if it risks damaging the desk.
Screen rotation is difficult.
Check if there are any obstructions or if the tilt tension needs adjustment. Sometimes, slightly loosening the tilt screws can improve rotation smoothness, but ensure it doesn't compromise the tilt stability.
