I’ve had this mount for about 3 days, and there’s a few things I need to let future buyers know. Number one, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Number two, don’t read too much into the bad reviews, and here’s why. Some reviews complain that their monitor wont stay up, or wont hold the tilt. The hydraulic is faulty, the instructions are not clear, or the screen rotation is off by 3 degrees or so. Here are my finds so far.
-If you have the appropriate weighted monitor, this thing should work flawlessly (with the exception of actual manufacture defects that may or may not occur).
-The head of the mount does rotate, and is not fixed.
-The cable management is flawless so long as you give yourself enough length of cable for the mount to flex and move without breaking a cable.
-Adjusting the actuation of the arm is not what it seems for the top half of the mount. I did not RTFM when adjusting weight, and actually went the wrong way, and had consult the manual provided. When it comes to the hydraulic adjustment of the arm, lefty tighty, righty loosey.
-Above all, make sure you have/get a monitor with a VESA MOUNT. If you don’t have a monitor with a VESA mount, don’t worry too much. There are adapters you can get for your particular monitor.
FINAL VERDICT SO FAR:
You get what is advertised, and nothing less. READ the instructions provided, and you should be fine. This thing supports my ASUS TUF Gaming monitor 27′ curved display just fine. Only time will tell if this mount will hold its value over time.
-One last side note that I’ve noticed. when choosing your monitor, companies don’t advertise the weight of JUST the monitor. So if you’re worried that the monitor you want may be on the edge of too heavy, the stand equipment being removed will more then likely cut the weight down by at least a quarter, if not half.
Pros: works as advertised and fits my needs.
Cons: Bad reviewers that don’t know what TH they’re doing or talking about.
