There are 4 ways to install the computer screen stand. The previous article introduced the most common clip-on and perforated screen stand products , which are enough to be installed on 70% of the desktops in the market. But it is not suitable if your table just cannot drill holes, is too thick, or has a glass table top. The biggest feature of the wall-mounted and self-standing monitor brackets introduced in this article is that they can be installed in any desktop space without choosing a desk at all. The ULTRARM editorial team will focus on the number of screens that the product can support, and with the type of bracket arm, compile a list of the most common computer screen wall mounts and self-standing screen brackets on the market, allowing you to easily find the most suitable screen setting solution.

The products listed in this article can support the installation of up to 6 screens, and the corresponding products can be quickly found through the estimated number of screens to be installed. Before starting the introduction, please refer to the 5 basics when purchasing a monitor stand:

1. VESA mounting standard interface

The global screen or TV installation interface is formulated by the VESA Association. When designing the mechanism, manufacturers around the world will reserve 4 screw holes arranged in a square at the center of gravity on the back of the screen housing. The most common sizes for monitor mounts are 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounts. The quickest way to confirm whether the monitor is VESA compliant is to check if there are 4 screw holes on the case on the back of the monitor.

2. Measure the screen size correctly

Please add border thickness to screen width and height. When the industry marks the size of the screen or TV, it usually writes the diagonal length of the "panel", excluding the frame. The same 32 -inch screen, the actual screen width and height may be different.

3. Confirm the weight of the screen

The base, tilting mechanism, and arms of the screen stand all have a weight limit. When purchasing, it is recommended to consider a product with a load capacity that is 2 to 3 kg heavier than the screen. In addition to safety considerations, it can also prolong the service life of the screen stand.

4. Advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted installation

After drilling holes on the wall, lock the base to completely release the space occupied by the screen base on the desktop. Disadvantages : Causes permanent damage to the wall.

5. Advantages and disadvantages of self-standing installation

Like the stand provided by the original screen factory, it can be placed directly on the desktop, and it is suitable for almost all types of desktops. Cons: The screen has a small adjustable range and takes up a lot of desktop space.

Armless Screen Stand

Only provide Y-axis vertical movement space, the screen will be arranged vertically along the pole, suitable for users who have limited desktop space but need to browse more information at the same time, the overall adjustability of the screen stand without arms is low, and when the pole is higher , the greater the weight of the resulting lever, it is not suitable for installing large screens.

Articulated arm monitor stand

At the same time, it provides a 2D moving space of the X+Y axis, extending left and right to add more arrangements and combinations, greatly improving the flexibility and practicability of settings. However, the articulated arm only has an extension function and cannot be aligned with screens of different brands/sizes. Even if the screens of the same model are used, the screens may not be aligned due to different lever weights.

Pneumatic Arm Monitor Mount

The screen can be adjusted freely in the 3-dimensional space, and the weight of the screen can be balanced by the force generated by the air pressure mechanism, and the screen can be easily moved to the ideal position. In addition to perfectly solving the problem of misalignment of different types of screens, the convenience of adjusting the height of the screen with one hand keeps the screen in the best line of sight. It is suitable for new large-size ultra-wide curved screens.

Reminder : The product models listed in this article are only for easy identification of product types, not absolutely suitable for your working environment and screen. By using 2 types of screen brackets together, more screen configuration requirements can be met. For example : use 2 types of dual monitor stand without extension arms to achieve a working environment with 4 monitors.

Computer Monitor Wall Mount Selection Guide

When purchasing a computer monitor wall mount, in addition to making sure that the weight, size and VESA interface of the monitor meet the product specifications, it is not easy to remove the base after it is locked on the wall, so three issues must be carefully considered:

1. Wall material

The base of the common computer monitor wall mount on the market is fixed by 2 to 3 sets of plastic geckos and screws. The overall load capacity of the base is about 50 kg (monitor + wall mount). It is suitable for wooden walls, brick walls and cement walls.

2. Table Depth

Affects the comfort of viewing the screen. The recommended distance is the length of the arm extension. The measurement method is to extend the arm forward after sitting down, and the middle finger just touches the screen, which is the most ergonomic screen placement. If the desktop is deep, it is recommended to choose a joint or pneumatic arm style with the function of extending the screen.

3. Screen position adjustment

The reason for choosing to upgrade the screen stand is not only to obtain a more spacious and tidy desktop space, but also to raise the screen and make the working environment more comfortable. Due to the difficulty in moving the wall-mounted base, the air-pressure arm style is used to facilitate the adjustment of the screen position at any time, and to choose the installation position of the base more flexibly.

Summary of purchase of computer screen wall mount

Due to the influence of usage habits, there are fewer product types of wall-mounted computer monitor brackets. If you need to combine more than one screen, you need to use multiple product combinations to achieve it. Although there are fewer types of products, it is more and more common to install wall-mounted products in personal rooms. Through the functions of height adjustment and horizontal rotation, the screen that was originally used on the desktop can be turned to face the bed for entertainment when needed. One screen Achieve two purposes at the same time, very convenient and save space.

Free Standing Monitor Stand Selection Guide

The same design as the bracket provided by the original screen factory, the self-supporting screen bracket can be used directly instead of the original bracket regardless of the type of table. When choosing a suitable product, in addition to paying attention to the weight and size of the screen and whether the VESA interface conforms to the specifications of the self-supporting screen stand, because of the nature of the stand base, you need to pay attention to 3 reminders when using it:

1. When moving the screen, you need to fix the base by hand

Unlike the other three installation methods, which force the base to be fixed to the desktop (wall), the self-supporting base only relies on the weight and center of gravity to balance the weight of multiple screens to keep the stand stable.

2. Maintain the balance of the left and right screens

When using the articulated arm to extend the screen to the left and right, please use a screen of the same brand, size and weight first to maintain high stability and avoid the problem of height asymmetry between the left and right screens.

3. Avoid Hyperextending Your Arms

Excessive extension resulting in a shifted center of gravity increases the risk of the monitor stand tipping over. Although the flexibility of using a self-standing screen stand at a fixed point is lower than other installation methods, the self-standing base has the highest adaptability to placement, can be used on any flat ground or desktop, and is quite convenient to move.

When purchasing armless or articulated arms, it is recommended to install screens of the same model, except that the specifications of the screen and bracket can match. When actually testing the air pressure arm screen mounts at different prices, the user experience is obviously different. Although the specifications or carrying weight are close, the touch, smoothness, and stability in actual use can only be experienced through personal use. An old saying goes:
