Frequently asked questions

Will it fit my monitor?

Most arms support VESA mounts (75×75 or 100×100mm). Check your monitor's VESA pattern and weight — most arms handle 2-8kg.

Can I install it without drilling?

Yes — c-clamp mounts attach to the desk edge with a screw, no drilling. Grommet mounts need an existing cable hole.
