There are 4 ways to install computer screen stands. The previous article introduced the most common desktop-type and perforated screen stand products , which are enough to be installed on 70% of desktops on the market. But if your table just can't drill holes, is too thick, or has a glass top, it won't work. The biggest feature of the wall-mounted and self-standing screen brackets introduced in this article is that they can be installed in any desktop space, regardless of the desk. The ULTRARM editorial team will focus on the number of screens the product can support and the type of stand arm to compile a list of the most common computer screen wall mounts and self-standing screen stand products on the market, allowing you to easily find the most suitable screen setup solution.

The products listed in this article can support the installation of up to 6 screens. You can quickly find the corresponding product based on the estimated number of screens installed. Before we start, please read the 5 basic things to know when buying a screen stand:

1. VESA installation standard interface

The VESA Association has developed a universal screen or TV installation interface. During the structural design, manufacturers around the world will reserve 4 square screw holes at the center of gravity on the back of the screen casing. The most common specifications for screen mounts are 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting interfaces. The quickest way to confirm whether the screen complies with the VESA standard is to check whether there are 4 screw holes on the chassis on the back of the screen.

2. Measure the screen size correctly

Please add border thickness to screen width and height. When manufacturers mark the size of a screen or TV, they usually write the diagonal length of the "panel", excluding the frame. It is also a 32- inch screen, the actual screen width and height may be different.

3. Confirm screen weight

The base, tilt mechanism and arms of the screen stand all have weight limits. When purchasing, it is recommended to consider a product with a weight that is 2 to 3 kilograms heavier than the screen. In addition to safety considerations, it can also extend the service life of the screen stand.

4. Advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted installation

Drill holes in the wall and lock the base, completely freeing up the space originally occupied by the screen base on the desktop. Disadvantages : Causes permanent damage to the wall.

5. Advantages and disadvantages of free-standing installation

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

Armless screen stand

It only provides Y-axis vertical movement space, and the screens will be arranged vertically upward along the pole. It is suitable for users with limited desktop space but who need to browse more information at the same time. The overall adjustability of the screen stand without arms is low, and the higher the pole, the better. , the greater the weight of the lever produced, it is not suitable for installing large screens.

Articulated arm screen stand

At the same time, it provides 2D movement space in the X+Y axis, extending left and right to add more permutations and combinations, greatly improving the flexibility and practicality of the setting. However, the joint arm only has an extension function and cannot align screens of different brands/sizes. Even if the same model of screen is used, the screen may not be aligned due to different lever weights.

Pneumatic arm screen mount

The screen can be adjusted arbitrarily in the three-dimensional space, and the force generated by the air pressure mechanism is used to balance the weight of the screen, making it easy to move the screen to the ideal position. In addition to perfectly solving the problem of misalignment of screens of different models, the convenience of adjusting the screen height with one hand keeps the screen in the best viewing range, and is suitable for new large-sized and ultra-wide curved screens.

Small reminder : The product models listed in this article are only for easy identification of product types and are not absolutely suitable for your work environment and screen. By using two types of screen stands together, more screen configuration needs can be achieved. For example : Use 2 dual-screen stands without extension arms to achieve a 4- screen working environment.

Computer monitor wall mount buying guide

When purchasing a computer monitor wall mount, in addition to making sure that the weight, size and VESA interface of the screen meet the product specifications, you must also carefully consider three issues since the base is difficult to remove after being locked on the wall:

1. Wall material

The common computer monitor wall mount base on the market is fixed by 2 to 3 sets of plastic hangers and screws. The entire base has a load-bearing capacity of about 50 kilograms (screen + wall mount) and is suitable for wooden walls, brick walls and cement walls.

2. Desktop depth

It affects the comfort of viewing the screen. The recommended distance is the length of the extended arm. The measurement method is to sit down, extend the arm forward, 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 make the screen higher and make the working environment more comfortable. Due to the difficulty of moving the wall-mounted base, the pneumatic arm style is used to facilitate the adjustment of the screen position at any time and to more flexibly choose the installation location of the base.

Summary of purchasing computer monitor wall mounts

Due to the influence of usage habits, there are fewer product types of wall-mounted computer screen brackets. If you need more screen combinations, you need to use multiple product combinations to achieve it. Although there are fewer types of products, wall-mounted products are more and more commonly installed in personal rooms. Through the height-adjustable and horizontal rotation functions, the screen originally used on the desktop can be turned to face the bed for entertainment purposes when needed. The screen serves two purposes at the same time, which is very convenient and space-saving.

Self-Standing Screen Stand Buying Guide

The same design as the stand provided by the original screen manufacturer, the self-standing screen stand can be used directly in place of the original stand regardless of the type of table. When choosing the right product, in addition to paying attention to the weight and size of the screen and whether the VESA interface meets the specifications of a self-standing screen stand, due to the nature of the stand base, you need to pay attention to three reminders when using it:

1. When moving the screen, you need to fix the base with your hands

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

2. Maintain balance between left and right screens

When using a joint arm to extend the screen to the left and right, please give priority to using screens of the same brand, size and weight to maintain higher stability and avoid the problem of height asymmetry between the left and right screens.

3. Avoid overextending your arms

Excessive extension causes the center of gravity to shift and increase the risk of the screen stand tipping over. Although the flexibility of using a self-standing screen stand at a fixed point is lower than that of other installation methods, the self-standing base has the highest placement flexibility and can be used on any flat ground or desktop, and is very convenient to move.

Conclusion:

When purchasing an armless or articulated arm, in addition to matching the specifications of the screen and bracket, it is recommended to install the same model of screen. When actually testing air pressure arm screen mounts at different price points, the difference in usage experience was clearly felt. Although the specifications or load-bearing weight are similar, the actual touch, smoothness, and stability can only be experienced through personal use. As the old saying goes:
