Need a monitor stand - any suggestions?

Marmotta · 7 Sep 2008 at 17:51

I'm after a monitor stand that will easily rotate 180 degrees, so that I can get it to face my chair when I'm browsing the net, working, etc and face my bed when I watch TV or videos. I've never looked for one before, so I'm not sure what to get or even what brands to look out for :confused:

- I'm not looking for anything that requires mounting, just a functional stand. Also, my monitor is a 24" FP241W, which are pretty hefty, so weight might be something worth taking into consideration.

Thanks in advance for any advice

The only that I can think of with that kind of feature would be a pole mounted arm - have a look at what ergotron have on offer.

Whenever someone asks for a mount, I always suggest Ergotron, because they have always been good quality in my experience.
You may be able to use this depending on how heavy your 24" is.
If not this should be ok.

The second one looks like it would do the trick

It's also the only desk mountable one Ergotron recommend for 23"+ monitors - I think the screen is aroun 10kgs, so it should be fine.

They don't come cheap mind, but it has to be better than shifting the monitor (the current stand is ridiculously heavy as well) about all the time :cool:

ergotron +1 and agreed they are way overpriced for what they are.

The desk stand will hold the BenQ but the LX or neoflex arms are a no go, I know because I tried!

Well, I'm downgrading my PC/home cinema setup at the moment, so I suppose I could use the savings on one.

You can try HERE they have an extra heavy duty one that will take up to 14 KG`s.
You can bet it aint gonna be cheap though.
