I did a lot of research going in to this, about $40.00 gets you a monitor arm that rotates and swivels, about $60.00 gets you a monitor arm which has two arms and rotates and swivels, and about $90.00 gets you a monitor arm which is gas spring - i.e. it goes up and down and all the directions you can think of.

I initially was going to go for the Loctek DLB502 because that has many good reviews. When I arrived at PBTech, this was what was on the shelf and it was $4 cheaper anyway, so I went ahead and bought this (after convincing myself it's the same thing as the Loctek DLB502, just a different brand).

I would not change a thing about it. It's amazing. The following is some tips to get the most out of it.

Regarding setting up -- I'm an expert now, but it took some playing around:
- I see another review says "it'd be good if I didn't have to use tools to adjust it", which is wrong.
Each part that rotates has a screw which controls how loose and tight that rotation is (with the exception of the part that rotates the monitor -- that's already set up great). The trick is to find a good amount of tightness for each part, to your liking.

For example, I've got the bottom rotation on pretty tight - I can rotate it if I put a lot of force in to it, but because I don't want that to rotate, it's perfect. Another example: I've got the rest of the rotation parts on a good amount of tightness that I can move everything with an amount of force that I like; e.g. put my screen on 90 degrees? Sure thing, give me one second; raise my screen an inch? sure thing, just a sec.

- When setting up, don't bother to test if each of the parts rotate and go up and down ( the 'gas spring' component' is the one that goes up and down) before you attach your monitor. Attach your monitor to it, and then test each of the parts rotate / go up and down. The reason being, some of the parts use the weight of the monitor to work; for example, the part which rotates your monitor relies on torque (i.e. rotating it with a bigger distance, i.e. with your monitor, means it rotates).

- By all means, practice unscrewing all the parts for fun and have a play, so that you fully understand it, but just note the above.

The title says it all really. I purchased this to mount a new monitor in portrait. I had to mount it in a rather unique position coming off a corner support due to my glass desk however the large range of movement that this arm afforded and the ease of installation made this a breeze!

My husband is a perfectionist so it took quite a bid of fiddling to get the stand and all the cords right (the base of the stand has to be slightly off-center depending on where you want the monitor to sit. But it does the job I wanted it to and makes my desk far more clear than the old stand-on-top-of-printer-paper setup... let's hope I can keep it this clean!

I have additional screen which i convert from home office to TV and movie viewing.
Great range of motion so i can rotate from work mode to relax mode by turning the arm or simple swirling the screen.
The cords feed through the arm as well so the desk looks free of clutter.

You might be bug for installation which requires you have strong arms but once installed it does perfect job and you won't be regret. You might be bug for installation which requires you have strong arms but once installed it does perfect job and you won't be regret.

Awesome monitor arm - great balance, good price - Thanks. Awesome monitor arm - great balance, good price - Thanks.

Easy to setup and use. Prefer one that I don’t have to use tools to adjust but for the price it’s perfect Easy to setup and use. Prefer one that I don’t have to use tools to adjust but for the price it’s perfect

very good design, does as we intend it to. Looks smart and holds the cables nicely in place. Being installed into multiple locations, and is very easy to install. very good design, does as we intend it to. Looks smart and holds the cables nicely in place.

This is great.
I have another stand and it is not very flexible.
But this one is.
Its very strong, and easy to move up and down and sideways etc.
The base does not take up much room on my desk.
And it was very easy to set up - no assembly required.
Nine out of ten. This is great.
