What is Reddit's opinion of Loctek Dual Monitor Arm - Adjustable Gas Spring Desk Mount for 10 to 27 inch VESA Compatible Screens, Full Motion Monitor Stand with C clamp and Grommet Base D5D?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Don’t have one to sell but I’ve been using this one for years and it’s been great:

Loctek Dual Monitor Arm - Adjustable Gas Spring Desk Mount for 10 to 27 inch VESA Compatible Screens, Full Motion Monitor Stand with C clamp and Grommet Base D5D https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00VHN8DPI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NSBWPQSNAG0X2AZ40C10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I can help with my experience.

I have this same monitor and 6 months ago I bought this monitor arm from Amazon. Fits it great. Set up was easy and have been content with it.

There is a coupon for 20% off for this one. I’ve got it set up holding an Alienware 15r4 laptop and a Surface Pro 2017. For the price, it’s high quality: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00VHN8DPI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_u5TWFb423K4NC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have something similar: a laptop and PC with a dual monitor setup. I share my peripherals between the two using a USB switch.

Buying two arms doesn’t make a lot of sense if you’re trying to save space. I have this dual arm and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VHN8DPI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

IMO, arms are great even beyond saving space. They provide much greater flexibility than most stands, and enable portrait orientation if your stand doesn’t allow it, which is great for a secondary display.

Thanks for the input! If you weren't to go cheap, did you have another that you were looking at? Maybe mid-range?

Edit: I am maybe looking at this brand https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VHN8DPI/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1JV95TU0041V3

Need a dual monitor mount for XL2411Z and S2716DG

Anyone use the Loctek D5D or any recommendations in Canada?

Loctek Gas Spring Dual Arm. It does pretty well at holding my two 27' monitors. Although I know that it's the top of the threshold of what it can hold, I do wish I had a bit more wiggle room to make my right monitor curve in a bit more.

I imagine if you had something a bit smaller, it would be extremely versatile.

IMO this is the best dual arm. Just set mine up. I had a single ergotron and it cost more than this dual arm.

Yea I own a IKEA Bekant (RIP Galant) and that thing fits perfectly sturdy. Pretty easy to install and easily adjustable for your height and positioning. However, it is difficult to adjust height after monitors are attached.

I just couldn't justify spending $100-200+ on a mount when this one does everything I need just fine. If you need one that can be easily adjustable constantly in position, angle, AND height you may want to look at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Loctek-Spring-Mounts-Monitor-D5D/dp/B00VHN8DPI.

Why you like the system to be pole-mounted? I think that kind of system is not very user friendly comparing to gas spring monitor mounts

No they are just hiding some cables ;)

Both monitor and Vertical Dock are held up by a Loctek D5D dual VESA arm

Hi, you can start with something like:

• Locktek D5D dual VESA arm
• Amazon Basics universal Laptop VESA platform

In the future, you can always upgrade to a drop-in vertical docking rig that supports rotating to landscape mode as well.

Cheers,

Dan

I've had this one for years with no complaints. I use two 24" but it supports 27".

Hi, the vertical stands for laptops are OK, but just OK. There are two key drawbacks preventing us from recommending these to our customers:

• heat may not be allowed to escape as well so the CPU/GPU may throttle slightly during heavier workloads
• you'll no longer be able to use the screen which is the best part about the Surface Laptop - why waste that screen?

If you have the budget, you may want to look into a dual VESA monitor mount to get both the LG ultrawide and the Surface off the desk and mounted at a more ergonomic eye-level. We recommend the Locktek D5D gas adjustable dual arm https://www.amazon.com/Loctek-D5D-Monitor-Mounts-Monitors/dp/B00VHN8DPI which will clamp securely around the edge of your desk and is well-tuned for the weight of a 29" monitor and a laptop. Then add a tray like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Notebook-Arm-Mount-Tray/dp/B010QZD6I6.

Cheers,

Dan

I have this one connected to two 24”: Loctek Dual Monitor Arm Desk Monitor Mounts Fits 10"-27" Monitors, Gas Spring LCD Arm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VHN8DPI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3pLzAb8BCD7JR

Works great.

As for your machine, you can build quite the beauty with that much cash.

Edit: I missed a critical part of your post, you want a desk that goes up and down. I thought you wanted to spend $3k on a full computer build, which I tossed together:

Here it is

edit: wait, holy shit it's $13 dollars cheaper than yesterday??

edit2: ok, i get it. this may have not been my smartest purchase. If you buy it through amazon warehouse deals it starts out at $79.70, but if you buy it through a third party its only $66.99. Since I used the promo code it was still only $69.70 (with tax $74.58). here's the link to view your different options

Buy another monitor thats the same as you have, then go on amazon and get a dual monitor stand. ex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VHN8DPI?psc=1

Update: Ended up going with a the refurb'd Acer XB241H for $315 shipped (w/coupon code). Also decided to ~~ditch~~ sell/giveaway my 2 old monitors (3-4 year old Acer G235Hs, CFL lol) and grabbed a refurb'd KN242HYL (24" 1080p IPS panel) for $92 shipped (coupon also applied to this one) to take over secondary duties.

Next step is to get some decent VESA mounts so I can stop using old blank CD/DVD spindles as stands.

I imagine you're looking for something like this, which I can't speak for, but I have this and a single-arm version of this. Assuming realtime height adjustment isn't required these are great for the money. Everything else can be adjusted fairly smoothly without tools.

I just set this up. Love it. Cheaper than most models. It has a gas spring as well.

What's the mounting hole dimension of your monitor? I bought a Loctek D5D on Amazon. The VESA size is 75mm*75mm/100mm*100mm. It works great and it's not expensive.
