I wasn't sure that the table I currently use as a work desk was suitable for use with the more common desk-mounted arms, and since I have a concrete wall and am skilled with tools, I decided that a wall mount would be a better choice for me.I did research the available options form several brands. I found that while there were several cheaper products, many of them looked the same, and were of unknown , unsupported brands, and had not enough users opinions on the web. There were some with at least a web site, but that didn't even have installation instructions. All of them were discarded from my choices. Some competing products were maybe good enough, but the installation process was too complicated or even risky for my monitors and would requiere at least two people to do. FInally, most of them are black, with a bulky unsightly appearance.In the end, I choosed this Vivo product which checked the right boxes: Known supported brand, with good comments on web forums. The web site is easy to navigate, provides all types of information, specifications, manuals, photos and videos. Installation to the wall was effortless, mounting the monitor to the arm so well thought and easy that me alone could do it without any help. The arm is white and sleek so is not a sore to the eyes (which I love). And while the price is not the lowest, is much better than the top of the line offerings, and well worth it in my opinion.All the load bearing pieces are metal and sturdy, with a great white paint finish. Some other ornamental pieces (like the cable organizers) are white plastic.The product came with real, printed instructions, with both clear text and graphics (Not the type with only images that are supposed to be understandable to anyone in any language, and that usually are confusing and useless).The web site also has those instructions as well as instructional videos, which is very handy.I actually bought two arms, to have my work laptop in the middle and two monitors on each side. Strangely enough, one arm came with instructions dated August 31 2023, while the second came with instructions dated August 21 2024. The older ones are missing a very important step regarding the Tilt Joint that could damage some monitors, so be sure to use the latest instructions. They can also be downloaded from Vivo web site. Be sure to use the latest ones!Even though the instructions were clear on HOW to mount the arm, there were no suggestions on WHERE to mount it. I do know that there are many use cases that might make impossible to have just a single document to cover them all. But I believe some common uses would be easy to document. I had to fiddle with the un-mounted arm for several minutes until I settled on a height and offset for the mounting base. Fortunately it worked! (There is a problem with the lack of instructions of most of the arms I researched, excpept for the leading one which do provide some ergonomic suggestions. I suggest you check those out as an aid for the installation of this arm).So far the product is performing as intended, but it's been only a few days. If anything arises I will update this review.

Very solid. I bought two of these for my MSI monitors (34" and 32"). The wall mounts are Installed in my ICF basement. The only thing I would suggest is getting heavier drywall anchors. I built a back plate out of 3/4" plywood and secured the wall mount directly onto it. It's been holding solid. I tightened the spring up so my monitors don't droop. IF YOU HAVE A CURVED MONITOR YOU WILL NEED THE MOUNTING SCREWS THAT COME WITH YOUR MONITOR TO ATTACH IT TO ANY MOUNT!! Don't go to high with your wall mount. The monitor sits pretty high compared to where your desk is

An excellently weighted arm. Still tuning the setup and the angles of the screen but it has delivered what I was looking for with a clean near cable free desk. Minor consideration would be to provide advice on mounting locations to know how high the monitor might sit over a desk. I made a mistake as to which side of the screen I mounted the bracket, so unfortunately it is on show. My failings aside, I highly recommend this to others.

Eu tinha solicitado a devolução porque eu não consegui instalar seguindo as instruções do manual que veio com o produto. No entanto, eu achei a nova versão do manual no site do fabricante e finalmente consegui instalar e pude confirmar que a qualidade é realmente muito boa, deu tudo certo.
