Ergotron LX

9.2Our number one pick.

The Ergotron LX is the monitor arm to beat, with smooth, precise gas-spring movement, a rock-solid build and a 10-year warranty that justifies the price. It holds position perfectly and adjusts with a fingertip, making it the safe choice for almost any monitor up to 34 inches.

Stability: 9.4Adjustment: 9.2Build: 9.4Value: 8.8
Pros
  • Smooth, precise movement
  • Rock-solid and durable
  • 10-year warranty

Best premium

Herman Miller Ollin

9.0A superb runner-up.

The Ollin is a beautifully minimal arm with clean cable management and Herman Miller's reassuring warranty, ideal if looks matter as much as function. It handles a narrower weight range than the Ergotron, but it is gorgeous and well made.

Stability: 9.0Adjustment: 8.8Build: 9.2Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Minimal, elegant design
  • Tidy cable management
  • Long warranty
Cons
  • Narrower weight range

Best for ultrawide

Ergotron HX

8.9Rounds out our top three.

The HX is built for heavy and ultrawide monitors up to 49 inches, with a beefy arm and high weight capacity that lesser arms cannot match. It is large and expensive, but for big panels it is the reliable choice.

Stability: 9.4Adjustment: 9.0Build: 9.2Value: 8.2
Pros
  • Handles heavy ultrawides
  • Very high weight capacity
  • Stable
Cons
  • Large and expensive
  • Overkill for small monitors

Best dual

Ergotron LX Dual

8.8A standout in the upper half.

The LX Dual mounts two monitors on a single sturdy base with the same smooth Ergotron movement, perfect for productivity setups. Both arms share one mount, so very large dual monitors can be a squeeze, but for typical 27-inch pairs it is excellent.

Stability: 9.0Adjustment: 9.0Build: 9.2Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Two monitors, one base
  • Smooth Ergotron movement
  • Durable
Cons
  • Tight for very large pairs
  • Pricey
Check price on Amazon≈ £320

Best mid-range

Fully Jarvis Monitor Arm

8.6A well-rounded mid-table pick.

The Jarvis arm offers smooth gas-spring adjustment and a solid build at a more accessible price than Ergotron, a great mid-range pick. It is not quite as refined, but it holds position well and looks tidy.

Stability: 8.6Adjustment: 8.6Build: 8.6Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Smooth adjustment
  • Solid for the price
  • Tidy design
Cons
  • Less refined than Ergotron
  • Shorter warranty

Best budget

North Bayou F80

8.5Great value in the middle of the pack.

The North Bayou F80 is the budget hero, a gas-spring arm that performs far above its tiny price for everyday monitors. It is less premium and the range is limited, but for the money it is astonishing value.

Pros
  • Incredible value
  • Decent gas-spring movement
  • Easy to fit
Cons
  • Less premium feel

Best for Magnus desks

Secretlab Magnus Arm

8.5A dependable pick if the price is right.

The Magnus Arm integrates magnetically with Secretlab's Magnus desks for a seamless, cable-tidy setup, and works on other desks too. It is pricey and best within the Magnus ecosystem, but the integration is slick.

Stability: 8.6Adjustment: 8.4Build: 8.8Value: 8.2
Pros
  • Seamless Magnus integration
  • Tidy cable routing
  • Sturdy
Cons
  • Best with Magnus desks

Best value

Amazon Basics Single Arm

8.4Solid, if outshone by pricier rivals.

The Amazon Basics arm is a no-frills, dependable gas-spring mount that does the job for typical monitors at a low price, often an Ergotron lookalike. It lacks premium polish, but it is reliable value.

Pros
  • Reliable and cheap
  • Decent movement
  • Easy to find
Cons
  • Basic finish
  • Average cable management

Best dual value

Huanuo Dual Arm

8.3A budget-friendly option worth a look.

The Huanuo Dual Arm puts two monitors on one base for a bargain price, ideal for a budget productivity setup. Movement is a little stiffer than premium arms, but for the money two-monitor mounting is great value.

Stability: 8.2Adjustment: 8.2Build: 8.0Value: 9.2
Pros
  • Two monitors cheaply
  • Decent stability
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Stiffer movement
  • Basic build
