You can also move your arm side-to-side to share content with co-workers or clients. Adjustable arms can be great additions to sit-stand solutions so that you can…

When purchasing a monitor arm, there’s a wide variety of components to think about: number of monitors, mounting options, adjustments, budget, weight requirements, etc. Most of the time, maximum weight requirements have more influence over a purchasing decision because you want to ensure that your monitor will be supported. But in fact, minimum weight requirements are just as important. The average weight of modern computer monitors is less than 10 lbs, and most are about 5 lbs. (Unless of course…
