Description
With M8, Humanscale has created a stylish, sleek, good looking monitor arm. But do not be fooled by its looks. With an impressive range of weight capacity 8-40 lbs, it displays functional excellence in the form of smooth articulation and easy adjustment. Most competitors carry monitors in a weight range of not more than 15-20 lbs but M8’s internal counterbalance and friction axles together adapt easily to any monitor, be it 8 lbs or 40 lbs. The high weight capacity of M8 also accommodates dual monitors weighing up to 20 lbs each (with a crossbar support).
M8 has a modular design with interchangeable links. Links are extension arm components of an arm available in a wide variety for M8 – fixed straight, fixed angled, dynamic link or swap the link for changing needs of a workplace.
M8 was created by the Humanscale Design Studio. Not only does its strength and flexibility make it ideal for a constantly evolving workplace but it is compatible with any monitor available in the market today.

Compatibility- Most monitors in the market today can be carried by the M8 monitor arm.

Please note that you can also convert your existing M8 monitor arm to a dual monitor arm just by buying a crossbar.
