How To Choose a Monitor Holder
A monitor holder is an arm or bracket designed to securely hold up a computer monitor or laptop, keyboard, mouse, or other monitor screen to avoid hand movements causing discomfort to the eyes. Monitor stand and monitor mount are other commonly known terms for this item. This article provides some simple facts to review to assist in determining which type is appropriate for your needs. It also provides some guidelines on how to purchase a suitable one. Monitor arms come in various lengths, depending on how much monitor you have to accommodate; the longer the arms, the more room they will allow for the placement of additional monitors.
The weight of the monitor mount will ultimately depend on the amount of weight the user is willing to place on it. Monitor arms should be fairly lightweight to prevent sagging issues from developing as a result of frequent usage. Many computer users choose a monitor arm that attaches to a bracket on the wall, or at the very least, a swivel arm. This allows the user to adjust the monitor to a position that is comfortable while working, without having to worry about the angle of the arm changing with any movements made.
The mount should be made of a sturdy material that does not become wobbly after only a few months use. The holder should be constructed of a sturdy metal, like stainless steel, because a weaker material may develop sharp edges, which are not only unsightly, but may result in the screen becoming broken when the user drops their monitor. In addition, the arm of the monitor should be made of a sturdy material, such as plastic, because if the plastic is made of a lower grade, the base of the holder will become damaged sooner, before any protection from the monitor is provided.
It is important to review the mount for compatibility before purchasing. Although most monitor arms can attach to any standard VGA monitor, some of the more expensive monitors require a specific format to attach to the mount. A user looking for a monitor mount may need to find out the format required by their monitor before they purchase the mount. If the user needs to purchase a monitor mount that is not compatible with the display’s standard, or they simply cannot decide on a mount type, a visit to an electronic store will often allow a user to test a mount on a small piece of computer hardware.
One type of this popular mounting product is the Sandertech 8sinn monitor mounting kit. It has received good reviews from consumers, who find that it provides a firm holding power and can accommodate different-sized monitors. Users also have stated that this particular holder has been very durable and is one of the best holders that they have used. One disadvantage reported by users is the fact that the arm of the unit is not very adjustable, but this is noted by other buyers and most users do not mind this feature. Furthermore, the arm can rotate 180 degrees, which is a great option for those who may need to view different components on either side of the screen.
If a consumer is looking to purchase a monitor mounting product that is durable and offers a good hold, then they should consider purchasing from either the Sandertech or the 8sinn company. Both companies offer a number of different monitor mounting products, and both of them are well known for their quality products. There is often a good selection of products available from either company, and they tend to have a price that is affordable for most consumers. To find the right display holder that will work with their specific needs, a consumer should take a trip to either the local retailer or an online store that sells this specific product type.
