Review

My LX arm has survived two apartment moves and countless monitor swaps, and it still feels brand new. The polished aluminum arm easily supports my 32-inch 4K display without sagging, and the spring tension adjustments let me dial in the exact counterbalance so the monitor floats with two fingers. I routinely pivot the screen vertical for code reviews, swing it out for pair programming, or shove it back to free desk space—every hinge still moves smoothly with zero wobble. Installation took about 15 minutes with the included clamp, and the built-in cable channel keeps my USB-C and power leads hidden. It’s a premium arm and you need clearance behind the desk, but the stability and flexibility have made it the best ergonomic upgrade in my office.

✓ Pros

  • Gas-spring arm holds 25 lb panels without sag
  • Smooth 360° rotation and generous reach for portrait or sharing
  • Easy tension adjustment and on-board cable management
  • Clamp and grommet mounting options included

✗ Cons

  • Premium price versus fixed stands
  • Needs a couple inches of clearance behind the desk for full sweep
