Accessorio pratico e semplice da usare, permette di avere una scrivania in ordine con poca spesa, se cercate un braccio che possa alzare e abbassare ilMonitor a vs piacimento questo è poco funzionale. Ho agganciato un monitor 27 su in scrivania ikea spessa 15mm e regge molto bene. Consiglio a chi vuole spendere il giusto.

This 16-inch-tall arm is great for my 27-inch Acer Nitro XV272U monitor. It is sturdy and doesn’t wobble as much for me when fully extended as the cheaper ones I’ve tried before. Theres no bend on the pole and the clamp is great. It’s easy to put together and use.Tip: DIY reinforcement plateIf you worry about weight distribution and desk protection but don’t want to buy an expensive reinforcement plate set, do what I did and buy 2 steel tie wood-to-wood plates from Lowes or Home Depot and use that instead. They’re less than a dollar up to 3 dollars each depending on the size, ultra-thin, and very sturdy steel. Just paint it or cover it with some fabric and/or thin foam if you don’t like the metal look for further desk protection.

This VIVO stand exceeded my expectations. It's heavy, made of solid steel throughout. The design is simple and straightforward - no frills, just does what it's supposed to.Assembly is pretty easy, but your desk setup may complicate things.The stand's clamp attaches to the bottom of the vertical pipe by means of three screws. Getting these in and tight is a somewhat fiddly operation, and you'll need to do it before you try to attach the clamp on your desk. This can make the stand awkward to maneuver, if your space is as cramped as mine. (I actually have a low-hanging shelf that forced me to attach the horizontal arm before mounting the clamp.) There's not much Vivo can do about this - just try to have a second set of hands available if your desk sits against a wall and is covered with wiring and delicate electronics.The clamp itself is massive, and has a huge aperture - almost double what I needed to grip the edge of my two-inch thick desktop (formerly a solid-wood door). The clamp has rubber facing for extra grip - it's rock solid once you hand-tighten it. (I didn't try the alternative attachment, but a heavy metal plate is included that would let you mount the stand through a hole in the middle of a larger surface.)The horizontal arm for the stand is quite long when extended, which is great - but it can actually present a challenge if your desk surface isn't unusually deep. In my case, I found that if I mounted the clamp directly behind the center of my monitor, the arm would be much too long and I'd end up with my nose touching the screen. The solution was to offset the clamp about a a foot horizontally from the center of the monitor and put a a 45-degree bend in the arm's elbow joint.Attaching to the VESA mount on my monitor was a bit tricky. The plastic back of the monitor is recessed around the VESA mounting area, and the Vivo attachment plate fit neatly in this depression. Unfortunately, the lip of the depression was just high enough to prevent me from sliding the mounting plate onto the mating track on the end of the Vivo's horizontal arm. The stand does include plastic stand-offs and long screws for use with "curved" monitor backs, but I found these were about twice the height I really needed with my monitor's flat but slightly indented back. Instead I just used a few tiny washers under each of the four VESA screws, which raised the mounting plate just high enough to slide nicely onto the track.Once set up, the Vivo stand gave me a huge range of adjustment. I positioned my monitor so the bottom edge was about 7 inches above my desktop. This fulfilled my chief aim in purchasing the stand - the monitor now sits about two inches higher than its original factory stand would allow. Even at that height, the Vivo stand still has about another inch of upward travel available on its vertical column.Despite the height and angled configuration of the horizontal arm, I'm astonished at the Vivo stand's stability. My hefty 24-inch monitor shows absolutely no tendency at all to bounce or wobble. In fact, it seems more rigidly immovable than it was on its original telescoping stand. If you're at all concerned about stability, forget it - this thing is rock-solid.The Vivo stand includes several clips for organizing your monitor cables. I'm not sure I'll use them. Like most monitors, mine has its cable jacks along the bottom edge, pointing downward. I'd have to bend the cables through 180 degrees in order to run them upward and along the stand's horizontal arm. It feels a bit odd, but I may still do that... once I get around to the major re-wiring I've been putting off.One other minor caution: the Vivo stand uses three different hex keys - you'll need to use all three to assemble the stand, and at least two to adjust it. So be sure to hang on to the supplied keys (or have your own set handy) in case you ever want to change the monitor's positioning. [EDIT: the plastic clip for securing wiring to the vertical column includes three narrow tubular pockets for storage of your hex keys. Nice.]Overall, I'm blown away by the robustness of the Vivo stand. It's really improved the ergonomics of my PC setup, and done a great job of de-cluttering my desk. I wish I'd bought one years ago.

This stand was relatively easy to assemble and mount to the edge of my desk with the clamp. It's a very well-made device and holds my 32-inch monitor firmly in the position I set it. The range of motion is adequate for swiveling and tilting the monitor. The short arms attaching the monitor to the upright pole don't have a lot of range so you have to be OK with limited movement away from the pole. The arm clamp does require a bit of loosening to raise or lower the monitor, so it's not ideal for moving from sit to stand positions on a regular basis. The extra cable clips were handy. It was exactly what I wanted at a good price, shipped fast, and will last a long time.

Was looking to reduce clutter on my desk (Ikea Hilver desktop with beveled edges, this VIVO easily clamped on) as i began to rebuild a home music studio. This VIVO desk stand is fantastic. It's very sturdy and well built and easily supports my LG IPS 32" monitor with ease (Note: my monitor falls under the maximum weight for this arm, which is why I was confident it would work) Setup took a little longer than it needed to but that's not necessarily VIVO's fault (more on that below). As far as parts, everything is really straight forward and does not require many steps to have this up and running.A few things to consider - I set this up on an Ikea Hilver desktop which has beveled edges. Despite the Vivo sliding in deep enough that I could clam it, I decided to buy a set of nice solid wooden hexagonal coasters on amazon. I used 2 coaster on the top and one under the desk to clamp this on to. I did this because the Hilver is not solid wood, rather, it is bamboo with honeycomb filling and I was afraid that the weight of the monitor could eventually cause the desk to break and I didn't want this falling. So far, it is on there really tight and sturdily and I do not see it having any issues. The 4th coaster I use on the desk for drinks. The hexagonal pattern under the clamp looks nice and gives contrast to the bamboo color.My only gripe with the VIVO is that the holes on the VESA mount are a tad small. For whatever reason, LG decided to use a 200x100 VESA pattern rather than the more common 75x75 or 100x100 patterns. So, I bought a vesa adapter plate as an intermediary between the monitor and the VESA mount. The hardware I needed to pass through the VIVO Vesa Mount was slightly bigger than the hold on the mount - but i solved that with my drill and drill bit and simply made the holes bigger on the VIVO vesa plate. Took all of 5 minutes. But had I not needed to used a VESA adapter, the vivo mount would have mounted to the LG perfectly with zero modifications needed so I don't hold that against VIVO at all.all in all - i love this thing and i don't know why I waited so long to mount my monitor this way.

I've been living with this mount for about a week now. I used it to turn my secondary monitor in to a vertical display. My secondary monitor is not VESA compatible, so I had to do a little modification to the monitor, bit now that I have, the stand works great. The monitor I have mounted on it is an AOC i2367F. It's a pretty light monitor, but not ultra light. My biggest concern was that because the stand is not attached to the center of the back of the monitor, the monitor would rotate. That doesn't seem to be the case, and so even though the rotation plane is NOT adjustable, it has a high level of tension and holds up to a fair bit of torque.The stand came with a lot of cardboard packaging. The amazon box had some paper and a smaller brown box inside of it. Inside this smaller brown box was a white box, and inside that white box were two more white boxes, one containing the vertical part of the stand, one containing the horizontal part and all of the screws and small parts. Way too much packaging.I really like the cable management, I thought that would be a gimmicky feature, but it actually works well. The place where you mount the stand on the desk even serves as good place to stick the power brick for the monitor if it has one like mine (see photo).All but one of the axis (the tilt up and down one) are adjusted with a single allen wrench that is provided. The one that isn't, is adjusted with a different wrench, also provided. This axis is a pain to adjust, why couldn't they have just gone with the allen wrench on that one too? I don't know.The monitor's position does drift a little. Over the course of the day it will move 1-2 millimeters. Not a huge deal, you can just adjust it, but if you are obsessive about things being lined up like I am then you might have a problem, but overall this isn't such a big deal when you consider the convince that this thing affords you...This thing is convenient! it makes so much more space on my desk and eliminates the clutter of a stand. If you are working on something in the vertical window, just use the arm to bring it in front of the main screen and work like that. If your desk has a lot of depth like mine does, this thing is a must, because it allows you to bring the monitor closer to your eyes without having to have a traditional monitor stand sitting smack in the middle of the desk.I am really liking the adjustability of the monitor, and I am going to purchase another one of these stands when I upgrade my main monitor in the near future.Once you go adjustable stand you can't go back. They are the best. I would absolutely recommend to a friend.Photos:- the first photo is of my desk setup, the monitor currently using the stand is the vertical one on the right.- the second photo is of the back of the back of the monitor and the stand.- the third photo is a close up of where the stand attaches to the desk. there is a wide array of adjustment here and you could fit all thicknesses of desk. Also note that my monitors power brick is held conveniently right under the mount.UPDATE: 6/7/15: I have been using this for a little longer now and have decided that I like it enough to purchase a second one for my main monitor.UPDATE: 6/15/15: I'm as happy with the second stand as I am with the first.
