Reddit mentions of North Bayou Monitor Desk Mount Stand Full Motion Swivel Monitor Arm Gas Spring for 17''-27'' Computer Monitor from 4.4 to 14.3lbs

I used to have my two 27" monitors on a single mount like this.

I now have them on individual mounts similar to this.

I have way more options for adjusting them now. I can kick back, put my feet up on my desk, and pull my main monitor forward to a position where it's still comfortable to look at it.

I personally prefer 2 single arms since there's more freedom of movement and it's less stress on the mounting point.
This deal seems awesome https://www.amazon.ca/NB-North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer/dp/B01FRWONKI/ref=sr_1_1?m=A2V6O7OTRZHL3U&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1527767437&sr=1-1

I highly reccommend something like this for mounting, it changed my life when I put my monitors on those. frees up your desk space and makes your workspace much more flexible

Are you sure you bought that exact one? Because it absolutely has VESA compatibility -- it is literally only VESA-compatible.

Also, as you can see from the diagram, it is quite adjustable. In fact, both items have the exact same set of rotational axes -- the only thing that could vary between the two are the angles through which each axis rotates and the length of the arms. The Monoprice mount must have longer arms, if it's able to hold 34" monitors, making it more adjustable. But to say one is much more adjustable than the other seems over-dramatic. Something like this would be much less adjustable.

Also, some of the adjustable screws are concealed by plastic casings. They easily pop off, allowing access to adjust them, but the instruction manual failed to mention their existence. I only knew to look for them because I saw them referenced in a review. Perhaps, because the instruction manual doesn't mention them, you weren't aware of these extra adjustable parameters and misinterpreted the mount as less adjustable than it really is?

I have this one, which is the single-arm version of the one I linked above and I think it is very well-built/sturdy. The Monoprice is probably sturdier -- it would need to be, in order to hold more weight. If you need to mount something bigger than 27", definitely go with the Monoprice. But I have used the North Bayou mount to mount a XB270HU, XB271HU, XG2703-GS, and an older/heavier LG monitor -- all of which are 27" -- and the mount is rock-solid.

I'm not saying that the North Bayou is better than the Monoprice -- I've never used a Monoprice monitor mount and can't make that comparison. In fact, I would assume the Monoprice is better, since it can hold larger monitors. But the Monoprice is more expensive and, for me, the cheapest shipping is $12.19, bringing the total cost to $63.38, before tax. The North Bayou mount is only $38.16, before tax, making it $25 / 40% cheaper, and comes from Amazon. In my own experience, it is very sturdy and highly adjustable -- if my 27" monitors are being sturdily held in place and can be adjusted through any of the positions I'd realistically use, I don't think I'd gain anything from spending the extra cash.

I just want to make the distinction to anybody reading this that, even though the Monoprice mount might be a little sturdier/more adjustable, the North Bayou is absolutely more than adequate and is a crowd-favorite on r/buildapcsales (search through the previous listings, everyone speaks very highly of them and considers them to be exceptional quality for the price, including myself). Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but, if you're only mounting 27" monitors or smaller, the North Bayou option seems like a no-brainer to me.

This one, works awesome and is pretty cheap, holds up the monitor with no issues.

Thanks! I’m actually using two of these. They have some mixed reviews, but I like them. The only issue I have with them is the cable management isn’t 100%. So I just have Velcro strips holding cables to the arms. Other than that they’re pretty great. I don’t use the USB ports on them for now.

Are you looking for a mobile or stationary device?

There have been a small number of laptops over the years with screens that can be tilted, rotated and adjusted in height. These are commonly referred to as convertibles. I have an Acer Aspire R13, which has been discontinued, but is still available. Here's how I'm commonly using it. You can rotate and tilt it freely, making it much more ergonomic than other laptops and newer convertibles. It's not a gaming device, but with its two SSDs working in a RAID configuration (optional), it's wicked fast for work. Despite being discontinued, it's still available at major online retailers.

As for stationary monitors, higher quality one almost always come with a height adjustable stand. Those that don't often have four screw holes (VESA mount) at the back, allowing you to attach them to flesible mounts like this one.
