Ergotron MX LCD desk arm mini review


Recommended Posts

Finally one that can handle the weight of my 24" screen which is aluminium all over so quite how it weighs 11KG I don't know!

The height is perfectly fine as well which is a bonus for me, the main thing was reach and movement which it does perfectly, can watch from the armchair or from bed no problems. So impressed in fact I'm going to get a wallmount Ergotron for the 32" Samsung in the games room.

Thinking back to when I had the LX, I don't think you will get much height adjustment on any arm really with a 24" screen due to them being so big - you'd need an arm with an extra long...arm and the cost would be beyond ?100 I'd imagine too.

That's the problem I had for the 24" ! the cheap ones were weak and supported screens that were way below 24" and the ones that were 24" capable 11KG+ were too expensive, in the end I said sod it and got the Ergotron :p

measure what :?

I don't know how big your monitor is but all you have to do do is take the excess of 27.5" and divide that by half to test for portrait mode.

For example, your monitor is 22" wide and my monitor is 27.5" wide. 27.5" - (minus) 22" = 5.5/(divided)2= 2.75"

Now turn your monitor in portrait mode and add 2.75" to the bottom of the monitor to see if it will touch your desk.

I hope I didn't confuse you :)

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
