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 :)

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
