A monitor arm is an adjustable mount that holds a computer monitor above your desk. It attaches to the desk with a clamp or through a hole and allows you to move, tilt, rotate, and adjust the height of your screen for better comfort and workspace organization. Monitor arms are commonly used in offices, gaming setups, and home workstations.

How a Monitor Arm Works

A monitor arm connects to the back of a monitor using VESA mounting holes (usually 75×75 mm or 100×100 mm). The arm is attached to the desk with a clamp or grommet mount, and its joints allow the monitor to move in different directions.
