Loctek Pro Mount, 17"-30" Dual Gas Spring Monitor Stand - VESA 75 & 100mm - Max Load 5KG Per Arm - 5 Years Warranty

The stands are solid, and once you've figured out the various screws and adjustments, adjusting the monitors is a breeze. Unfortunately the regular "screw" fitting was too large for my desk, so had to go with the version where you have to run a bolt *through* the desk. This requires drilling a hole in the desk. For those who need to go this route, an 8mm drill bit is what is required. I am happy they do provide 2 options for attaching to the desk, as I hadn't considered the back of my desk might be too shallow for the regular screw fixture (where drilling isn't required).

I am happy they do provide 2 options for attaching to the desk, as I hadn't considered the back of my desk might be too shallow for the regular screw fixture (where drilling isn't required).

However, the major problem with these mounts is that the base arms don't rotate all the way in the back.

While this makes sense if your desk is up against a wall (the arms would go into the wall if they were rotated all the way back), it means in order for both monitors to be next to each other, the monitors have to jut quite far forward (which you can see in the example photos). I have a pair of 24 inch monitors, and when they are placed next to each other (so they are basically touching), they jut forward about 20-30cm from the stand. This likely won't be a problem if you have a deep desk, but mine is only 60cm deep, so the monitors effectively hang over the middle of the desk, meaning I don't have much distance between myself and the screens.

To solve this, I have to push the screens back, which means a large gap between both monitors, which isn't ideal. The other issue with this solution is that it means the monitors are further to the left and right, so I have to turn my head in both directions to look at each screen. Not great from an RSI point of view, but better than damaging eyesight from having screens too close! The other possible solution (which I haven't tried yet) might be to install the mount back-to-front, as the base arms CAN go all the way forward.

All in all, well made/strong stands, but the lack of flexibility means they are more suited for deeper desks.
