I'm considering using this for touchscreen monitors...I don't want to re-position the arms whenever I tap a screen. Can the arms be locked in place?

Hi Joseph, the arms cannot be "locked", but they do have a collar that can be tightened down pretty tightly (I imagine because I don't do that myself) with an allen wrench so that their movement will be restricted. That's all I can tell you.

No. I use these arms in a studio setting. They are excellent for getting the monitors close up and personal. But they do not lock in place.
2049438
The arms aren't lockable, but the tension is adjustable. Touching the screen shouldn't cause much, if any, movement.

All movements have a screw associated with them. You can loosen or tighten the screws with an allen wrench to control the amount of movement. I have mine set just tight enough to keep the monitor in place as I use it but also allow me to move it to a new position when I change positions at my desk. You could probably tighten the screws to keep the arm in place once you position it to allow the touch screen function without worrying about movement. It would be too cumbersome, however, if you plan to reposition your monitor frequently.

The arms hold position in place very well. You can tighten the tension on the arms so movement and adjustments are balanced with holding position. I use touch features all day with windows 8 and have NEVER seen a monitor(s) move out of place due to touch.I do have a very shaky desk - it's a shelf/desk system that hangs on the wall, basically, so any movement at all (i.e. me leaning on the desk) shakes the whole thing. I see bounce in the monitors as a reaction to that, but - again - the arms have never moved out of place due to touch. If you can mount it to a really stable surface or even the wall (I think you can do that?) it should a rock-solid purchase for you.Hope it works for you. The arms hold position in place very well.

The degree of resistance is adjustable. I grasp the monitor with both hands to gently adjust position, although it will adjust with just one hand. Tapping on the screen would not be enough force to move the screen.

It is possible to adjust, no need to lock. It holds my monitors very firm and securely in place. It doesn't move with lite or even moderate pressure applied.

You can lock the screen tilt action but it does not appear to me that the extension arm locks. Hope that helps!

I don't think you will have any problems with the arm itself, I have two for a 19" and 22" monitors and they are very versatile, stable, and strong. (I don't think there would be a problem with a monitor at a 90deg angle). Unless you drill this stand into the night stand though, it will require close approx 4" square clearance underneath the top for the bottom of the clamp. And the nightstand should be old and heavy, not a press-board version. The stands themselves are pretty hefty. Good luck and God bless.

They do not adjust/slide horizontally along the arms. You can adjust the angle of the monitor and the arm separately.

You have to unsnap the left side snap fastener. You cannot extend and rotate the screen unless you do that.

I think the correct answer is "maybe"... but it would be touch-and-go, depending on the weight of the monitor. I have an Apple Thunderbolt 27" display, and the "secondary" height adjustment spring, which allows you to fine-tune the height of the monitor, isn't strong enough to hold the display up off the keyboard arm reliably. For me, that's OK, resting on the keyboard arm (upper part of the L, not down on the keyboard itself) is just about the right height sitting or standing. However, if you care to have that secondary adjustment, I think a monitor as heavy or heavier than the Apple Thunderbolt 27" is going to be an issue.Good luck.

Not sure which 2 arms you are referring to?But my guess is you only have 2 monitor and don't need the other set.In that case.. yesthe arms are slide into the vertical bar.

I guess it depends if you have the mounting holes on the back. I have a Princeton monitor and it has a stand that appears to be all-in-one with the back panel. We got arm on and my husband wrestled the bottom (the foot) of the stand off and it works fine for me. Hope this helps.

My solution--not the best, to be sure--is not to lock the thing in the first place, just use the little lock on the screen, which is easily undone.

Yes, the monitor extension arms can be positioned all the way down to the top of the cone on the vertical support pole. There's a thumb screw on the back that loosens/tightens the round clamp on the extension arms around the vertical pole.

Hello Digi,This monitor mount can be adjusted so that the arm will stay put. Thanks for your question!Taylor W.VIVO

Yes, the tabs do hold the screen in place. I have always used a mouse, so not sure if the screen would block the 'touch' feature.

I actually chatted with their customer service about this. The rep said: "The [tall] pole is able to hold the weight of two LX arms and a monitor that is within the specifications of the arm. We, unfortunately do not sell the arms separately though. Sometimes you can find the arms from outside sources." So you can put two on there. It might hold a third, depending on the size/weight of your monitors, but I think it would just be hard to control all those arms, as others have said.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

Yes. I use one of my monitors portrait for wen pages and the other screen landscape for games. If you try to do it with your hands you might loosen it too much. I recommend the tool that comes with it, just pop the cover off the side and tighten or loosen it.

There is a wrist joint that allows that much rotation, though there might be positions you could get the arm into where perhaps the arm itself was getting in the way of a full 180 degrees of swing of the screen unit. It would depend on the size of the monitor somewhat and on how far out from the wall the arm was extended, but I think the basic answer is yes.

Don't let them lie to you. I bought two, both of them wobble so badly you need one hand on them at all times to steady it.... That is...if the pressure from your hand does not tweak the frame and cause the touchscreen to stop detecting touches!
