How steady is thw monitor on desk?

Very steady. It does not rock or move around unless you move it. Nice monitor.

We have 3 of these monitors, and even though the base looks small, we have had no issues with stability of the monitors. Two have been in use for about a year and are performing well.

Very steady. I have had it on my desk for over a year and have knocked the desk. It doesn't rock or move when I bump the desk.

Good question. You might need to weight the table. It would depend on how the weight compares. Related to stability -- I have my Ergotron and two monitors mounted on a very firm desk surface and find that the keyboard and monitors bounce and jiggle a little as I work, as others have also reported.

I've done two installations of (2)-23" monitors each and they work just fine. It won't tip over, the base is heavy.

The desk is strong, I would say 2-3 27" will be ok. Plus all monitors are very light, you are definitely fine if you get LEDs

With the monitor attached it just moves up and down on mine. I think mine wouldn't budge either until I attached the monitor.

That wont be necessary, once you have accomplished the appropriate angles to create a sturdy stance nothing is going to fall. I stand all day but on occasion I sit. I simple bring my keyboard down to my desk and move my monitor to the keyboard tray which is perfect eye level for me I am 5'7.

i have 2 monitors and a vertical dual monitor rack on it. total weight is about 50 lbs and the desk is fine.

It is very stable, but I don't recommend you put a monitor on it.i just put my laptop and papers on it.

At the highest setting, the bottom of the monitor is ~10 inches from the desk. I did put my laptop under it to test, and it is possible.

I have a laptop, a large flat-screen monitor, a keyboard and a mouse on mine and there is no noticeable movement when I'm working. But if you push on it, it will move a little. If you plan to use it for something other than its intended purpose with some equipment that is vibration-sensitive I hesitate to predict what will happen.

I use it with my laptop so don't know about use with a monitor. I don't find the hand on mouse as a problem. Have to tighten a screw on the arm every once in a while so the tray doesn't slip down but that's not much of an issue.

I built a desk up around a similar design older model T30. Since I just need a slow pace using it as a desk, there isn't much need to see the display, though I can peek around the shelf and see it if I need to. I left a gap between the shelf where my keyboard sits and the shelf where the monitor is so I can look in there, or bend over and peek under. But due to my height the shelf is more than a foot above the handles.My problem is with the programming, haven't found a way to just turn it on and let it run for hours. Have to keep resetting. A bit of a hazard if I'm deep in thought and the track suddenly stops, making me almost fall over backwards. I built a desk up around a similar design older model T30.

I havent used a clamp monitor stand, but i am using other clamp products. the top desk plate is strong enough to withstand the clamps i am using with ease. HOWEVER, one thing i strongly recommend is that you get two metal plates and place them between the top clamp and the top of the desk, and another plate between the bottom dual clamps and the bottom of the desk. Reason 1: the bottom dual claps are little circles that will apply an incredible amount of pressure to just those two spots. if you place a metal plate between the circles and the bottom of the desk, you will be able to clamp tighter without beginning to crack the wood of the desk. Reason 2: a metal plate will dispurse the force of the clamps to a wider area across the desk, therefore you leave less of a mark on the desk, possibly even no mark. Reason 3: the monitors will be more stable. less shaking, wobbling, or any other movement. again, a tighter clamp means a tighter grip, which will better prevent movement. with only the two little circle clamps sustaining the weight of the monitor and laptop, you are bound to get some motion, but using the metal plates will minimize such movement. I reccommend using a steel plate (or stronger) at least 2.0 mm in thickness. home depot sells a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes. chances are the plates will be silver in color, and since the desk is black, you may wnat to paint the plates before using them. engine paint (spray paint can) is always a good option, it is durable, easy to apply, and looks professional when dry. good luck!

I have answered this question previously. However, at the lowest position my monitor is about 2 inches off the desk top; at the highest position the bottom of my monitor is 15.5 inches off the desk top. The top of the mounting post is 13.5 inches off the desk top and the arm is mounted just 1.5 inches from the top of the post; this seems to me to provide the most stability in the mounting. My monitor has a a 24 inch diagonal measurement and 13 inch vertical measurement.

I have six 24 inch monitors on the mount. I have the lowest monitors 3 1/4 inches from the desk but I could lower it or raise it by an inch of required. It's price is low so I was worried about it being wobbly as well, but it is not. I'm happy with it still after about 6 months.

I use 24 inch monitors. 3 of them. It does sag slightly but there are enough points of adjustment that you can compensate for it.

mine is smooth. I have 19" flat monitor on mine with no issues. your's might be defective. bad bearing etc. it should turn nice with a full gallon jug of water on it.
