Why Monitor Arms

Facility Management, Procurement & IT Managers all have a variety of reasons for demanding a modular monitor arm over traditional plastic stands or even the commonly-used telephone books.

Build your own monitor arm configuration.

The use of modular monitor arms allows a reduced desk depth from 800mm (31.49 inches) for CRT monitors or LCD monitors on a plastic stand to 600mm (24 inches). The results - greater space utlisation. With a modular monitor arm, the user can easily swing the monitor out of the way when not in use freeing up space for other tasks such as meetings or creative thinking. The effective footprint of the monitor is therefore eliminated.

Ergonomic Benefits

Minimise OH&S risks and increase productivity

Comfortable working position - modular monitor arms allows LCD monitors to be placed at suitable heights for different users (the top of the screen should be just below eye level) allowing the correct posture to be achieved. This will result in a reduction in neck and back related injuries

Eye strain - The recommeneded distance between the eye and the monitor varies between users but is generally accepted to be an arms length away. The flexibility of a modular monitor arm allows the user to adjust the monitor to a comfortable distance in order to minimise eye strain

Build a solution to suit your changing needs

With our modular format, you can easily add and subtract arms or accessories as your needs change. Either do this during the initial installation, or other time as your needs change. No other monitor arm allows for such flexibility once installed.

Two Monitors or One?

LCD Arms have revolutionised the world of monitor mounts through decades of research and testing, flawlessly combining sleek design and cutting-edge ergonomic innovation to conserve precious desk space and improve performance.

The basic arm consists of an arm of varying length, sometimes mounted to a pole, always mountable to a desk or wall. This arm has a VESA adapter plate at one end, designed to hold all VESA monitors (the vast majority of all monitors are VESA-compliant). Depending on the make and model, some arms will include mounts for a mouse and keyboard, or for multiple monitors. All of the mounts provide an impressive range of motion from a remarkably small footprint on your desk or floor.

Why Ergonomics? For as long as most of us can remember, technology has been advancing at a stunning pace, and the results have been tangible: We have put men on the moon, can fit entire databases of music into our back pocket and have devices in our cars that make it so we never have to ask for directions again. Unfortunately, the price of progress is often paid with bleary eyes, aching backs and carpal tunnel syndrome by those who interact with our technological devices.

Enter the concept of ergonomics - the adaptation of machine to man. Ergonomic products are designed to enhance the interface between technology and the human form. Ergonomics is the science of identifying the physical points of stress, and then minimize or eliminate that stress through superior design.

Why LCD Arms? Space Management Monitor arms as a whole find their greatest value in space management. From classrooms to dental offices, from the stock market to a home office, space is at a premium and the effective management of that space is essential. An LCD arm or pole mount provides the full use of a monitor at the most comfortable viewing angle while virtually eliminating the monitor?s footprint on the desk. The arm itself folds down to occupy a space as small as 3 inches wide in some cases.

Health care professionals love LCD Arms because of the intuitive use, maximum flexibility, and durability. It's incredibly handy for a dentist to be able to simply pull a monitor from the wall to the chair to show her patient their x-rays, and effective use of space is crucial in hospital environments.
