Most monitors on the market range in size from 24 to 34 inches. If your monitor size exceeds 34 inches, it is recommended to choose a monitor arm with a maximum load capacity of 12kg. For monitors of other sizes, you can refer to the table below to select the appropriate load-bearing range of the monitor arm.
The monitoring arm should be able to support the weight of the monitor and provide safe installation. It is equally important to ensure that the monitor arm is firmly connected to the table or wall, supporting the weight of the monitor without any swinging or tilting, and the installation surface should be sturdy enough to support the weight of the monitor and arm.
You can choose the appropriate monitor arm based on your monitor size and weight according to the following table:
Monitor Size | Monitor Weight | Monitor Arm Max Load |
20 inches or less | 5 to 7 lbs(2.5-4kg) | 13.2lbs(6kg) |
25 inches or less | 7 to 9 lbs(3.5-4.5kg) | 13.2lbs(6kg) |
32 inches or less | 9 to 12 lbs(4.5-5.5kg) | 30.9lbs(8kg) |
34 inches or less | 12 to 22 lbs(5.5-9.5kg) | 35.2lbs(12kg) |
49 inches or less | 22 to 33 lbs(9.5-15kg) | 44lbs(20kg) |
Most merchants may have inaccurate labeling of the maximum load capacity of their monitor brackets. If your monitor weight is greater than 70% of the maximum load capacity of the monitor bracket you are planning to purchase, it is recommended that you choose a bracket with a larger load capacity to ensure that it will not sink during long-term use.
By selecting the correct monitor arm and ensuring that it is firmly connected to the table or wall, you can enjoy the benefits of an ultra wide or curved screen monitor while maintaining a comfortable and ergonomic workspace.
