How do I adjust the tension for different monitor weights?
Tension adjustment is simple and tool-free. You'll find a tension adjustment knob on the arm mechanism—turn it clockwise (marked with +) to increase tension for heavier monitors, or counterclockwise (marked with -) to decrease tension for lighter displays until achieving perfect balance.
Does the monitor arm allow for both landscape and portrait orientations?
Yes, the arm features complete 360-degree rotation capability, allowing you to easily switch between landscape and portrait orientations. This flexibility is ideal for tasks like coding, document editing, or any work that benefits from vertical screen orientation without requiring monitor remounting.

How much desk space will I gain by using this monitor arm?
By elevating your monitor off the desk surface, you'll reclaim the entire footprint previously occupied by your monitor stand—typically 8 to 12 inches of depth. This freed space provides room for keyboards, documents, or personal items while maintaining full monitor adjustability.
