HUANUO Extra Tall Single Monitor Stand

I regularly work at home since the start of the pandemic. I thought about adding a second monitor but the real estate of my desk (45 inch wide) wasn’t really good to accommodate my 34 inch ultrawide monitor and a second monitor. When I saw the variations of this type of monitor mount, it sounded like a great option.

I mounted a 29 inch ultrawide monitor onto the pole and arm attachment. I found it quite sturdy and capable of holding up a larger sized monitor.

For reference: used with LG 43UJ6300 tv and 

this

 VESA adapter

TL;DR: just installed it, so far works pretty well for my larger-than-recommended screen using the grommet option (hole in desk). had to buy an adapter because my screen needs a 200×200 VESA and then do some further diy to make it work, but not to bad!

I live in a rental, so If I can avoid screwing into my wall I will. On top of that, the studs are metal, which complicates mounting things into them, so this is the best alternative I could find. the product isn’t technically recommended for a screen this big, but the LG tv happens to be pretty light (supposedly 18.5lbs) so since it was within that limit I decided to take the chance.
I needed a mount that could attach to my desk while also raising the bottom of my tv above the top of my other monitor (around 15″ tall). This is one of the only things that fit the bill, with some adjustments.
I had to buy a VESA adapter(~$14) because the tv is 200×200, and the one I bought came with screws that were just a hair too big for this VESA plate, so I ended up using my drill (3/16 bit in my case) to widen the holes ever so slightly. the screws that come with this mount to attach the monitor to it were also too small for the threaded holes in my tv, but the adapter I bought came with screws that fixed that issue, and that probably related to the fact that this isn’t originally intended for a 200×200 VESA, so no problem.
I had to drill a hole in my desk and use the grommet set up to make my set up work, because my desk is a bit too thick for the clamp and also has a lip on it. Don’t love that I had to do that, but the desk is a bit junky anyway, and this is one of the only mounts that works for this kind of thing (tv to desk) so I am working with what I’ve got. The biggest bit I have is 1/4in and this definitely needs a bigger hole (maybe 3/8?), but with some creative drilling I got it to work fine.
The bolt knob thing that goes underneath doesnt interfere with my drawer at all, which I love. you can kind of see what it’s like in the picture inside the drawer. when I first set it up I screwed it as tightly as I could, but with the weight of the tv it got a bit loose so I had to tighten it further at the end.
As far as the weight support goes, so far so good, but I just mounted it. the combined weight of my tv and mounting plate is around 20.7lbs (according to the info provided by the respective manufacturers), so it’s definitely cutting it close for this item’s capacity. There is a slight angling forward for the whole pole, which improved once I tightened the knob underneath more. The part that slides into the VESA plate is difficult to tighten enough to prevent the screen from angling down, and the bottom of the screen ends up resting against the pole (somewhat visible in the 3rd pic). It probably would be better if I could tighten the screw that allows adjustment further, but I feel like I’m going to break the provided allen key if I try any harder. Not a huge deal in the end because its so high up that it kind of needs to tilt anyway, but a little annoying.
If I remember, I will update this in a few months to see how it has lasted.
Over all, so far very pleased! They should advertise this for larger screens within the weight limit because it’s so hard to find something like this! I ordered and returned another mount before finding this one.

I bought 2; my monitors are 28” each with the VESA mount awkwardly placed near the top back vs in the middle where most are located, so I needed an arm that goes high enough; this arm works great. Easy to put together and is sturdy. I have one monitor in a vertical position and the other is horizontal. No complaints.
