Product Details
Elevate your display to floating ergonomic perfection with the TidySetup Full-Motion Single Monitor Arm. Built with aircraft-grade aluminum and a precision gas-spring counterbalance strut, this heavy-duty mount supports screens from 13" to 32" (up to 19.8 lbs / 9 kg). Enjoy effortless 360° screen rotation, +90°/-45° tilt, ±90° swivel, and integrated cable concealment in sleek Matte Black or Pure White finishes.
- Universal 13"–32" Display Support: Handles flat and curved monitors up to 19.8 lbs (9 kg) with standard VESA 75x75mm and 100x100mm interfaces.
- Effortless Fingertip Positioning: Smooth gas-strut cylinder enables tool-free vertical elevation, depth extension, and tilt adjustments.
- Reclaims 100+ Sq. Inches: Eliminates massive plastic factory monitor bases, clearing the entire central desk surface beneath your screen.
- Dual Mounting Options Included: Heavy-duty silicone-padded C-clamp (0.4"–2.0" desk thickness) and grommet mounting hardware included.
Floating Display Architecture for Ergonomic Comfort
Standard factory monitor stands are bulky, non-adjustable, and trap your display too low and too close to your eyes. The TidySetup Full-Motion Single Monitor Arm replaces static OEM stands with a precision-counterbalanced articulating arm that allows your screen to float effortlessly in 3D space.
Designed for knowledge workers, software developers, and digital creatives, this single monitor mount lets you pull your screen forward for detailed vector drafting or text editing, push it back for open writing room, or rotate it 90° for full-page code reviewing.
A full-motion single monitor arm decouples the display from the tabletop, allowing continuous height, focal distance (20–30 inches), and tilt adjustments while freeing over 100 square inches of primary desk space.
Key Ergonomic & Mechanical Advantages
- Anatomical Sightline Calibration: Adjust screen height so the top third of the display aligns with seated eye level, preventing forward head tilt and relieving cervical spine pressure.
- 360° Landscape-to-Portrait Rotation: Switch seamlessly between horizontal widescreen mode for video editing/spreadsheets and vertical portrait mode for programming and reading long PDF documents.
- Heavy-Duty Gas Strut Mechanism: Internal pneumatic gas cylinder counterbalances the exact weight of your screen, ensuring it stays firmly in position without drooping or wobbling during typing.
- Integrated Cable Management: Snap-on wire channels along the upper and lower aluminum arm segments conceal power and DisplayPort lines for a clean, wireless appearance.
- Non-Damaging Desk Attachment: Padded C-clamps grip delicate solid wood, laminate, and glass-topped desks firmly without scratching or indenting surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will this monitor arm hold a 34-inch ultrawide display?
Yes, provided the ultrawide display weighs under 19.8 lbs (9.0 kg) without its original stand and utilizes a 75x75mm or 100x100mm VESA pattern.
Can I push my desk flat against a wall with this arm installed?
Yes. The dual-joint articulating elbows can fold flat along the rear edge of your desk, requiring only 2 to 3 inches of clearance behind the desk.
What if my monitor does not have screw holes on the back?
Non-VESA monitors require a universal VESA adapter bracket before mounting to any standard monitor arm.

The **Full-Motion Single Monitor Arm (SMA)** in Matte Black is an absolute engineering triumph. I mounted my Gigabyte M28U 28″ 4K 144Hz on my solid ash motorized studio desk, and the mechanical stability and fluid articulation are world-class.
### **Heavy-Duty Load Handling & Biomechanics**
Proper eye-level screen height is crucial to avoid cervical neck strain. This arm provides over 10 inches of smooth vertical lift and extends up to 21 inches forward. Adjusting the screen for standing versus sitting posture takes zero effort, and the gas strut holds heavy displays with zero sag or vibration during fast typing.
### **Quick-Release VESA & Cable Management**
The detachable VESA plate (75x75mm and 100x100mm) makes mounting large monitors safe and easy—you attach the plate to the back of the monitor first, then simply slide and click it onto the arm. Snap-on cable covers along the arm segments completely hide the display and power cords.
**Pros:**
– High load capacity supporting 13″ to 32″ displays (up to 19.8 lbs / 9kg)
– Fluid counterbalance gas spring with quick-release VESA bracket
– Non-scratch C-clamp and grommet installation options included
– Full 360° portrait/landscape rotation and wide tilt angles
**Cons:**
– Requires tightening the tilt bolt firmly for heavy 32-inch displays, but holds solid once set
The definitive single monitor arm for demanding professionals.
