Compare a monitor arm's published specifications with your screens and desk. Specification fit and desk safety are separate checks.

Choose a mount listed by this arm to see a result.
Arm and preset figures come from manufacturer sources we recorded. Your desk is not selected from a catalog, so this page does not treat any named desk as clamp-approved.
Custom monitor entries are your figures, not manufacturer-verified catalog data.
It compares manufacturer-published figures for the arm with the monitor weights, VESA patterns, and mount details you enter. Use the panel weight without the stand. The boxed weight includes the foot you are about to remove.
It cannot certify that a desk can take a clamp. A general or concentrated load rating is not clamp-mount approval. Unknown VESA, unpublished clamp ranges, and missing desk guidance stay unknown.
Need to check whether two screens fit across the desk first? Use the Desk width calculator. The related guides below cover dual monitor arms and standing desks.

The guides behind the numbers: monitor arms, desk width, and which desk to pick.
Every standing desk product page leads with its maximum height. The minimum decides whether you can sit at it, and on seven of the desks we read it starts in the top 1.4 in (3.6 cm) of the guideline's seated range. Eight makers, one BIFMA guideline, one spare bedroom, and a pick for each problem.
A dual monitor arm is sold on its maximum. The minimum it needs, and the load your desk is rated for, are what decide whether it works. Three arms, one Dell monitor line and one IKEA tabletop, worked against each other, with a pick for each kind of desk.
