HUANUO FlowLift™ Single Monitor Mount, 13 to 32 Inch Monitor Arm, Adjustable Monitor Stand, Vesa Mount with Clamp and Grommet Base - Fits 4.4 to 19.8lbs LCD Computer Monitors

As the title says, this was my first time mounting a monitor. Actually I have never mounted anything! I usually keep my monitors on their stand or TV's on a console. I recently purchased a Dell S2721D to use as a dual monitor and larger screen for my Steam Deck. Unfortunately the base of the monitor stand was HUGE! It also only allowed the screen to tilt up or down, I needed more. So a quick search on Amazon and I found this stand, what intrigued me was that it used gas for tension instead of coils. It also had a huge range of motion and tons of good reviews and was very affordable. Come day of delivery I unboxed it, read the instructions and went to work. First piece of paper included separately from the instruction manual was directions on what to do if your desk has a metal frame and then wood boards on top of the frame. This was my case, I needed to take an extra step to make sure the base of the mount was secure to my desktop. The instructions suggested using either a piece of wood to place under the desk next to the frame or a book, this way there is something there the same thickness of the wood + frame which would allow the gromet of the stand to catch onto something instead of just the lip of the metal frame. I went with a thick book and it secured perfectly! Next step was to remove the plastic frame from the lower arm and the upper arm so I could feed my wires through. This is where I hit a slight snag, the screw for the bottom arm was in an awkward area, the provided Allan key/Phillips head combo was too small to get a good fit into the screw head and only took a couple of twists to realize it could strip the screw head. Luckily I had a different screw driver and with a little effort I was able to get the screw out and the piece open. I placed my two HDMI wires and the power wire through the top cover first, made sure there was enough slack at the top and then screwed the plate back onto the top arm making sure it was not too tight. Then I pulled the cables down through the bottom plastic plate and screwed it back onto the bottom arm. Once I knew I had enough slack I tightened both covers. Next up was actually mounting the monitor. I removed the 4 screws that were already in the monitor and replaced them with the screws provided with the stand as they had larger heads. I screwed in the top two just enough to keep them secure and then hung the monitor onto the top of the plate which was secured to the arm, think hanging a picture frame. Now that the monitor was hanging on the plate, I slowly let go of the monitor as to avoid having the arm slam down or dropping the monitor which is a little less than 10 pounds. It hung with no issue, the arm didn't even go down in the slightest ( there's that gas power! ). I then secured the bottom two screws to the plate and tightened the top two screws, we were fully secured! I plugged in the power, the two HDMI cords and then rotated the screen 90 degrees to make it vertical and make sure I had enough slack for the monitor to rotate that far without causing pressure on the cords. Once that was done I pulled more of the cords down through the arms. Last step was to reduce the tension of the arm so that the arm could move up and down without too much force. I reduced it just enough to allow full movement yet keep the monitor in its place once released. Now I have full motion of the monitor, I can move it almost anywhere I need to to have the best view possible. This stand is solid, functional and the best bang for your buck!

Easy to assemble and supports older heavier monitors with ease. The adjustable tension in the upper arm makes a huge difference in how easy it is to position a monitor and have it stay where you want it. I have an older version, and I bought a second one to use with my standup desk. They clamp on and easily go up and down with the adjustable part of the desk. Everything you need is included for basic installation, and there are multiple mounting options.

Very easy to setup. I was worried I would have to spend time trying to figure out a puzzle with it but it came with clear instructions, FANTASTIC packaging and the material it's self is sooo heavy duty. I don't think this thing is ever going to break. lol It seems to be quality thick metal which I can tell with last for a long time. I am not worried if the product is going to drop my monitor or not because it really has a good hold on it. Very happy with the stability aspect of it as well. Visually I think it looks nice as well. It doesn't have a lot of of things sticking out everywhere. The extended visibility that I have now because I can move it in all types of directions. Love the product.

So I have to make this a bit of a mixed review because there are apparently a couple versions of this out there. The first one I ordered was great. I bought it to try it out and see if it was viable. It helped that the price was great compared to other monitor arms. Once that worked out, I went and bought two more. One of the ones I received was different from the others. The main arm components are the same but the mounting hardware was different. The first two had a single solid screw and three points on the bracket that goes under the desktop mount were metal nobs that fit into three holes to keep the whole thing rigid. For the third one, there was no central solid screw but three smaller ones that fit into those three holes and somehow felt less secure (though it was still solid once screwed into place). At first I didn't think anything of it but then when I mounted the monitor on the arm, I had to adjust the mid-arm tension and the end point to max to hold the monitor in place. The other two were near perfect and didn't require much of any adjustments (and all three monitors are the same exact model/make so no differences in weight/dimensions). So, if you get this and the manual reads HNSS6 then you're going to likely get the good experience. If you get one where the manual (not the box) reads HNSS6/HNSS6W, then your mileage may vary. I honestly thought I was going to have to return the arm because the monitor just wanted to tilt down. As far as the two other arms, putting it together was really straightforward. Once I got the hang of it from the first one, the others took maybe 5 minutes to assemble? And once in use, it's been great. These are not really made for vertical movement once set in place. There's a tension screw you have to use a hex wrench on to adjust height. But horizonal movement along the reach of the arm as well as rotating the monitor left and right is great. Doesn't feel flimsy or unsafe. So much easier to shift my monitors around as I move controllers in place (e.g., flight stick) or if I need to get behind them (one side sort of blocks access to drawers but now that I can rotate the monitor it isn't a problem compared to the static monitor mount I had before.

So glad I finally upgraded to this! I got this to help lift my monitor for more table space to have my Nintendo 64 directly underneath. Now, my monitor is a 27 inch, and under 5 pounds. The stand can easily handle that weight. So, I can’t speak for heavier monitors/tvs. It was easy to install. Feels strong, easily to adjust height and tilt. Looks great in my game room. Thinking about another one for my main monitor! It’s my first time using a third party kit to position my monitor.

Easy to set up and adjust the monitor when needed. Clears up desk space which I was looking to do. Plus, it didn’t cost too much in terms of pricing. Love this!

For around $30, this is a solid upgrade over a stock monitor stand and it immediately improves desk space and the look of a setup. If you mainly want a cleaner aesthetic and do not plan on constantly moving your monitor around, it does the job. The downside is that it feels budget when you actually adjust it. When I move the monitor closer or farther, the screen can slightly tilt, which means I have to re-level it afterward. That would not be a big deal, except tilt adjustments are very stiff once you tighten everything enough to keep the monitor from drifting. You basically have to tighten it hard for stability, and then fine tilt adjustments become annoying. A few minor notes: The base has a logo sticker, but it comes off easily. It is not especially sleek compared to more premium arms. My desk is thick (metal frame underneath), and this arm’s clamp range is part of why I bought it in the first place. I bought mine in 2022, so I cannot speak to newer revisions. I still rate it highly because it works if you tighten everything down and treat it like a “set it once” arm. If you want smooth repositioning and easy tilt changes, spend more on a better gas-spring arm.

Super mobile and smooth. For a budget arm it's great! Assembly was pretty easy, coming from someone who had a really bad arm before this, it basically glides, love it! (ignore the mess in the pic)

Really good quality monitor arm for the money. Wide range of angles and height adjustment. Reassuringly weighty and holds my monitor perfectly, easy to adjust single handedly after adjusting the tension spring to compensate for the weight of my 27 inch Dell monitor. Mounted to the back of my ikea gaming desk perfectly.

Amazed by the flexibility of this thing. Really can turn at any weird angles which helps my work. I’m able to turn the monitor to face the visitors as well back to an angle where people standing could see. Love the hydraulic sound that comes with it that sounds like robocop. Only downside is I still haven’t figure out how to loosen the adapter holding the monitor. The instruction is to use the Allen key but it doesn’t fit. Need to check online on this
