The best of these is the Vari Dual-Monitor Arm, which is well-designed and strong and supports two monitors of up to 27 inches each. Sometimes you need a little more screen real-estate, and in that situation a dual monitor arm is worth going for. Of course, even though the arm is relatively cheap-feeling, that’s kind of the point – it is much less expensive than the other options, and if you’re a student or could simply stand to save a few bucks, it’ll easily get the job done. The range of motion is a little limited compared to the other options too – though unless you need your monitor particularly high, I think most people will find the range of height perfectly adequate. I never felt like it wasn’t going to hold the monitor I mounted to it, but the materials and build certainly didn’t feel as premium as the other options on this list, and I wouldn’t necessarily want to mount a 30-inch monitor to this arm long-term. The Amazon Basics Monitor Stand is cheap, and it feels a little cheap. This monitor arm may not look or feel as premium as the likes of the Herman Miller Jarvis, but it gets all the basics right, allowing you to mount a monitor up to 30 inches. Those looking for a monitor arm on a budget should go for the Amazon Basics Monitor Stand. Regardless of the model you get, you’ll get a lift range of 13 inches. Most will be perfectly happy with the standard-height pole. The taller pole will allow you to mount your monitor higher up, however of course, not everyone will need this. The LX Desk Monitor is available in two variants, with the difference being the pole size that attaches to the desk. The arm is still well-designed (though I don’t like the look as much as the Jarvis), and should look great on any desk. There are more adjustments to this arm than the Jarvis, and it’ll take you a few extra minutes to set up – but that’s because of the fact that it has a slightly different build to allow for larger monitor sizes. The monitor arm is relatively easy to use, and I was able to install it with the tools provided in the box. This monitor arm supports monitors up to 34 inches, which is a little larger than some of the others on this list, plus it has a wider range of motion for easier positioning. If you want a monitor arm that steps things up a little in overall build and features, the Ergotron LX Desk Monitor Arm is worth considering. The main drawback to this monitor arm over others is the fact that it’s a little more expensive than many of the other options, but when you set it up you’ll be able to see why. If you have a particularly large monitor, like some of the recent ultrawide models, you will need to look at a different option. It comes in one of three colors, and supports monitors up to 32 inches - so all small and standard-sized monitors will work perfectly fine. In particular, this option offers a large range of motion, so if your setup isn't as traditional as others, this might suit you. The monitor is very adjustable once it’s set up, so you can easily raise or lower your monitor. I found the cable management tools relatively easy to use – they come off and re-attach easily, allowing you to easily hide your display and power cables. I was able to set it up completely using the included allen wrench, however in some setup situations you’ll need a screwdriver. There are components in the box for a clamp-style or grommet-style setup. The Jarvis Single Monitor Arm comes with easy-to-follow instructions, and I was able to set it up in around 20 minutes or so. It’s well-designed and offers a range of features, plus it’s relatively easy to set up.

The Herman Miller Jarvis Single Monitor Arm is the best do-it-all monitor arm for most people.
