I originally purchased the Ergotron 45-174-300 Neo-Flex LCD Arm-Extension Grommet Desk Mount for use with my Dell 2408 monitor, hoping the lower-cost Neo-flex would suit my needs since my monitor was under the supported weight limit. Unfortunately, the Neo-flex felt wobbly and flimsy, even with all the adjustments tightened, and I wasn't willing to trust my expensive monitor on it. I moved the Neo-flex over for use with my 22" monitor, where it works perfectly, and ordered the more expensive LX Desk Mount arm.

The difference between the two products was apparent as soon as I opened the box. The LX arm is a much more solid product, with more options, expansions, and adjustments. With the Neo-flex arm, I was able to put my 24" monitor close to where I wanted it, with the LX arm I can get it in exactly the right place for the most comfortable viewing. While it sounds counter-intuitive, I used the included extension to get the monitor slightly lower and farther back on the desk.

The options for motion and adjustment seem endless, I can tilt the monitor for better viewing if I'm standing at my desk, or swing it to the side and around if I need to reach the back connections to plug in additional cables.

I have this arm mounted on a Legaré 60" x 47" Corner Desk using the cable management grommet in the corner of the desk.

What a great product!! Very easy set up. Easy to use. Makes any work station more ergo friendly. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who works on a computer more than an hour a day!

This is a rock solid monitor arm. This is my third purchase of an Ergotron product and I have never been disappointed. Their products are quality built and perform as advertised. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I have a 19" LCD monitor that doubles as a TV...so the monitor needs to be moved quite frequently. This product enables the monitor to be moved around quite effortlessly.

Setup is a breeze, and the up/down tilt tension can be adjusted accordingly to how heavy the screen is.

Now that I am used to having my LCD mounted on this arm extension, I cannot imagine not having one.

The product works great! Used it with a 22" Samsung LCD. It allows me to move the monitor at angles that could not be reached without this arm. It moves easily yet will stay in place. Highly recommended.
