Why a Monitor Arm is Essential for Ergonomic Working

In a world where we spend more and more hours behind a screen, an ergonomic workplace is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. One of the most underestimated, yet impactful adjustments to your workplace? The monitor arm.

What is a monitor arm?

A monitor arm is an adjustable support for your screen that you attach to your desk. Instead of your screen being on a stand, it hangs in the air, so you can position it exactly as you like.

The benefits of a monitor arm

1. Better posture
With a monitor arm you place the screen at eye level, which prevents neck and back problems. No more bent neck, no more hunched posture — but a straight back and relaxed shoulders.

2. More space on your desk
Monitor arms literally give your work surface back. Because the monitor 'floats' off the desk, you have more space for documents, notes or a second screen.

3. Flexible and adjustable
Do you work standing and sitting? Then a monitor arm is ideal. You can easily adjust the height, depth and angle of your screen. Also useful for collaboration or presentations.

4. Professional appearance
A tidy, minimalistic workspace exudes calm and professionalism. Ideal for office spaces or video meetings with clients.

Who is a monitor arm suitable for?

• Home workers who want to turn their kitchen table into a full-fledged workplace.
• Lawyers, accountants and consultants who work long hours behind the screen.
• Companies that want to invest in their staff in an ergonomically responsible way.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a monitor arm?

• VESA compatibility : Does the arm fit your screen?
• Load Capacity : How heavy is your monitor?
• Freedom of movement : Do you want height adjustment only or full flexibility (pivot, tilt, rotation)?
• Number of screens : There are arms for one or more screens.
• Mounting : Do you want to clamp or mount through the desk?
