I tried getting a couple arms for my desk, but they required 8 inches of clearance behind the desk for the monitors to be at a reasonable distance from my face

I tried getting a couple arms for my desk, but they required 8 inches of clearance behind the desk for the monitors to be at a reasonable distance from my face and my desk is backed up to a wall
- luckystarr 3y agoJust mount the pole off-center, then you can get around the clearance problem somewhat. I only have one monitor mounted centrally, and my laptop to the side on the second arm. The desk is almost flush to the wall at 2cm (~1 inch) and the monitor and laptop are around 15cm (~6 inches) away from the wall.
- jhugo 3y agoYeah, I had 3x 32" monitors mounted on arms (one twin arm and one single arm) on a desk pushed almost right up to the wall this way. The arms can go sideways in one direction and then sideways in the other right behind the monitor, as long as the base is not centred.
- prawn 3y agoThis is my problem also. I have a shallow desk (2') and then the mount intrudes the displays enough that I can't push my laptop back or tilt it as far as I sometimes need. Further, the riser isn't tall enough so my screens hang about an inch below my laptop display. If I was more confident that my work area wouldn't change in the future, I'd try an extendable wall mount. I probably should do that anyway.
- ornornor 3y agoAh yes, i always get deep desks for myself so the arm can be flush with the wall because the monitors need to stick out further to be at arms length.
