Single vs. Dual Monitor Arms vs. Monitor Stands – Which Should You Choose?

Not sure if you need a single monitor arm, dual monitor arm, or monitor stand? Compare adjustability, features, and use cases to find the best ergonomic solution.

If you spend hours at your desk, you’ve probably felt the strain — stiff neck, sore shoulders, and eye fatigue. One of the simplest ways to fix these issues is by raising your monitor to the correct ergonomic height. But with so many options — from single monitor arms to dual arms to monitor stands — how do you know which one is right for you?

In this guide, we’ll break down the pros, cons, and best uses for each, so you can make the right choice for your workspace.

Option 1: Single Monitor Arm (with USB)

A single monitor arm is perfect if you use one display and want maximum flexibility. Ours is built from steel for durability, supports monitors up to 20 lbs, and includes full-motion adjustability:

• Tilt, swivel, pan, and rotate to your ideal angle
• Raise and lower easily to match your sitting or standing position
• Integrated USB ports make charging devices or connecting peripherals seamless
  

Best for:

• Professionals working on one main screen
• Standing desk users who need frequent height adjustments
• Home office setups that need charging convenience
  
  

Option 2: Dual Monitor Arm

If your work demands multiple screens, a dual monitor arm is a game-changer. This model supports two monitors up to 20 lbs each and lets you position them independently. With full-motion adjustability, you can align screens side by side, stack them, or angle them for multitasking.

Best for:

• Designers, developers, traders, or anyone juggling multiple programs
• Power users who need maximum screen real estate
• Standing desk setups where both monitors need to rise smoothly
  
  

Unlike cheap arms that wobble or sag, our steel construction ensures stability and long-term durability.
