Anyone used Ergotron?
-
I am thinking of changing things at home so I can use my PC or a laptop without ending up at a deks in the evening as well as during the day, has anyone used Ergotron[^] equipment before or have an alternative that is available in the UK? Thanks.

If they are the manufacturer I think they are (the products look the same), many years ago. Back then the counterbalanced arms capable of holding a base unit and monitor (14" CRT) were so heavy that they could only be used on substantial desks, otherwise the weight would tip the desk over. :laugh: True. They were very good though, large range of movement and positioning.

I have a pair of the LX arm mounts. One is holding up the substantial weight of a 30" Samsung. Had to use a few strategically placed zip ties to keep the panel itself from drooping forward, but the arm holds it up just fine. Good quality, quite sturdy. Best piece of non-computer computer equipment I've ever invested in. Don't know if it applies to the rest of their line-up such as the carts and stands, though if that's what you were looking at.

Yes, it's the same company. The old units could hold heavy monitors, but were heavy themselves and difficult to move the position. And they were expensive. We attached them to the electronics rack in manufacturing equipment where they worked fairly well. The new units we now use are similar in function, but work better. They are designed for LCD monitors. Very nice, light, easy to move, they have a handle just below the keyboard tray so you can move the whole contraption to where you want it. I have never used them at a desk, or sitting, I've always used them standing at equipment, but with that disclaimer, I recommend them.
