The function of a Monitor Arm can be summed up with height adjustability and flexibility.  Addition of a Monitor Arm is a cost-effective way to start making your workplace ergonomic.  An arm will allow you to adjust the height of your computer screen in such a way that the top of the monitor is at your eye level and it is at an arm’s length from you. According to ergonomists, this is the ideal display position, which will let your neck, shoulder and eyes operate in a stress-free zone.  Most of the desktop computers have monitors that come with a stand, which takes up space on a desk. But a Monitor Arm raises the monitor away from or above the desk, leaving desk space for non-computer work.

 

So when is a Monitor Arm most useful? Many people want to have an ergonomic solution for their offices but would rather not get rid of their existing setup. Usually these desks are not at an optimal height. When someone is short they have to lean back in order to see the screen. Likewise, when someone is too tall for a desk they have to slump in order to see the screen. Desks are not built for varying body types and we do not live in a one-size-fits-all world when it comes to office furniture.  Think about the amount of hours in a day where someone has to sit in these uncomfortable positions. This ends up creating many health risks including lower back, shoulder, neck pain and strained eyesight.

Monitor Arms can be installed on a desk or even on a wall. For those with fancy desks, who do not want to drill a hole into their furniture, a desk clamp is available that attaches an arm to the back of the desk. Many desks come with a pre-drilled hole, which requires a Grommet mount, for the arm to be installed. Wall mounted Monitor Arms are important for hospitals and educational institutes and can be installed with the help of wall mounting brackets.

Did you know that you have the ability to double, treble, quadruple this flexibility? How? By buying a monitor arm that mounts two, three, four, six or even eight monitors. Jon Peddie Research estimates that multiple displays increase productivity by 42%. Apart from the benefit over a period of time, just try adding a second monitor to your existing setup – you’ll never ever go back to a single monitor. Monitor Arms that mount multiple displays are a must-have for graphic designers, audio, video professionals and data analysts.

 

The health of our employees depends on implementing these ergonomic adjustments. Ultimately workers will be more productive and feel better throughout their workday when they are sitting, or standing with a proper posture. A monitor arm will help immensely in terms of a solution for the colorful and eclectic workforce in your office.
