Monitor Stands & Mounts

Monitor stands have become essential desk accessories as more people focus on creating comfortable and ergonomic workspaces. They serve a simple but crucial purpose: lifting your computer screen to the proper height for better posture and reducing neck strain.

Beyond basic ergonomics, modern monitor stands come with features that help maximise desk space and keep your workspace organised. You'll find options ranging from simple fixed-height platforms to adjustable arms that let you move your screen in virtually any direction. Some include built-in storage solutions, cable management, or extra USB ports.

Whether you're setting up a home office, or gaming station, or want to improve your current desk setup, the right monitor stand can make a big difference in both comfort and productivity. They can help create a cleaner desk setup by lifting monitors off the desk surface, and creating usable space underneath for keyboards, documents, or other items you need close at hand.

Types of Monitor Stands

Fixed Height Stands

These are simple platforms that lift your monitor to a set height. They're typically made of wood, metal, or acrylic and often include storage space underneath. They're stable, straightforward, and usually the most affordable option.

Adjustable Height Stands

Similar to fixed stands but with legs or platforms you can manually adjust to different heights. They offer more flexibility but still maintain the simplicity of a platform-style stand.

Monitor Arms/Mounts

These clamp to your desk or mount through a grommet hole and offer the most flexibility. You can adjust height, angle, tilt, and often swivel your monitor 360 degrees. They're great for shared workspaces or if you frequently change positions.

Dual/Multiple Monitor Stands

Come in both fixed and adjustable styles but are specifically designed to hold two or more monitors. They help keep multiple screens aligned and save desk space.

Monitor Risers with Features

These are platform-style stands that include extra functionality like:

• Built-in USB hubs

• Wireless charging pads

• Storage drawers

• Cable management solutions

• Phone/tablet stands

Wall-Mounted Stands

These attach directly to your wall, completely freeing up desk space. They're permanent solutions that work well in smaller spaces but require proper installation.

Difference Between Monitor Stands, Monitor Mounts & Monitor Arm

Monitor stands are simple platforms that sit on your desk and elevate your monitor to a fixed height. Think of them like a small table for your screen. They're stable and don't require any installation, but they take up more desk space and offer limited adjustability. They typically have a solid base and often include useful features like:

• Storage space underneath

• Built-in drawers or compartments

• Cable management slots

• USB hubs or charging stations

Monitor mounts attach to your monitor via VESA mounting holes and typically attach to your desk through either a clamp or a grommet hole. They free up desk space, allow for height adjustments, and often include tilt and swivel functions.

Monitor arms like mounts, attach to both your monitor and desk, but they include articulating joints that allow for maximum flexibility. Monitor arms let you:

• Adjust your screen position in almost any direction

• Easily switch between landscape and portrait orientation

• Move your monitor completely out of the way when needed

• Change positions quickly for different users or tasks

• They offer the most freedom of movement but might require more initial setup and can be more expensive.
