HUANUO Dual Monitor Wall Mount with Gas Spring Arms - 17-32 Inch Computer Screen Mount (4.4-17.6lbs Per Arm) - VESA 75x75/100x100 Height Adjustable Stand for Dual Monitors - Home Office Desk Setup

I have previously owned a desk-mounted Huanuo monitor arm and needed to switch to a wall-mounted setup. I owned the desk-mounted arm throughout the interminable Covid pandemic and it was great, so naturally I chose to stay with Huanuo for the wall mount.The arm itself is excellent and I recommend it---it's just as good as the c-clamp desk mounted version. I have two 24-inch monitors attached.Installation was fine. Given the reviews, I was expecting to need to draw my own template and purchase additional mounting hardware, but as it turns out they have added a precut template and more mounting hardware to avoid these issues. That was a pleasant surprise and I am glad to see Huanuo responds to customer feedback.I experienced two issues: One of my own making and one inherent in the product, First, I did not realize this mount was not compatible with steel studs. Many new build apartment buildings use steel studs instead of wood studs because of their fire resistance (along with other nice features). Because steel studs are typically narrower than wood studs, and because toggle bolts require approximately half inch holes to mount, I did not see a way to sturdily attach the mount to the steel studs without an uncomfortable chance of accidentally cutting one face of the stud in half with the drill bit. This was my own fault.Instead I anchored a 4.5 foot fence post to a concrete block and fastened the monitor arms to post. This, while not the prettiest thing I've ever made, is working fine. In doing so, I discovered that the provided lag screws are not of great quality. The manual recommends installing with them a socket wrench, but this would be a giant PITA, so I first used a socket adapter in my drill to get them most of the way in and then hand-tightened at the end. There is no way you'd be able to use a standard Phillips head drill bit without stripping the provided screws.Even with the socket adapter, the provided lag screws barely got in---the screws are quite soft and the indent that marks where the screws are fastened means you get maybe a quarter inch of grip on the head to drive it into the wood. This is a pain but not a disaster---I would recommend just buying your own lag screws of comparable size (size given in manual) and use those instead.Additionally, a very minor annoyance is that one of the thumb screws meant to keep the monitor in the bracket was a little too large (the other fit perfectly). I think its something like a #6 machine screw; I had something lying around that fit and used that instead. No biggie.tl;dr: great mount, subpar mounting hardware but that is easy to get on your own.

So I read a crap-ton of other reviews of this and other products. For context, the setup I was after (and what I was able to do), was run two laptops into two Dell D6000 docks with a USB/KM switch to the two docks so I could bounce back and forth my keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc. between the two computers at the push of a button and this setup was perfect. The desk I have cannot handle the weight of a huge stand plus (4) monitors.Bought two of these so I could mount the two monitors for each computer. Setup was honestly pretty easy. You'll note, and I think other reviewers have noted, that if you're going for my look, the monitors WILL be off the wall a solid foot, and there's nothing you can do about it, at least with these 22" monitors. Perhaps if you were using two very large monitors you'd have to push the arms back to get them side by side but as you'll see in the pictures, this is what it took to get me setup. For me, I could care less about the extension distance from the wall. I got the setup I wanted.Somehow I was able to do the install by myself. Use a stud finder if possible, otherwise, I used 16 OC from the whiteboard above and up from the electrical box below. Intersected the lines and no issues. When installing, try and get them completely level but don't freak out if they aren't level because you can adjust the monitors rotate left/right a little bit if it's an issue. I used a drill bit in one hand, pinned the mount on the wall with a level on top with my other hand, and then scraped the three holes so I knew where to drill. Drilled pilot holes and then set the screws and mounts in place. After a little bit I HAD to use a ratchet to snug it up and get it all the way to the wall as the impact/drill just couldn't keep going. Make sure you get the mount all the way to the wall and it's snugged up nice. The lag bolts were perfect, thankfully I nailed my pilot holes so all (3) holes for each mount were exactly on the stud (thank God).All in all, very very sturdy. I made a few minimal adjustments to the tension screws for the monitors. The cable management for the mounts was pretty nifty, I still need to velcro down all my cables for everything else but I might wall mount my docking stations and laptops, so we'll see.In all, you'll be glad you got this. I do a lot of IT work and wondered if I needed a painted plywood backer board on the wall and that's completely unnecessary. All in all, great gear, and I'm thrilled to have my dream setup.

I needed a convenient work from home space but didn’t want a desk cluttered with cables and monitors. This monitor mount was the ideal solution for keeping my desk space clear and allowing me to work in several configurations.I definitely recommend mounting to a stud if you are able. I strongly discourage anyone from using drywall screws with this product. You would be far better off using toggle bolts if you can’t mount to a stud.My only complaint with this product is there doesn’t appear to be a way to adjust the horizontal shift of the monitor position leaving a gap between my screens.To push the monitors together I have to bring them to where they sit too far forward where it’s a little too close for comfort—although it’s a plus if you slouch while working because if forces you to sit back.I would appreciate if there was a bracket or some additional accessory available that could make this functionality possible.Even so, I’ve found numerous comfortable positions for working but nothing that centers both screens. I’ve found other wall mounted solutions that do offer horizontal adjustment but they were several times more costly at $200+.All in all this is a good product that functions well.
