They hold until the spring relaxes, and then the monitor sinks a little further every few weeks. A gas spring keeps its pressure in a sealed cylinder: lift the screen, lower it, pull it toward you, push it back against the wall, and it stops where your hand stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull motion, one hand\u003c\/strong\u003e — height, depth, tilt and rotation all adjust without tools and without re-tightening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed gas spring, 4.4 to 22 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e — counterbalance holds steady over the life of the arm rather than fading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits 13 to 32 in screens\u003c\/strong\u003e — covers the common 24 and 27 in panels and most 32 in displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTilt of plus or minus 90 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e — rotates to portrait for code, documents and long pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminium alloy construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — matte black throughout, including the joint covers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesk clamp mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — fixes to the rear edge of the desk.

Check the panel weight on your monitor's spec sheet. A monitor with no mounting holes needs a separate VESA adapter bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gas spring needs a minimum load to work against. Below 4.4 lb the arm will drift upward on its own, so a very light 13 in panel is a poor match for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill this monitor arm fit my monitor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fits screens from 13 to 32 inches weighing 4.4 to 22 lb, with a standard VESA hole pattern on the back. Measure the distance between the four holes in millimetres and check your monitor's weight on its spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to drill into my desk?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The arm uses a C-clamp that tightens onto the rear edge of the desk. Nothing is drilled and nothing is permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between a gas spring arm and a normal one?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA normal arm uses a tension spring you set with an Allen key, and that spring relaxes over time, so the monitor slowly sinks. A gas spring holds its pressure in a sealed cylinder and keeps the same counterbalance for the life of the arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I turn the monitor to portrait?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The head tilts through plus or minus 90 degrees, so the screen rotates to portrait for code, documents and long pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMy monitor has no VESA holes. Can I still use it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot on its own. You need a separate VESA adapter bracket that clamps around the monitor and provides the mounting holes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caliper Desk","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":58436733927807,"sku":"210190015:3327837#Black","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/6899\/2895\/files\/1_b891aa6b-8732-4010-b07f-65e237df89af.jpg?v=1789659099","url":"https:\/\/caliperdesk.com\/products\/gas-spring-monitor-arm","provider":"CaliperDesk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
