We compared two single-arm gas-spring monitor desk mounts: the Invision MX200 Monitor Arm and the BONTEC Single Arm Monitor Desk Mount.
What we looked at
Screen size range, load capacity, and price.
The verdict
If you want a UK-designed arm supporting 19-32 inch screens with tool-free height adjustment, the Invision is the pick at £24.81, though it costs £2.83 more. If you would rather pay less for a wider 13-32 inch screen range with concealed cable management and a 30,000-cycle durability test, the BONTEC is the value option, at £21.98.
