Humanscale M7 LCD Monitor Arm - Build Your Own 1 Monitor Solution
Most monitor arms will allow you to place your monitor in the best possible viewing position, but the Humanscale M7 LCD Monitor Arm offers far more. Its sleek styling and minimal parts makes the M7 monitor arm easy to set-up and use. The Humanscale M7 LCD monitor mount offers the ultimate in flexibility when designing a monitor arm solution for one or more monitors- whether you need an arm that will mount to your desk, your wall or an accessory rail. Humanscale also offers a variety of optional tools, such as laptop and phone holders, so your M7 LCD arm can be used to free up additional desk space.
The Humanscale M7 LCD Monitor Arm is totally modular, as is the Humanscale's top monitor arm, the Humanscale M4. Parts can often be mixed, retrofitted or replaced, so your monitor arm can be updated as your needs change. Optional accessories that will fit the M7 monitor arm include a laptop computer holder, a keyboard holder and a phone mount; these allow you to use your monitor arm to free up desk space and bring your office all within reach. For the ease of fingertip height adjustment please see the Humanscale M4 Monitor arm.
We are always happy to help configure an arm solution for you.
The Humanscale M7 LCD arm is available in three different finishes. Black and silver are both standard colors. Polished aluminum is an upgrade and adds 10 weeks to the lead time.

If you plan on only mounting one monitor, you have three bracket styles to choose from. T1 is the most popular. The B1 allows for some height adjustment as it can be repositioned on the post. A slim post with a B1 offers maximum "at the post end" height adjustment. The N1 is required for panel or wall mounts where you do not intend to use a post.

Humanscale offers two different styles of arm links - standard, open link and folding link, including two different lengths for the standard link style. Each link allows for lateral (side-to-side) rotation. The 8" folding links can fold back completely with one on top of the other. The M7 arm can also be ordered without any links at all for direct mount applications that do not require the depth of a linked arm. Drawings illustrate total depth of each arm link option.



Humanscale offers six different desk mounting options, plus two wall mount and panel mounts for most accessory rail, slatwall and wall system panels.

Two-piece Universal Wall Stud Mount (WU) A great option for those who don't like visible screw holes. Suitable for single monitor use only. |
Panel mounts enable the user to mount the arm to a slatwall. Note that if you plan on a panel mount and a multiple monitor solution, the brand of panel you have is critical as the universal panel mount will only support one monitor. The term "row" refers to rows of monitors. If you wanted one or more monitors on top of each other, you would mount them in rows.

Humanscale M7 link arms do not offer any height adjustability. There are three ways to add height adjustability.
Standard PostsStandard posts feature a large outer tube and a narrower inner pole that may or may not slide into the larger tube for height adjustment. These posts are heavy duty and great for heavier monitors or multiple monitor configurations but are only available for one row configurations. In other words, they are not suitable for applications where you want one or more monitors above another. Standard posts should be ordered according to the weight of your monitor. Standard posts are only suitable for horizontal mounting. Standard post options include:
Note that which mount you select determines minimum and maximum height range of your M7 arm. Also, height adjustment range will vary depending upon your choice of mount. |
|
Slim PostThe slim post is also designed for mounting on horizontal surfaces and is not height-adjustable but, when used with a bracket mount, the bracket can move up or down the entire length of the slim post providing for easy height adjustment. Slim posts are better for light duty and one-monitor configurations with a maximum monitor weight of 30 pounds. Note: Maximum height is slightly less with a bracket mount. |
|
Stackable PostsStackable posts can be used for multiple monitor configurations where you wish to stack monitors in rows or for a single monitor when you need a taller configuration. Stackable posts can support up to two rows of up to three monitors each. Stackable posts can be used with any mount on a horizontal surface, or with wall and panel mounts.

Humanscale M7 link arms do not offer any height adjustability, so those wishing to adjust their monitor height should consider a Front End Adjuster. Positioned at the front end of the arm (just behind the monitor), an FEA offers the capability to raise and lower monitors easily. An FEA is the easiest way to adjust the height of a monitor. Humanscale's universal FEA comes in silver only and can support up to 30 lbs.
