Get the sleek, streamlined look you want in a monitor lifter with the Humanscale M2 Monitor Arm.
Thinner than most arms at just over 1 inch thick, the M2 is fingertip-adjustable and Mac-compatible with an adapter. The M2 monitor arm is remarkably durable and long lasting, and is lighter than most LCD arms.

Good quality
Lightweight, but good build quality. Arms are easily adjusted to get perfect height/angle. Expensive, but I'm happy with them.

Satisfied
I very happy with everything about this except I wish it went higher. You'll have to be sure it will go high enough for you or work out some way to mount it higher. This is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. After using it for a month I feel like it's a high-quality well-designed device and looks like it will last a long time. I love that.
One warning: if you buy direct from manufacturer you will have to wait a week or two before they actually ship it. It does say this on the website, but I didn't see it before I ordered. -
M2 monitor arm is working great!
I saw that this arm won the NeoCon award for best monitor arm so I went ahead and bought it based on that. I'm happy to say that this beautiful monitor arm holds my LCD monitor exactly where I effortlessly move it to. It is so much easier to adjust than my last arm. My desk is now more usable as I can get my monitor in the optimal position or push it out of the way when not needed.
This product comes standard with a 15-year warranty.
