How to Choose a Dual Monitor Arm: Compatibility Checklist
Share
A dual monitor arm should be chosen from the monitor and desk specifications—not from appearance alone. Use this checklist before ordering or drilling anything.
1. Confirm monitor size
The current Viva Elite arm is listed for screens from 13 to 32 inches. Size is only the first filter; a compatible mounting pattern and supported monitor weight are still required.
2. Confirm VESA compatibility
Check the mounting-hole pattern on the back of each monitor against the exact current arm documentation. Do not assume that all 13–32-inch monitors use the same VESA pattern.
3. Verify weight capacity
The live Viva product record does not currently provide a sufficiently verified per-arm supported weight. Confirm that limit in the manual or package before mounting either display.
4. Check the desk
The Viva arm includes both C-clamp and grommet options. Verify desk thickness, material, edge shape, hole location and structural strength for the mounting method you plan to use.
5. Plan movement and cables
The product lists tilt, swivel and rotation plus integrated cable routing. Leave enough cable slack for the full movement you actually use and keep cables away from pinch points.
