How do I determine the right size and type of stand or mount for my monitor?

The biggest thing you’ll want to consider when it comes to finding the right size monitor stand is the size of your monitor. Based on the size of your computer monitor, you can decide if you want more space available on the stand to hold other items, such as speakers or a mouse pad.

When using a monitor mount, you’ll want to consider how many monitors you are mounting and the configuration.

Can I use your monitor stands for multiple monitors?

Oftentimes, having multiple monitors can enhance your workflow, and some monitor stands can hold multiple monitors. In fact, some stands can arrange up to four monitors in different configurations.
