Ergonomic/Health Benefits: Sitting at a desk may seem like a pretty harmless act, however, if you are working for lengthy amounts of time at a desk staring a screen (which in today's world a lot of us do), then how you sit and position yourself every day can affect your health and well-being.
If you have to look at a screen that is higher or lower than your natural line of sight, your head and neck will naturally crane the same way. This will then have a knock-on effect on your overall posture as your spine and shoulders will all be positioned unnaturally and uncomfortably. Over time sitting like this can cause pain, discomfort and long-term health problems. It can also put unnecessary strain on the eyes, which can ultimately have a knock-on effect on your well-being, energy and productivity.
Ensuring your monitor/s are at the right level can help to reduce orthopaedic/back pain that can occur from poorly positioned monitor screens, as well as ensuring you work as productively as possible. Once you have your screen/s elevated to the optimal level you are sure to see and feel a vast improvement.

No matter what screen/s you have, what kind of desk you have, we will have a desk mount to suit.

Space Saving: Another great advantage of having a screen support like the DMUSB5X1 is that it takes up very little room on the desk top. It lifts the monitor off of the surface and, in doing so, frees up space on your desk which can be better utilised in more important ways.

DMUSB5X1: Installation

Setting this screen mount up on your desk couldn’t be simpler to do. The clamp slides onto the back of the desk and is tightened with the bolt until it stands securely. Fixing a screen onto the stand is a simple procedure because the head accepts screens with VESA 75/100 standard which make them suitable for all PC monitors and the majority of TV screens too. All of this installation is done with 2 tools: an Allen key (provided) and a Phillips Screwdriver (not included).
