Desk monitor mounts are arms and stands that hold one or several screens at a desk, for home and office workstations. Our range has over 600 models, from simple single-monitor arms to stands for four or six screens. Brands include NEOMOUNTS, ERGOTRON, EQUIP and ONKRON.
How to choose a desk monitor mount
Number of screens. Most of our mounts hold one monitor and many are made for two, while some carry three, four or even six screens. A multi-monitor mount takes up less space than several separate stands, but it needs a sturdier and deeper desk.
VESA pattern and weight. Most of our mounts fit monitors with a 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 mm hole pattern, which is the most common standard. Some models also support larger patterns such as 200 x 200 or 400 x 400 mm. Look at the hole spacing on the back of your monitor and compare its weight with the load the mount is rated for.
Fixing to the desk. A clamp grips the desk edge and needs no drilling. A grommet or bolt-through fitting is more stable, but it requires a hole or drilling. A freestanding base suits desks you cannot modify. Measure the desk thickness and check that there is room under the edge for the clamp.
Height adjustment and rotation. The height can be changed on most of our mounts, and many let you rotate the screen through 360°. That helps when you want a monitor in portrait mode for coding or documents, or when you want to show something to a colleague. Arms with a gas spring let you reposition the screen with one hand.

Frequently asked questions about desk monitor mounts
How do I know if a mount will fit my monitor?
Check three things: whether the monitor has VESA holes, what the hole spacing is, and how much the monitor weighs. The spacing is most often 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 mm. The mount's specification lists its maximum load and supported screen size, and you should stay within both.
Can I attach a monitor mount to a glass desk?
Not always, because a clamp presses on a small area and the glass can crack. With a glass desk, choose a freestanding stand or a fitting with a reinforcing plate, following the manufacturer's instructions. Also make sure the desktop can carry the weight of the mount and the monitors.
How many monitors can one mount hold?
It depends on the model. Most mounts are made for one or two monitors, but there are also versions for three, four and six. Check the weight of each monitor and the width of your desk before choosing. The more screens you add, the more important a sturdy desk becomes.
What is the difference between a clamp and a grommet mount?
A clamp squeezes the desk edge from above and below, so it is quick to install and needs no drilling. A grommet mount uses a hole in the desktop, or bolts through it, which holds the arm more firmly and keeps the edge clear. Many models let you choose either method.
