Summary

In our test, the Invision MX400 Dual Monitor Arm stood out for its flexibility, smooth handling, and solid build quality. It supports monitors between 13 and 32 inches and held even heavier screens securely in place. Thanks to the gas spring system, adjusting height, tilt, and angle was easy and precise. The included mounting system felt stable and worked well with different desk types.

One thing to note is that, due to its wide range of motion, the arm setup requires a bit of space behind the desk. In tighter work areas, this could limit flexibility slightly.
