2015-02-21
this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service hey guys Ibrahim with hurricane axe and if you had the means to get yourself set up with a multi-monitor array for extra productivity and pixels you'd know the challenges that may arise of having large monitor stands in a confined desk space especially if you need to fit two or three monitors on the desk the solution of the problem is mounting two monitors onto a single monitor arm that features a dual arm flexible system so today we're taking a look at the Silverstone AR m 22 SC dual interactive arm stand that comes into the market at around 220 dollars I have to mention the packaging of the arm stand is outstanding with organized layout of each part to assemble the arm silverstone also included some accessories like two allen keys and different sized and length screws this is a clamp type mount meaning if you have been looking for space saving methods this is it measuring at about 6 inches wide and 4 inches in depth here's a comparison between the clamp and my HTC One it is using couple of heavy-duty knobs that are large enough for manual adjustment and all you have to do is tighten it according to the thickness of the desk and the clamp support steps from 8 millimeters all the way up to 50 millimeters this is an excellent range for a variety of desk types the bottom of the steel clan comes with a nice layer of foam to avoid unnecessary marks on the desk which is good to see the build quality of the LCD arm screams quality the aluminum frame comes with an appealing shiny coating along with the Silverstone logo that really defines the true craftsmanship that was put into building this arm I have to mention the assembly process was a total breeze first there's a support a bracket that comes with the dual knobs that are attached to the base we have four hex screws then I screwed the large black pole into the insert that's on the base clamp and use a 2.5 millimeter allen key to secure the pole the wire management adaptor is attached to the pole along with the arm secure block which is secured by a 2.5 millimeter hex screw this gives users the flexibility when it comes to cable management and height adjustment but a cable channel is built into the LCD arms for stealth routing and that is a very important element to keep the entire system clutter-free the vase amount on each arm supports both 175 millimeter mounting options with a swivel adjust of plus or minus 90 degrees tilt adjust has a maximum of plus 90 degrees and minus 20 degrees this model can support dual panels up to 24 inches only at 2 to 10 kilograms on each arm however with many 27 inch monitors weighing less than 10 kilos the arm would technically support dual 27-inch panels as long as you remain within the weight limit you might encounter positional limitations with larger displays but the structure is meant to support it but since I used 2 24 inch panels compatibility was not a problem there is a built-in resistance adjustment behind the base amount on the secondary arm to help you either loosen the spring for easier movement or tighten it for heavier panels the included screws inside the monitor mounts were used to secure the LCD arms on silverstone includes extra screws just in cakes I did the same on my other monitor and last step was to carefully place them on the rotational arm the built-in 5 millimeter hex screw was used to secure the entire construction I took some time to adjust to my eye level for comfort and the final result is an outstanding spacing saving solution that now offers significantly better movement flexibility plus 90 degree rotation is possible on your vase amounts for portrait viewing a few things to keep in mind is the distance from the wall if you plan to rotate the main arm around the pole and once everything is set up the entire system is very heavy and repositioning the base clamp will require you to take off the monitors so in conclusion silverstone has crafted an outstanding product integration of steel and aluminum and the elegant black silver color scheme should suit office or home use no problem the setup was not complicated monitor size and weight compatibility should suit most needs although official support for larger panels would have been nice positional and rotational movements is where the product shines not only this is a space-saving tool for dual display setup but tilt swivel and height adjustment are all awesome and right cable routing implementations are welcome and while the price is a bit high it's still competitive to other clamp style dual monitor arm solutions and we're giving it the harbor connects Dan get award so thank you so much for watching our video make sure to subscribe for more similar content and give us a like if you found this review helpful and as always we'll see you in the next one
