Monitor Mounting with the Rosewill Dual Arm Mount

2014-02-07
hey guys Jay Stu sense here if you remember from my room tour I showed you guys that I have a 27 inch monitor here that is on an articulating arm so I can do stuff like that with it but what you can also see is I have a second monitor over here that is not on an articulating arm and quite frankly that bugs the ever living crap out of me so what we're going to look at today is a solution to get both of my monitors up off of my desk so that we can have so much more room for activities now in order to achieve that we are going to be taking a look at the Rosewill our HMS - one one zero zero three dual monitor arm it says it supports between 13 to 27 inch monitors which has kind of been my challenge I found a lot of dual monitor arms that only go as high as 24 inches that I have a 27 inch and a 24 inch monitor over there which was kind of creating a little bit of a problem for me now one of the other problems I was coming across is that to find a dual monitor arm that supported these sized screens that I have I was looking at some pretty expensive options when it comes to the packaging of this thing clearly it's no frills I mean it's got the label on there and that is pretty much it in fact the instructions that come with it are literally one-page I mean it's really really self explanatory so I'm going to show you what comes in the box and I talked about how the build quality feels then we're going to throw both monitors on it and give you my opinion on whether or not this is a good solution for you guys because quite honestly this is very very inexpensive now inside the box here it's pretty basic I mean they don't spend a lot of time giving you all sorts of just stuff you don't care about right on the top you've got a little box here that's tough both of your visa mounts in there that's a important thing to point out is you have to make sure that your monitors support the VESA mount my monitors are visa 100 millimeter which this does support as well as the other size can't remember off the top of my head with that other sizes yeah I'm pretty bad at this whole tech thing so anyways you get both of these constructionwise I'm not sure what the kind of metal it is it clearly is a cast metal it's not like billet or machined it does feel like it's cast but it also feels really sturdy so I'm not worried about it breaking I mean after all these monitors are not very heavy I'm you get the desk mount here which is got some rube on on it for pretty thick desk I mean holy crap I mean look at this they really anticipate you having a hard time getting out of a plastic here because well this is me we're talking look at the thickness of that so you have your little twist you know thing there but it's got rubber both on the plunger part that screws against the part that mounts to your desk I like the fact that it's rubber on there my monoprice mount that I have here does not really have very much padding on there so it can scratch the desk again build quality looks pretty good this is the part that mounts to your desk you've got your hard way here from your bushings here for mounting it to your monitors and then you have the most important part and there's nothing else in the box by the way which is the actual articulating part right there let me check that out so when it comes to mounting these you literally mount these to the monitor and then you drop the monitor right down in there that's it I mean it does look like has a little hole here that you could put a piece of hardware through there look at this any right here it looks like you could put a clip on there to keep it from coming out but honestly once you set it down in there it's not going anywhere guys it's a monitor alright so that's it that's everything it's in the box let's go ahead and mount it up I know let you know if it fits and we'll find out together so stay tuned oh yeah and don't forget guys it it does articulate that's kind of the important part right yeah well there she is all put together and honestly I have to say it's pretty damn easy I mean really it's just attach the brackets to the monitors attach the articulating arm to the mounting pole after you mount that to the desk and then screw it down that's all there is to it I like the fact that the monitors themselves are on a ball and the ball has three adjustable spring tensions on there so you can adjust how tight it is when it comes to tilt and rotate that way doesn't sag down over time all in all the quality feels pretty good I mean it's not wobbly I mean of course it's going to have some wobble to it because you have to monitor arm or two monitors extending off of a single mounting point so you are going to have a little bit of a little bit of wobble there but honestly it's not bad at all and given the fact that it's only 69 bucks at the time of filming this review I challenge you to find a better articulating monitor arm that can fit a twenty seven and a twenty four in such a manner which allows me to not have to leave them parallel but I have the 24 inch curved inward that way I have kind of a surround thing going you'll notice the pole is off to the side because I want my 27 in front of me and my 24 off to the side so the pole is not centered but it's nice to get both monitors up off the desk because now I can have more desk space push things under the monitor just kind of have more room to expand out and I like a nice tidy workspace the routing of the cables was nice and easy through the built-in cable routing function that's built into the arms and all-in-all it's really not so bad the only downside I really think it's going to annoy me over time is it has kind of a real gritty finish and that gritty finish is going to attract dust in there and it's going to be really difficult to dust it because it's not going to want to let go of it so that's kind of a downside since it's a real cast metal kind of texture to it like it almost feels like a bed liner of a truck it's really the kind of best way to describe it if you guys are interested in checking out this monitor the link is down in the description it's going to take you to new wake because that's where this monitor arm is available I feel this is a good monitor arm I'm going to be using it and I have no doubt that this is going to hold my monitors up with no problems whatsoever and it's going to give me a lot of life at least until I get a third monitor which I'll have to find a try monitor mount so guys it's been Jays two cents tell me what you think about this monitor arm for 69 bucks at the time of filming it's going to be hard to find another one that's as good as this one guys when we get on out of here make sure you check out my other videos I have on the channel and I got some exciting things coming up here in the future I will see you guys in my next video
