Dataflex Viewprime Plus dual monitor arm - black

An ode to the Dataflex Viewprime Plus dual monitor arm

Autobots, roll out! So spoke the leader of the Autobots. Now there's a new leader, of monitor arms, that is. Monitor arms, roll out!

Why the Viewprime Plus dual monitor arm?

That's quite a statement! Does it live up to the hype? The answer can be short: Yes! But then you'd still have a lot of questions. So feel free to read on.

Thoughtful design

In 99 out of 100 cases, a monitor arm is attached to the back of the desk. That immediately presents the first challenge. What if your desk is against a wall or there's a partition behind your desk? The Viewprime Plus's design ensures you can still adjust the monitors perfectly.

The depth of the screens can be individually adjusted over a distance of 357 mm and the rotation points can be 'locked' at 180 degrees. This way, the arms do not extend beyond the edge of your desktop. This ensures that when adjusting your desk, you won't give the wall, monitor arms, or partition a new design.

Without this lock, you can, of course, rotate the arms fully around their axis. In addition to rotating, you can also easily swivel, tilt, and pivot your monitors. Speaking of monitors, they can weigh a maximum of 8.5 kilograms each and are easily mounted using the quick-release VESA adapter. It is suitable for both 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm hole patterns.

With monitor arms designed for two screens, it's often a bit of a search for the perfect arm position. You want the screens to be neatly aligned. The Viewprime Plus has solved this problem with its handy monitor sliders. These allow you to easily adjust your screens horizontally. The sliders have a length of 240 mm, allowing it to place two monitors of up to 812 mm wide side-by-side.

Smooth and fast

To make the monitor arms easily and smoothly adjustable, a gas spring has been chosen. The only drawback to this is that the monitors must have a minimum weight of 1.5 kilograms. In practice, however, this is not a problem for the majority of monitors.

You adjust a gas spring once, and then you can adjust the screens' height with one finger. With most monitor arms, adjustment is guesswork, but the Viewprime simply has an indicator that allows you to adjust it perfectly.

For everyone

Thanks to its extensive adjustment options, it is the ideal flexible working partner. With a height range of 355 mm, it is also suitable if you are a bit taller. This is, by the way, the height of the VESA adapter. The top edge of the monitors will therefore be a little higher.

What makes a dual monitor arm so good?

A computer screen usually comes with a stand. This often takes up space on your desk and makes the workspace look cluttered quickly. Furthermore, the height range of such a stand is often insufficient to adjust the screen correctly.

With a dual monitor arm, you can easily place the monitors at the correct working height. This is approximately at eye level when touch-typing (just slightly below, actually). If you can't touch-type yet or wear reading glasses, it's advisable to place the screen a little lower.

By placing your screens at the correct working height, you relieve the strain on your neck, shoulder, and back muscles. You can imagine that this makes your workday a bit more comfortable.

Tidy workspace

The Viewprime features integrated cable guides that allow you to neatly route cables along the monitor arms. Besides looking tidy, this also ensures that you don't pull cables out of the monitor when adjusting the arms.

To clamp, or not to clamp

Many monitor arms often come with a variety of mounting brackets. You often only use one and throw the rest away or store it in one of your drawers for the next 10 years. Very environmentally conscious. Ahem! Dataflex thought this could be done differently. For the Viewprime, they have developed 3 clamps, one of which you can order. There are 3 choices;

1. Desk clamp suitable for desktops up to 50 mm thick.
2. Low-profile desk clamp suitable for
