0871 244 0934Monitor stands let you raise your screen, clear up desk space and get a better viewing angle. Our range includes single and dual-screen options with adjustable tilt, swivel and rotation, so you can set your displays up for work, gaming or everyday use. Freestanding bases also mean you won’t need to clamp or drill into your desk, which can be handy for rented homes or desks with awkward edges.
A monitor stand gives you more control over screen height and angle than a fixed monitor base. Adjustable models can tilt, swivel and rotate, which makes it easier to place the display at a comfortable viewing level.
Before buying, check the supported screen size and maximum weight. The single electriQ model shown here supports screens from 17 to 32 inches and up to 9kg, so it suits many common desktop displays.
A dual monitor stand can hold two displays side by side while keeping both original monitor bases off the desk. This is useful for work that needs more screen space, such as spreadsheets, editing or gaming with a second display.
Check the weight limit for each side rather than the total alone. You should also make sure both monitors have compatible VESA mounting points. Weight capacity and VESA fit are two of the main things shoppers need to check before fitting a dual-screen setup.
A freestanding monitor stand for desk use sits on its own base, so you don’t need a clamp or grommet hole. That makes installation simple and leaves the desk unchanged. It can also work well on desks where the rear edge isn’t suitable for a clamp.
The trade-off is that the base takes up some surface space, so check its footprint first. For larger or heavier screens, always stay within the stated size and weight limits to keep the setup stable.
