So I'd had cable management at the end of my review but the advice felt more important than the actual review. Putting it up top: ROUTE THE CABLES BEFORE YOU INSTALL ANYTHING. The cable management is functional but inelegant, requiring you unscrew a plastic part, run the cables, screw back in. They have cable management as one of the last steps in the guide, but it will go SO MUCH FASTER if you route the cables before actually installing anything.
To save yourself stress, run cables for everything your monitor supports even if you don't currently need it. If your monitor has USB ports for power, or a hub, buy USB extension cables (similar to a power extension cable) – lets you run the cabling cleanly and plug in elsewhere vs having to deal with running cables later. Ditto for display cables etc – just be proactive and run the highest speed / tier cables before installing for a clean look.
Rest of the review:
This was super easy to install. I went for the 'clamp' installation.
One thing to note as I found limited info: my desk requires me to clamp the monitor to the SIDE of the desk. Can't put it on the rear of the desk due to the way it is constructed (kind of a small secretary style design). The arm works perfectly for my usage. It's super flexible and you can kind of see how well it contorts itself.
Stability is fine. I keep mine in a mostly static position, only moving it to switch to my laptop for video calls. If I were throwing my monitor all over the place all day I would absolutely buy a premium version. This is GREAT for folks like me who need basic cable management and a pretty stable / standard position for their screen. For a short term work from home scenario like we are all facing right now I am super happy with the money.
I'm combining this with a Pixio PX275h and the weight / size works fine. I think if this was a smaller monitor it may be more stable feeling as there is a good deal of give whenever I adjust it, but it stays in place which is all I care about.
