[US] Amazon Basics Single Monitor Arm, US$66

Lowest price ever for this monitor arm, which is an Ergotron arm just minus the 15 year warranty.

Solid arm. I’ve had it for about a year on my 34” Ultrawide. Definitely worth it at $65; I think I paid near $90 for it. Tempted to pick up another…

Yeah, they say up to 32 inches for it, but plenty of people can fit a 34 on it because the weight is more important. I've seen posts of people going for the heavy-duty Ergotron for lighter monitors, and it doesn't stay in place because the monitor is under the minimum weight of the arm. 

 

This guy covers a whole lot of monitors for a great price.

I thought Amazon basics was supposed to be the cheapest.  Newegg has way cheaper stuff than that.  Even dual monitor set ups for around $50

Huanuo not a bad brand, but the Amazon arm is basically identical to the Ergotron LX, comes from Ergotron. That mount costs like $180, and this deal lets you get it for $66. You don't get the 15 year warranty that Ergotron offers, but that's the only difference between them.

with those $50 options you’re comparing apples and oranges in terms of stability and quality. The ergotrons are frankly tanks in terms of build quality and keeping your monitor stable.

If I was gonna save money and not get a warranty I'd save even more and go for the cheapest option not the amazon basics one.
