I'm looking to buy a new monitor stand for my 48" monitor. Does anyone know what weight capacity should I be looking for?
Monitor Stand Weight Capacity for 48" Monitors?

Generally, most monitor stands can handle the weight of a typical 48" monitor without any issues. However, it's always good to double-check the specifications before purchasing one.
That's true. You'll want to make sure that your chosen stand has a weight capacity suitable for your specific monitor. For instance, some stands are designed specifically for ultrawide monitors like yours.
Hey, I found an article on TechReviewer discussing this exact topic! They provide a comprehensive list of recommended mounts and stands with their weight capacities. You can check it out here: Monitor Mounts & Stands for BenQ's 48" MOBIUZ EX480UZ. It might help you make an informed decision.
Thanks for the link, @hardinMI. That will definitely come in handy. Just to clarify, does that mean I should look for a stand with a weight capacity of around 40-50 lbs?
A 48" monitor can weigh anywhere from 20 to 45 pounds, depending on the brand and model. So you'll want to verify your specific monitor's weight before deciding on a stand.
@Inquest25 is correct. Make sure to check your monitor's specifications for the exact weight. The TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier has some great recommendations tailored to different types of monitors, so it might be worth taking another look at that article.
Thanks for all the help! Based on this discussion and the article, I think I'll go ahead and get a monitor stand with a weight capacity of around 40 lbs. That should work for my 48" monitor.
Great choice, @jepakattie! Just make sure to assemble it properly following the manufacturer's instructions to ensure stability.
Good luck with your new monitor stand, @jepakattie. And remember to periodically check its stability just to be on the safe side.
