I just got the LG 27MP450-B monitor and I'm thinking of using it with a standing desk. Anyone have experience with this setup?
Using 27MP450-B Monitor With Standing Desk?
Started by MaddyNinja on July 10, 2024
I've been using my 27MP450-B monitor with a standing desk for a while now and it works great. The weight and VESA size are perfect for most mounts, so finding an appropriate stand wasn't too difficult.
That's good to know! Are there any specific recommendations you have for choosing the right mount? I want to make sure my monitor is secure and stable on my standing desk.
Sure thing, @flatrat1. You might find this TechReviewer article Monitor Mounts & Stands for LG's 27" 27MP450-B helpful. It provides some guidelines and recommendations for selecting a VESA mount or stand for your LG 27-inch 27MP450-B monitor.
Thanks, @tatsuo1475! That sounds like just what I need. The article discusses various types of mounts, right? Which ones do you think would be best suited for the 27MP450-B?
Yes, the article covers different mount types and their pros and cons. For the LG 27MP450-B, I'd recommend considering a C-clamp or Grommet mount if you want something budget-friendly and stable. Wall mounts and monitor stands are also good options if you need more versatility and space-saving features.
Interesting! How do those different types of mounts compare in terms of stability and ease of installation?
C-clamp mounts are easy to install but may not be as stable, especially for larger screens. Grommet mounts offer better stability but can be more difficult to install. Wall mounts provide the most stability and space-saving benefits but require more involved installation. Monitor stands give you a lot of adjustability and ease of use but don't save as much desk space as other options.
That's really helpful, @flatrat1. I think I'll start by looking at C-clamp and Grommet mounts. Do you have any recommendations for specific models that are known to work well with the 27MP450-B?
Sure! Here are a few recommended single monitor desk mounts compatible with the LG 27MP450-B: HUANUO Single Monitor Stand Desk Mount, AVLT Single Monitor Arm Desk Mount, Ergotron HX Single Ultrawide Monitor Desk Mount, and VIVO Black Ultra Wide Screen Desk Mount. All of these should work well for your setup.
Great, thanks! I'll check them out. By the way, how has your experience been with the 27MP450-B monitor on a standing desk? Any tips or advice you'd like to share?
The 27MP450-B has worked great for me on my standing desk. The only thing I would recommend is investing in a monitor mount reinforcement plate if you have a glass desk, just to be safe. Other than that, I've been very happy with the setup!
Thanks for the advice, @flatrat1. That's really helpful! I'll definitely look into getting a reinforcement plate.
