M8 dual monitor arm
On the plus side, this beats having two separate monitors sitting on the desk top hands down.
The arm is a little stiffer to operate than I would like, the pivots on the arm are just not smooth. Perhaps disassembling and using some teflon tool lubricant would do the trick, but that's more effort for something that shouldn't be an issue.
My biggest complaint is that the two monitors, which I have keystoned, do not easily stay aligned with each other when I move the arm from one position to another. I have a sitting and treadmill position on this desk, and getting everything set just right takes far more effort than is should. There should be some mechanism to bind the two monitors together, like velcro strips with pressure sensitive adhesive. I consider this aspect a significant design flaw.
