This arm has very smooth motion, very easy to move it around and dial in the right setting you need for the situation. Once you got it positioned it is extremely sturdy and stays where you set it. You can continually adjust this thing with ease, no need to mess with tension screws or jank actions.
It looks slick in matte black, which is a lot nicer than the plastic or shiny materials used in other mounts. Not really a big deal but its sometimes the small details.
Installation was easier than any other arm i've installed. The parts are laid out properly and the way it goes together in parts is a lot more smooth than other designs. Its pretty much 3 lego pieces and you're done, the base is just a base so its not top heavy while you're trying to secure it to your desk. Monitor cant be nut locked in place so you have to remove the entire last segment to replace your screen, but that adds to the stability of the monitor as it doesn't shake at all.
Having a screw to disable rotation is great for my OCD tendencies, you can get very slight rotation but getting it fully strait takes zero effort, no need for rulers.
As the instructions note, it is difficult or impossible to move it well until the VESA plate is screwed onto the monitor. After that, it is readily moved. The Allen screws and be adjusted to more or less tightness.
At first, it wouldn't hold my monitor up -- the upper arm kept sinking -- and yet my monitor, at 15.4 lbs., was well below the 20 lb. max capacity for this unit. The adjustment for the weight of the monitor is #2 on the scant pictographic instructions. The picture instructions are not the best--not the worst but. . . Anyway I searched for an adjustment to the spring-tension canister in the upper arm that counterbalances the monitor's weight. Pushing the upper arm up and the screen mount down reveals the adjustment screw head at the end of the canister and the larger supplied wrench fits it. 3 half-turns clockwise made no diff. So I added three more half-turns; better but still slowly sinking. I added a 3 more half-turns--much better. 3 more for a total of 12 half-turns and the balance was perfect. You need to ease your way up to the right number of turns to get it just right balance and to avoid overtightening. Once adjusted correctly, the montoro stays in palce but can be moved easily up and down.
What's nice about this unit is that, once you have it set up, you can move the monitor around and up and down without readjusting the tension or loosening/retigthening any screws. Although, if your desk is on casters or wheels, you will want to lock them, which is a good safety rule anyway. The elevation movement is smooth and easy--you can move it up or down with one finger. The horizontal swing movement is much stiffer. It helps if you spray the two large post joints with silicone lubricant liberally and then wipe away thoroughly all of the excess. This won't make the swing movement light, but it does ease it up a bit. By post joints I mean the large joints where the upper arm meets the lower and were the lower arm meets the desk mounting post. These joints have no bearings; they have plastic sleeve-type bushings. Compared to the Humanscale: the Humanscale moves horizontally as easily as the LX moves vertically while the Humanscale moves vertically as stiffly as the LX moves horizonstally--either way I'm not sure the difference is worth the extra money for the Humanscale. This stiff horizontal movement is less than ideal but far better than what I've seen on some of the cheaper units offer. For this price I could live with stiffness given all the other postive features.
The LX comes with a heavy duty clamp base and a drill-a-hole-in-the-desk grommet type mount--both come in the box. All of the parts are in a two-layer plastic strip, sealed into multiple compartments with each compartment labeled as to contents. Much better than those units that come with all the screws etc. all in one bag and you have to sort them by count and looks against their picture in the instructions.
It's not quite as pretty as the Humanscale M2 or M8, which cost about 60% more, but much more nicely finished than the cheaper units I've seen up close. The LX, with less attractive desk mounting pole, has a greater range of vertical position than the Humanscale.
If you can afford it, this monitor arm is a very good choice. If you can afford more, then it's a tough choice between this at its price vs the Humanscale arms at the higher prices. For the money, this is a much better deal, thus, my rating of 5 stars.

Das spiegelt sich zwar auch im Preis wieder, aber wer wie ich einen relativ teuren Monitor hat, der sollte hier nicht beim Arm sparen.
Super finde ich, dass man diesen Arm so drehen und verstellen kann, dass er wie ein Monitor Ständer wirkt. Selbst auf niedrigster Position (Monitor kann den Tisch direkt berühren!) Das schafft unglaublich viel Platz auf dem Tisch und der Arm verschwindet vollständig hinter einem 27" Monitor, ohne nach hinten auszuladen. Das ist immens wichtig, wenn der Schreibtisch an der Wand steht.
Positiv:
+ Jedes Gelenk ist auf Gewicht, Höhe und Funktion einstellbar.
+ Alles durchdacht und hochwertig verbaut
+ Tischklemme ist groß und sehr stabil gebaut. Da wackelt Nix
Negativ
- Die Anleitung könnte etwas detaillierter sein.
Volle 5 Sterne!
