Compatible with 27" Wacom Cintiq Pro!!!
The latest Wacom Cintiq 27" comes with a 100x100 mm VESA mount which is compatible with the Ergotron LX arm. I installed my Ergotron LX using the bolt-through option to in order to get the Wacom tablet to reach a little past my desk edge. The Ergotron LX has absolutely no problem holding this 20 lb Wacom tablet in place. It's very easy to move around once you customize the tension of each of the joints using the supplied hex wrench. I can't recommend it enough. The installation video is super helpful--there is a QR code to scan to access the video instructions. This mount is super sturdy and stays in any orientation while drawing, I can rotate the entire thing 360-degrees, which is an absolute dream. Save yourself some serious cash and buy this mount instead of that absurdly overpriced $470 wacom stand. This thing is so much better.This is the Wacom Tablet I bought that is shown in the pictures below: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Creative-Display-Pressure-DTH271K0A/dp/B0B43T9HPC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LYMCW288L3XZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aI840oxeyP3yZYrYLbLiRKBFTK-eb33t0rXY_vGxU79KwFwvo1uhnRXg5lyeWJ5h4flvtLxqCNEEc8UidYnrYMR94ku3wTuLJpVxtyGpP0lHhQxzVn6xoCU8haq6hjlyWqb0siiEa-30dDBqwcTaJ94EjbB0h5B7LWJPW9_qVP_MBfRz-4-6Dt1aeWn4BTveGEEUTyYzLlECReZo7HKJ6YtcFOtfMdsSnNzyddj6Rqg.H47UnJNzhPO24HVnPfZy6HNlZ8-3GptF-CYID2bQzqQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=wacom%2B27%2Bcintiq%2Bpro&qid=1744856849&sprefix=wacom%2B27%22%2Bcinti%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1&th=1

SOLID arm! This is the one, GET IT!
This thing is a TANK! Solid construction, mostly metal with some plastic parts to hold cables. Set up was ridiculously easy and movement/adjustments is fluid and smooth. I value function over form, but with this Ergotron arm, I got both. The arm is beautiful and looks sharp supporting my 24" Apple Studio Display. I have two other monitors at home for use with work and I acquired some other brand arms for those. Although the other brand works fine, they're more for stagnant use, not fluid with movement, and nowhere near as useful or attractive as this Ergotron one. I'll be honest and share that I ordered one about a year ago and sent it back because I wasn't sure that's what I wanted and when I opened the box, it looked complicated to assemble ... at first glance. I was wrong. This thing was so easy to put together and secure to my desk. It really is SOLID and I have complete confidence that it will hold my Studio Display in just the right position for as long as I could possibly want. If you're in the market for a monitor arm, get this - you will be happy. Word of advice, if you are going to get an Apple Studio Display (or the Pro Display XDR ... Mr. rich guy/gal ), order it online and specify that you need a VESA mount. The Apple-provided tilt adjustable stand (& tilt and height adjustable stand) are nice, but you should only get that if you have plenty of desk space and if that's your thing. If that is your thing, then you wouldn't be reading this review because you wouldn't be looking for a monitor arm.I don't often write reviews, and obviously I didn't use AI for my simplistic run-on sentence here, but hopefully this will help if you're trying to decide. Get it, you'll be happy you did.

The BEST mount for large monitors and lots of articulation
The mount is easy to build and install. Works for lots of different sizes. And hold a lot of weight.I mounted a 24” Huion drawing monitor on one and those are heavy! It worked perfectly and gave me the angles I needed for drawing or Using it as a monitor.Was so impressed I got a second and have a 49” curved LG ultrawide on a racing simulator and it allows me to get the monitor close and get that full surround feeling. Even fully extended it hold all that weight with no issue.

Excellent monitor arm
All in all this is a great articulating arm. It's very solidly built, fairly well thought out, and once set up it adjusts easily. When I unpacked, I was surprised at how heavy it was -- it is really solid. There are a couple of small caveats but they aren't enough to diminish my rating.First, the adjustment for the counter-spring for the vertical movement is next to impossible. The design calls for inserting an Allen wrench into the area behind the joint where the monitor mounting plate is attached to engage the rod which controls the spring tension. First, it is pointless to try the adjustment without the monitor in place since it is the monitor's weight one is attempting to counterbalance, and that means that the monitor will make it impossible to see into the recessed area where the wrench needs to go. There is nothing in there to guide the wrench so it is practically impossible to fit it into the hex-head on the end of the rod. Meanwhile, with the monitor and other parts of the arm in the way one cannot just continually turn the wrench -- one must turn it, then remove it and reorient it before inserting it again -- so even getting lucky at getting the wrench seated the first time won't help much. Lucky for me that the factory setting was almost perfect for my monitor so I didn't have to monkey with this that much. It is a bad design and I hope they are smart enough to change it for future offerings.My second caveat is really minor, but it just seems like they could have easily handled it better. One installation option involves installing the arm on a surface by running a bolt in the platform of the arm through a hole in the table's surface and then using a wingnut to clamp a small plate underneath the mounting surface. This works well but the bolt is very long -- I'm not sure why they need a bolt that long. In my case, there was a drawer beneath the surface where I was mounting it and the excess length of the bolt interfered with the drawer. One option to fix this is to use a shorter bolt -- that might not be easy to do, however.Where the bolt fits through the platform of the arm, it drops into a square hole and the bolt has a square section at the top of its shaft which locks into that square hole to keep the bolt from turning. It might not be that easy to find a replacement bolt with that square section as I suspect that it is not a standard part. Another option is to take a hack saw and cut off the excess portion of the bolt. Unless there is sufficient room in the mounting area to accommodate a hack saw, this would entail mounting the arm, marking the place to cut the bolt and then removing the arm to retrieve the bolt (and one would likely need a vise to hold the bolt while cutting). It would have been easy to avoid all of this, however. The bolt itself is at the bottom of the hollow upright tube which the arm is mounted on -- if they had just welded a nut to the platform and threaded the bolt through a lock-nut, then the welded nut, it could be adjusted to whatever height was desired before installing. To avoid having to install, mark the bolt, and then remove for adjustment, one could likely just estimate the length needed based on the surface on which it is to be mounted (to be fair, one could do the same with the hacksaw method but with the downside of needing to obtain a new bolt if the estimated length turned out to be too short).One last complaint involves the provisions for cable control -- the cavity in the arm for passing the cables is a little awkward to use and seems a bit small. It works well enough, however -- the real problem is that there is nothing similar for the upper arm and since a little slack is needed in the cables to allow for moving the monitor around, angling the screen, etc., one is faced with having cables drooping down behind the monitor. I alleviated this a bit by using some velcro ties to hold the cables to the upper arm so that the slack portion is only from the end of the arm to the monitor.These are minor quibbles, however, and only affect the setup. Once the arm is in place and adjusted, it works great, easily holds my 22 inch monitor, and I am very happy with it.
