Ergotron HX Dual
Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Dual Monitor Arms
Ergotron HX Dual
$585

The HX Dual is the heavy-display pick. Built for ultrawide monitors over 30 lbs that the LX can't support. Quick-release head and pro-grade clamp. Best for video editors, traders, and developers with 32"+ professional displays.

Strengths
  • Built for ultrawides over 30 lbs and TVs used as monitors
  • Quick-release head — swap monitors in seconds
  • Heavy-duty desk clamp + 10-year warranty
Watch-outs
  • Most expensive pick at $585
  • Overkill for standard 24-27" displays
  • Substantial desk-edge footprint
HUANUO Dual Monitor Arm
Ranked #5 in Best Dual Monitor Arms
HUANUO Dual Monitor Arm
$50

The HUANUO Dual is the budget 32" pick. Cheap gas-spring arm that handles bigger displays than the Amazon Basics — useful for budget buyers with 32" monitors. Trade-off is long-term tension loss vs Ergotron's constant force.

Strengths
  • Gas-spring mechanism for fluid height adjustment
  • Heavy-duty C-clamp + grommet mount options
  • Cable management clips along the arm
Watch-outs
  • Gas-spring loses tension over years (replaceable but adds maintenance)
  • Brand support and warranty service trail Ergotron's
  • Plastic accents feel less premium than the LX Dual
