        A great product!

        The stand seems solid, and perfect for a 34-inch ultrawide.
        I also like the cable routing for a clean installation.

        Well done LDLC for the 24 hour delivery!

        Efficient and inexpensive arm?

        The value for money of this product is incredible! It takes up very little space, is very easy to install and is very solid, perfect for a 42-inch screen.

        Super product

        A 38 screen weighing 7-8 kg, I find that this arm exudes solidity and quality. It's a bit crude at first glance, but it does the job completely and in a very practical way. Simple but effective and at a top price.

        Good overall

        Assembled with a 49-inch screen. The assembly is not particularly difficult (apart from handling the screen, which is not the responsibility of the product), and the assembly holds together well.
        The only drawback is the tilt adjustment, which isn't so easy to understand and adjust, especially on your own (holding the tilt and screwing in simultaneously isn't easy with a large screen).
        The whole thing remains practical (cable routing, other adjustments, etc.) and seems solid.

        Installation too difficult

        First screen arm I've bought and I'm not convinced.
        Difficult installation. To start with, there are no instructions inside the box...
        The screws are all fully tightened, which is a pain when making adjustments. Adjusting the swivel ball at the back of the screen is super complicated (3 screws to be more or less loosened). So far I haven't managed to get a satisfactory setting.
        What's more, you first have to mount the arm on the screen and then slip the whole thing onto the base, which isn't very practical if access to the back of the table top is difficult.
        It's too much trouble to fit and the result is average.

        Great

        Very good product, saves an enormous amount of space on the desk.
        The arm is solid and easy to install. However, be careful when folding out the arm, it's quite surprising.

        Very good screen arm

        Very good quality screen arm.
        Easily supports a heavy 34-inch screen. Easy to move and adjust. Would recommend.

        Meets the need

        Used for an ASUS 34" LED - TUF Gaming VG34VQL3A monitor on a standing desk.
        Very pleased with the quality of the product for its price: fairly heavy arm but seems sturdy, protection on the foot so as not to damage the top of your desk, and the foot clamp seems to do the job for holding the arm + screen.
        Easy to assemble (you'll have to read the virtual instructions on another computer during assembly). However, there's no information on how far you can adjust the gas pressure: the instructions do indicate the screw to turn, but not by how much? Luckily the pressure corresponds to the weight of my screen.

        Du bel Ouvrage

        Neat packaging, beautifully finished hardware, multiple settings.
        Just be careful when unpacking the arm, which is very loose when unboxed.
        Very good equipment.

        The Artic is undoubtedly a very robust, sober arm with good quality materials.

        Pay attention to spring pressure (see instructions for use).
        > The foot of the arm has a good grip. Unlike many arms, it is fairly wide and square. It's solid. The foot's grip is high enough for the whole thing to be solid. However, the clamp under the desk is quite narrow. This leaves little room to 'pinch' the desk other than completely. Be careful if your screen is heavy, the clamp may bite into the wood. Metal reinforcements may be necessary.
        > The two parts of the arm move 360° without any problem. The cable covers on the top and bottom of the arm are not exceptional, but they do exist. Be careful if you need a large range of rotation on both arms, as the cable cover at the bottom runs the risk of pulling/twisting your cables if they are too short.
        > The gas spring is extremely efficient. In my opinion, there's no need to adjust it. It will work as it is for a weight of even 9.5k. In my opinion, it's capable of supporting the original 15 kilos*.
        However, the downside of the arm is the ball that holds its head in place. This system is a real pain to get a square, horizontal and flat adjustment. I recommend attaching your screen to the arm before connecting it to the stand.
        It would have needed a system of markers and a large plate with L/R handles. Because if your monitor is fragile, constantly adjusting its head is not a good idea. Make a cross if it's big and heavy. The 180° tilt behind the head makes the coffee. I personally solved the problem by adjusting my monitor in profile with a lot of patience. While the spring does very well for weights >10k, I have huge doubts about the head.
        I'm currently in a heavy configuration with a side-mount to my desk to take up as little wall space as possible. When the arms are fully extended, it doesn't bend and supports the 9.5 of my screen perfectly.

        A marvel

        Fitted with a Fox Spirit 31'5, excellent stand, easy to adjust and very manoeuvrable, practical for freeing up space on the desk, recommended?

        Good quality but difficult to follow instructions

        The quality is there. It's strong stuff. No problem there: there's no risk of it moving. I'd take off one star for the assembly instructions. You have to find it on the net. So be it. It's fine at first. But when you have to go on to the settings, the animated images aren't enough. But it's not difficult to add a few lines of text to the diagrams, putting yourself in the shoes of an unfamiliar user. I had to make do with YouTube videos of users to find the right settings. The clamping wheel under the table doesn't seem to be extremely solid. I could be wrong.

        Flexible

        Very good screen arm, fairly flexible and robust. Supports 34-inch screens without difficulty.

        Very robust and stable

        Very practical arm, I use it with a 34 inch 21/9th screen and it does the job perfectly.

        Quite easy to assemble, just be careful when removing the cardboard that holds the arm because it opens suddenly and you can easily hurt yourself (thanks to the person who warned about this in a previous comment).

        One small downside is that the vertical rotation movement is not easy to adjust and depends a lot on how tight the screws behind it are (which shouldn't be too tight, but still tight enough to hold). But once you've adjusted it, everything's fine.

        Excellent product

        I installed this arm on my LG 27GP850-B screen because the original stand was too bulky.
        It's a very good quality product, you can feel it by the weight and the touch.
        It is made up of 2 parts, the 1st is the desk mount and the 2nd part is the screen mount.
        Once you've made the right adjustments, the screen stays fixed and doesn't move.
        I really like the practical side for the management cable, which is much more discreet thanks to the cover on the arm.
        It's very easy to assemble once you understand how it works, but be careful not to hurt yourself when you remove the cardboard from the arm because it automatically relaxes
        BTR spanners, including one with a screwdriver head, are supplied to make adjustments as easy as possible
        I didn't have an installation manual in my box, but there's a QR code on the side of the box.
        I have no regrets about my purchase and can only recommend it.

        Excellent quality

        The weight of the package already shows that we have a robust arm and when unpacking it is confirmed ...
        The arm looks solid, heavy and of good quality whether it is for the hook or just the articulated arm!
        The assembly is very easy and supports a 27 inches screen !
        For my part I put the Asus 27" Pro Art PA278CV screen whose weight alone is +/- 6 kg and it is a wonder!
        The screen does not fall down, it is perfectly manageable and I did not need to make any additional adjustments
        when it came out of the package! Just fixed the VESA100 bracket at the back and adjusted the tilt ball ... For the rest, no additional adjustment, the arm is very easy to handle and in the direction you need!
        I recommend this arm of an extreme quality, with a cable passage and a very easy use.

        Well made but design problem

        I wanted to give this product a chance, using a competing model (Fellowes) at work.

        A well-made product that looks solid, but,

        The rigidity of the articulation between the 2 oblique arms is not adjustable, and too important by default

        The real problem is the articulation of the screen at the level of the VESA attachment, the rotation/tilt is carried by a partial ball tightened by means of 3 screws.

        This is impossible to adjust (and not at all intuitive) after many minutes of trying. Either the screen "falls" forward, or it's too rigid and you have to force it, so through the screen -> I have a 27inch IIYAMA that suffered from these adjustments for nothing, the screen would go out every time I tried to force it.

        If you intend to have a static positioning of the screen this product will be suitable, otherwise I frankly advise against it!

        I'm not sure if this arm is guaranteed for 6 years, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to dodge my screen because of it. So I go back and get a Fellowes (which has an orientation not with a partial sphere but on 2 adjustable axes each)

        Too bad!

        Perfect, supports up to 15kilo

        The product complies. The metal structure is solid. The installation is relatively easy. The stand is marked on the box as being able to support up to 15 kilos. I have installed a 34 inch 10 kilo on this stand and once all the adjustments are done, nothing moves, everything is stable, it's nice. I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good idea to keep it in place for a while.
