I was a bit 50/50 on these VESA mounts when I was looking at them on Amazon. Fortunately, they were on sale when I got them and so were at a comparable price to another option that had a lower weight capacity.
So far, I am pleased with the results. I set them up in using the C-Clamp mounts that are included, because the mounting plate for the alternative grommet mounting was far too small for the cable holes on my desk. Your millage may differ, the cable holes on my desk are 2" deep by 3.5" wide, larger than the mounting plate.
Set up is relatively easy and does not require anything other than what is included in the box. However, be aware that you may need the standoffs and long screws for the VESA mount if the bracket is recessed into your monitor like on my Dell S2721DGF. My LG Ultra Gear LG32GP850-B just cleared the quick mount bracket, but the release for the stand it came with does interfere a bit and needs to be pushed out of the way. An almost three handed operation, but more an issue with the monitor than the mount.
The mounts are sturdy enough and are holding almost ten pounds each easily with no adjustment. They are stiff but tightening bolts can be backed off or on for adjustment. It would be nicer if these were thumb screws like on the back of the VESA bracket but it's not something that I'm going to be messing with regularly.
I'd knock off a star for build quality, lots of plastic, but for the price I'm not expecting all metal.
Cable management in built into the arms, nice plus there. Each swivel point works exactly as you see in the product page, and I've had to do little adjustment once I got them assembled and the monitors mounted.
Biggest upside to these mounts is how much space I saved over the old stands that these monitors came with. Both Dell and LG gave me stands with massive footprints on my desk and now I have all of that space back to use. Definitely worth picking up if you have a 32" or smaller monitor. Larger may work with the rated seventeen-pound capacity. However, be aware that at full height I have seven inches of clearance from my desk to the bottom of my 32" LG monitor. Larger ones will have less, and you may want to consider a different mounting option even if your monitor falls under the weight capacity.
So far, I can recommend one, or two in my case.
