Summary: Not to spec
Comment: I ordered 2 of these, realizing they would have limited adjustment range - other reviews are correct in that they are very limited in their travel. What prompts my one star rating and subsequent return of my order is that they will not hold their rated weight. This model is supposed to hold a 25 lb. monitor; it failed miserably at attempting to hold my 23 lb. iMac. There is no tension adjustment (already as tight as it would go) and the computer just flopped forward. With a light monitor, I'm sure it would be fine, but don't expect even close to the stated 25 lb. rating.

Summary: Not Impressed
Comment: The way this works: A rigid curved upright section is monuted on a clamp base; the upright rotates 360 degrees. A flexible metal tubing section continues to a universal joint. The flexible section twists about 90 degrees in either direction. The mounting plate has slots for screws to mount the monitor.
I found one of the universal joints is too tight, the other was too loose; they could probably be adjusted. The flexible section is quite stiff. Vertical adjustment is minimal and I was concerned that I would break the monitor case when I repositioned the monitor. I bought this because I have 2 positions I routinely have to change between. I've decided to return it; I purchased an Ergotron Neo-Flex NF08LD1S (Mfr. Part #: 45-185-194) which cost $10 less and is easier to work with. I'm using a viewsonic 20.1" widescreen monitor and I'm happy with it so far.

Summary: Decent enough arm, if you keep it in one place
Comment: This arm is difficult to move and it does not lift the monitor very high off of the desk. The best I can do with my 2001FP is 6.5" from the top of the desk to the bottom of the monitor. Only above the 1st joint is adjustable, the first section is metal and at a fixed bend. Once placed it it not really a problem, but it is certainly not an arm that you can swing around and move often.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not very good
Comment: I can't believe this arm is selling on some web sites for $180. Its not worth $20. I had to return my first arm because one of the joints was locked tight and could not be moved, even with tools i could not loosen it. There is obviously no quality control with this manufacturer, as the replacement arm needed a joint loosening with tools. The arm is supposed to be easily adjustable with the weight of the monitor.
However when i loosened the joint and got it moving i found out that this monitor hangs out about 1.5' over my desk from the clamp point, as my desk is only 2.5' in depth the monitor was too close to my eyes. Also I could not get the monitor high enough to even be at eye level. I returned the arm and my monitor is back on a pile of books, but at least it's at eye level. I will look for more of a conventional arm that has an arm style more like a conventional clamp on desk light.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Minimal vertical travel
Comment: This unit is great and does everything is supposed to do except the 10 inches vertical travel. Mine moves up one or two inches upward but that's it. The vertical travel is nothing like the Macromedia flash example here: http://www.themoview.com/products/elite.html
Addendum Jan/03/05
It was a defective arm. Moview promptly replaced it with a new one. If I could, I'd change the rating to 5
