Is it better to use a dual monitor arm or two single arms for two monitors?

A dual monitor arm (one mount, two VESA plates on a Y-shaped or side-by-side configuration) keeps both monitors coordinated on a single desk attachment point — one clamp, one installation point. Two single arms allow fully independent positioning of each monitor — each can be at a different height, angle, and reach, which is better for asymmetric setups (e.g., one portrait, one landscape at different heights). The trade-off: two single arms require two clamp or grommet positions and create more visual complexity. For symmetrical dual-landscape setups, a dual arm is cleaner and more economical. For asymmetric setups, two singles provide more flexibility. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries both dual arms and coordinated single arms — call 1-800-460-0858.
