How much reach does a monitor arm need?

Monitor arm reach is the horizontal distance the arm can extend from its mounting point. For a standard seated workstation, 12"–18" of reach is sufficient to position the monitor 20"–24" from the user's eyes. For L-shaped desks where the mount point is further from the user, or for corner positions, 20"–24" of reach may be needed. Measure from where the arm mounts on the desk edge to where you want the monitor center to be.
