When should I use a wall-mounted monitor arm instead of a desk-mounted arm?

Wall-mounted monitor arms are preferable when: the desk surface is too thin or fragile for a clamp mount; no grommet hole is available and you prefer not to drill; the monitor needs to reach a greater distance from the primary work position than a desk arm allows; or multiple users at different positions need to share a single monitor (common in clinical areas and reception desks). Wall mounts require solid wall blocking (a wood stud or metal backing plate) to safely carry the monitor weight. They typically offer more reach range (24"–30"+) than desk arms.
