How do I check if a monitor arm can support my monitor?

Every monitor arm has a rated weight capacity per arm — typically 4.4 lbs (2 kg) to 22 lbs (10 kg) per arm. Check your monitor's weight in the product manual or on the manufacturer's website. Add 10–15% buffer — a 15 lb monitor on a 17 lb arm will stress the tilt mechanism over time. Most 24"–32" monitors weigh 8–20 lbs. Ultra-wide 34"–38" monitors can weigh 18–28 lbs and require heavy-duty arms rated 25+ lbs. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, all arm listings include weight capacity — call 1-800-460-0858 for heavy-monitor options.
