An LCD monitor arm supports a flat screen monitor and holds it from a fixed surface. It consists of a four-bolt plate that fastens to the back of the monitor, a stand, and mounting hardware. It is installed on surfaces such as computer tables, walls, or ceilings. It usually has a swivel and tilt attachment that allows the monitor to face different directions. It is used to save desktop space, improve visibility, and provide a more ergonomic viewing position.
