4. Setup and Installation
The LogiLink Monitor Mount offers two installation options: Desk Clamp Mounting or Table Hole (Grommet) Mounting. Choose the method best suited for your desk.
4.1 Desk Clamp Mounting

4.2 Table Hole (Grommet) Mounting
- Prepare Desk Hole: Ensure your desk has a suitable hole (grommet hole) for mounting. If not, you may need to drill one, ensuring it is large enough for the grommet base and hardware.
- Assemble Grommet Base: Attach the grommet base components to the main pole of the monitor arm.
- Secure to Desk: Insert the grommet base through the desk hole. From underneath the desk, secure the base using the provided plate and tightening nuts. Ensure it is firmly secured.
4.3 Attaching the Monitor
- Attach VESA Plate to Monitor: Secure the quick-release VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate screws and spacers from the hardware kit. Ensure the VESA plate is oriented correctly. This mount supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.
- Mount Monitor to Arm: Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the VESA head of the monitor arm until it clicks securely into place.

4.4 Gas Spring Tension Adjustment
After mounting your monitor, you will need to adjust the gas spring tension to match your monitor's weight. This ensures the arm holds the monitor securely at any desired height.
- Locate Adjustment Screw: Find the gas spring tension adjustment screw on the arm (usually near the pivot point closest to the VESA head).
- Adjust Tension: Use the provided Allen key to turn the screw.
- Turn clockwise (-) to decrease tension (for lighter monitors).
- Turn counter-clockwise (+) to increase tension (for heavier monitors).
- Test Movement: Adjust incrementally and test the arm's movement. The monitor should stay in position when released and move smoothly with minimal effort.

5. Operation and Adjustments
Once installed, your LogiLink Monitor Mount allows for flexible positioning of your display.
5.1 Monitor Positioning
- Tilt: The monitor can be tilted from -20° to +50° to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
- Swivel: The arm allows for a swivel range of -90° to +90° at the base and the monitor plate, enabling you to share your screen or adjust for different tasks.
- Rotation: The front plate can be rotated 360°, allowing you to switch between landscape and portrait orientations effortlessly.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LogiLink Monitor Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor arm does not hold position / sags. | Gas spring tension is too low for monitor weight. | Increase gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (+). Refer to Section 4.4. |
| Monitor arm is too stiff to move. | Gas spring tension is too high for monitor weight. | Decrease gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (-). Refer to Section 4.4. |
| Mount wobbles or feels unstable. | Desk clamp/grommet not tightened sufficiently; desk surface is unstable. | Ensure the desk clamp or grommet mounting hardware is fully tightened. Verify your desk is stable and sturdy. |
| Monitor does not fit VESA plate. | Incorrect VESA pattern or monitor size. | Verify your monitor's VESA pattern is 75x75mm or 100x100mm. Ensure your monitor size is within the 17-49 inch range. |
| RGB lighting is not working. | USB cable not connected or faulty; lighting mode not selected. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to a powered USB port. Press the lighting mode button on the mount's base to cycle through modes. |
