Monitor arm help for Benq XL2411z
I have a Benq xl2411z and it is taking up a lot of space on my desk. Can someone help me with a monitor arm and what I need for it to work. I basically want the monitor arm to have a stand somewhere back on the desk or it being attached to a wall but I want to be able to move the monitor around a lot like rotating display up and down and moving it far back and forth. It would be great if somebody could help me with this. Thank you

I have Artic Z1 monitor stand/Arm (newer versions available)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-Z1-Black-3-Stage-Compliant/dp/B006OMJ6LC/ref=pd_sim_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=F6TS27M7RVR0JDK2HXSA

Mine supports 2 monitors rather than the single one I linked. I have Benq xl2411z and a Benq xl2730 on the dual version and it handles them absolutely fine. Don't move the xl2730 but I do move the xl2411z. Either have it lining up side by side with the xl2730 or at 90 degree angles. Usually around 45 degree is my usual position.

Up and down can be fiddly. If you want to raise/lower it frequently I'd consider gas arms but they cost a lot more.

Ok I have searche around a lot and found the Ergotech freedom Arm do you think it's a good option and do you know if it will fit?, and the monitor stand you linked how long can it stretch out?

The XL2411Z is VESA 100mm so any stand/arm that is Vesa 100mm compatible will fit your screen.

The two main sections of the arm for the one I linked is 15cm/6inches so thats 30cm/12inches plus a little more for the actual mounting head and the part connecting to the pole. It's fine for swinging back and forth but anything that require the joints to adjust needs you to lift it up slightly and can be a bit fiddly if I'm honest.

If you intend to move it quite often then the ones you linked looks like it will be much easier. Just make sure the one you pick is VESA 100mm and supports a 24" screen and it'll should be fine for the Xl2411z. If you're unsure contact them directly and ask, sure they will be happy to confirm.

You probably don't know this I don't know but the Monitor arm I linked says it supports monitors with the weight of 8.4 lbs ~ 3.8 kg minimum to 17.8 lbs ~ 8.07 kg but I unattached the monitor normal stand from the monitor and weighed my monitor on a scale meant for weighing people and it said my monitor was 3.1 kg which is lighter than the minimum but my monitor is not unusual and the monitors in videos and pictures about the arm looks like it has monitors that are lighter than mine. So will it still support mine or what should I do. Thank you for helping

I am using 3 of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N7ZWJFP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to support 2 27 inch generic IPS monitors and a 27 inch ROG swift (which weighs a fair bit more) and they work great, hold all 3 in place nice and stable and were the cheapest option at the time, even has usb and audio pass through if you want to make use of it.
