The Ergotron LX Pro Desk Monitor Arm, MPN 45-712-293, is a desk-mounted monitor support designed to improve screen positioning and free up valuable desktop space. Its low-profile C-clamp attaches to a compatible desk edge, while the adjustable arm allows users to raise, lower, tilt, pan, and rotate a supported display.
Part of Ergotron's LX Pro range, this monitor arm combines aluminum construction, integrated cable management, and a dark grey finish for a clean, organized workstation. Its adjustable design is suitable for a variety of office and home-office environments.

Monitor Compatibility and Adjustment
The LX Pro Desk Monitor Arm supports one compatible monitor weighing between 1.8 and 10 kg (4–22 lb). The recommended screen size is up to approximately 34 inches, although actual compatibility also depends on display weight, dimensions, and mounting configuration.
The arm provides up to 33 cm (13 inches) of lift and a maximum extension of approximately 64 cm (25 inches). Its movement capabilities include a 70-degree backward and 15-degree forward tilt range, adjustable horizontal positioning, and 360-degree screen rotation.
Mounting and VESA Compatibility
This model uses a low-profile C-clamp designed for desk surfaces approximately 12–40 mm (0.47–1.57 inches) thick. The desk must also provide adequate clearance beneath the mounting area and a suitable surface for secure attachment.
The monitor pivot supports VESA MIS-D mounting patterns of 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm. Check the monitor's mounting pattern and weight before installation. Displays deeper than approximately 9 cm (3.6 inches) may affect the supported weight capacity.
Space-Saving Workstation Design
By lifting the monitor off the desktop, the LX Pro helps create additional room for documents, keyboards, and other workstation equipment. Its adjustable arm makes it easier to reposition the display when switching tasks or sharing a workspace.
The integrated rotation stop can limit movement at the base and extension joint to help prevent the monitor arm from swinging into a nearby wall or obstacle. A tension-level indicator also helps users set the arm's counterbalance for the installed display.
Typical Applications
- Office and home-office workstations
- Professional desktop computer setups
- Administrative and productivity work areas
- Workspaces requiring adjustable monitor positioning
- Desks where freeing up surface space is a priority
