Overview
The Ergotron 45-228-026 MX Wall Mount LCD Arm is a polished aluminum wall-mounted display arm designed for mid-sized monitors, LCD displays, TVs, and compatible all-in-one computers. Its Constant Force technology provides smooth positioning, while the articulated arm extends the display from the wall and supports portrait or landscape orientation.
Display Support
The 45-228-026 supports displays up to 42 inches with a rated capacity of 14–30 lb (6.3–13.6 kg). Display size is approximate and compatibility should also be checked against the display's weight, depth, and VESA mounting pattern. Displays deeper than 4 inches (102 mm) may reduce the rated capacity.
Adjustment and Movement
The MX arm provides 5 inches (13 cm) of vertical lift, 80° of total tilt, 360° pan, and 90° rotation. The arm extends and retracts by up to 17 inches (42 cm), allowing the display to be brought forward for viewing or moved back toward the wall when not in use.
Wall Mounting
The arm uses a vertical wall-mount base and is intended for installation on a suitable structural wall surface. Ergotron recommends positioning the upper mounting hole of the base no higher than 60 inches (152 cm) above the floor.
VESA Compatibility
The 45-228-026 supports VESA FDMI MIS-D mounting patterns of 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm, MIS-E with a 200 x 100 mm pattern, and MIS-F with a 200 x 200 mm pattern. A separate VESA adaptor kit is available for certain larger 400 mm mounting patterns.
Cable Management
Integrated cable management routes and conceals display cables beneath the arm, helping keep the installation organized as the arm is repositioned.
