What else can I say?
If you have two monitors on your desk, this should be your next office upgrade.
A monitor arm mount like the MSI MAG MT201D isn’t a particularly exciting or revolutionary accessory.

The MAG MT201D has helped me create the ultimate office setup for work and gaming.
Is it the right accessory for you?
I purchased the MSI MAG MT201D dual-monitor arm for use in my office.
MSI had no input on the contents of this review, nor did it see the review before publishing.
Finding the right one for your desk can be a challenge.
Enter the MSI MAG MT201D.
The MAG MT201D has a sturdy C-clamp mount.
Gamer or not, it’s a quality accessory for anyone who usually works with two screens.
Part of my problem was a lack of support for wide screens with the mount I previously used.
The MAG MT201D solves that issue, with support for up to dual 45-inch screens weighing 44 pounds each.

Is the MSI MAG MT201D VESA compatible?
Compatibility with 75mm x 75mmand100mm x 100mm VESA covers a vast majority of displays on the market today.
I recommend double-checking to ensure your screens have VESA support to work with the MAG MT201D.

In fact, the entire MAG MT201D setup is straightforward and has clear instructions.
I had everything together including the monitors attached within 45 minutes.
Moving up from the base, each monitor arm is made up of two parts.
The VESA attachment allows for a full range of movement.
The upper halves of the monitor arms are a lot more complex.
Each piece has a built-in spring that allows for easy height changes.
This allows you to dial in the perfect resistance for each monitor, ultimately preventing drooping over time.
Channels on the arms of the MAG MT201D allow for easy cable management.
With the right tension, monitors are easy to move and remain in place.
With the right tension, monitors are easy to move and remain in place.
The hardware makes it extremely easy to position the monitors any which way.
The setup also works well for gaming.
Both portions of each arm have slideaway covers that make it easy to run cables inside.
I pulled my desk out from the wall by about a foot.
You also want to be sure that your desktop can support the mount properly.
Although it’s not stated, I’d also recommend the desktop be solid wood for maximum safety.
Those are about the only quirks I’ve discovered so far, and they’re relatively minor.
The MSI MAG MT201D makes it easy to keep my desktop clean, even with a laptop dock in place.
Digging deeper, those who want RGB lighting on their monitor stand should avoid the MAG MT201D.
It costs more, but it might be the right choice for you.
You should not buy this if …
However, you likely won’t get the same quality and features; MSI’s mount is priced competitively.
Gone is the crowded desktop with two monitor stands.
Gone is the mess of cables exiting the back of each monitor.
And gone is the pain in the back of my neck from having to make ergonomic concessions.
I don’t know how I managed without it.
I’m glad I took a chance and didn’t spend less on an inferior product.
If you have two monitors on your desk, this will transform your setup for the better.
