Ergotron – HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot – for 1000R, Ultrawide Curved Monitors, Screen Depth 100R – Add-on for HX Desk and HX Wall Monitor Arms

i bought the ergotronic arm and this to go with it, but i didn't realise that the arm comes with one as standard. i was misled (or misunderstood) that you need this for the g9. but actually, you don't as the arm includes one.but, it's a solid item. super heavy, very well made and comes with all the accessories that you need. it's for use with an arm that doesn't support tilt/twist.

HX one is the one on the right, The left one is the HD one that came with standard with the HX arm.The spring has one less coil but is thicker so better for the weight of the G9

When I first got my G9 nearly a year ago, I brought a mount listed as strong enough for the monitor, and it just couldn't keep it vertical. I was, therefore, worried about trying it again! I need not have worried about this mount, and its arm are not cheap, but they do the job, and the space they have freed up on my desk is priceless!

The 4-Star rating is purely for the product itself - which does exactly what it's supposed to do.As an addition to the matching monitor arm, this pivot is strong enough to support the front-heavy weight of the Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor.The only reason this is 4-Star is because you have to buy it as an additional item - which means the original pivot is wasted material. It would make more sense for the with the option of either standard or heavy-duty pivot.A word of advice/warning to anyone buying this pivot for the G9 monitor. My arm and pivot were delivered together, and I installed the Heavy Duty Pivot straight away - but the monitor still sagged forward, even at the tightest setting. After a quick look online, I found that others had experienced this issue - and that the reason was that they had been sent a standard pivot in a re-sealed Heavy Duty box.Checking the advice I read, it was apparent that the same had occurred for my order - which I presume is because a previous customer had bought both arm and pivot, swapped out the heavy duty pivot, and returned the standard one for a refund. I have now had to get a replacement pivot, remove the previous one, and re-fit. So if you are looking at buying/fitting this, please take the time to check your 'Heavy-Duty' Pivot before installing. In case this helps anyone, here's what to look for:The Heavy Duty pivot will have 8 spring-coils either side - the standard has 9 coils.The Heavy Duty will have a product/serial label on it - the standard does not.Although they look similar, the Heavy Duty is aligned differently (which thankfully makes it a lot easier to install).I've attached images which hopefully show the difference - my original in both cases is the black one, with the incorrect/correct pivots next to it as a comparison.

If you are an owner of a Samsung G9 Odyssey and you want to attach the beast to an arm, you need this. It is eye-watering expensive for what it is and oddly, Amazon is charging nearly double of what it costs elsewhere but ultimately, it is worth it.

The pivot mount does what it says on the tin and helps hold up some of the more heavy monitors out there. I personally bought it at about £70 for my Samsung Odyssey G9 (49" Super Ultrawide). It's worked wonders for the problem at hand. I do wish I'd tried the regular pivot mount that came with the Ergotron Monitor Arm before purchasing this, as I'm fairly sure if you tightened up the tension a bit on that, it'd work, maybe not as well, but it might do the trick. However I can't confirm that as I bought this immediately at the same time.It's a little bit annoying that this mount doesn't just come with the monitor mount given the price of each item, but unfortunately that's not the case and will not allow it to impact the review given it's definitely fit for purpose and I've had no issues with it.

Wish they'd copied the geometry of the hinge and actual shape of the mounting plate off the crazy Samsung monitors these are intended for as like any arm that tries to use a standard vesa mount the hinge position is still about 5cm further away from where it is on the standard desk stand the monitor came with so same as my previous arm I still had to tighten the spring from how it came to stop it drooping.In the end however I found the height of the arm too short and the weight it can lift lacking the ability to hold the 50 tonnes these radar dish monitors weigh so just went back to my previous arm but tightened it with a breaker bar this time. I should probably just weld that to be sure.

Great build quality, despite rubbish DIY skills, I'm fully confident with this holding my precious, heavy monitor.
