Chief Kontour KX Low-Profile Desk Mount Dual Monitor Arm - For Displays 10-30" - Black

The Chief Kontour KX Low-Profile Desk Mount Dual Monitor Arm is engineered to transform crowded workspaces into clean, productive zones. This dual-monitor solution is designed for shallow-depth desktops, delivering a sophisticated, low-profile profile without compromising range of motion or ergonomic flexibility. Built for both professional offices and home workstations, the KX arm lets you share screens with colleagues, collaborate more naturally, and reduce neck and eye strain by bringing displays exactly to your eye level. With a focus on accessibility and comfort, the Kontour KX integrates robust construction with intuitive, fingertip adjustments so you can position each display precisely where you need it, in seconds.

• Optimized depth for shallow desktops: The KX Low-Profile Desk Mount is engineered to sit tight against the edge of your desk while still offering a full range of motion. This makes it ideal for compact desks, conference rooms, and average-height workstations where every inch of space matters. Enjoy a clutter-free desk surface as the arms retract neatly, keeping cords tucked and offices looking tidy. Whether you’re sharing a screen during a quick stand-up or aligning dual monitors for a deep-dive session, this mount keeps both displays within easy reach and visually balanced for consistent viewing angles.
• Centris Extreme Tilt technology: Chief’s patented Centris Extreme Tilt delivers effortless, fingertip tilt control. You can tilt each monitor with minimal force while maintaining precise, repeatable positions. The result is glare-free viewing and better comfort during long workdays, multi-monitor presentations, or design sessions that require quick on-screen adjustments. This feature enables you to fine-tune screen angles for optimal collaboration, reducing neck strain and enabling teammates to view content without repositioning the entire desk setup.
• Broad display compatibility and robust motion: The Kontour KX supports dual displays from 10 to 30 inches with a sturdy, stable mounting system. Its dual-arm design provides independent adjustment for each monitor, allowing personalized alignment for multitasking, spreadsheets side-by-side, or dual-application workflows. The arms offer a wide range of motion, including tilt, swivel, and extension, so you can pull screens toward you for a close-up review or push them back when you need more desk space for paperwork, sketches, or devices. The result is an ergonomic, comfortable setup that adapts to your evolving work style.
• VESA compatibility and one-to-one precision: Most commonly used monitors with VESA mounting patterns of 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm can be mounted to the Kontour KX. This broad compatibility ensures you won’t need to replace existing displays to upgrade to a dual-monitor arrangement. The solid build quality and precise mounting hardware keep each panel secure and properly aligned, preventing drift over time and maintaining a clean aesthetic that remains consistent as you adjust monitor positions throughout the day.
• Low-profile design with cable management: The low-profile profile keeps arms out of the way while still offering a generous range of motion. Integrated cable management channels guide power, video, and peripheral cables along the arms, reducing cable clutter and protecting cords from snagging. This creates a professional, streamlined look on any desk and simplifies maintenance by keeping cables organized and easy to access during repositioning or servicing.

how to install Chief Kontour KX Low-Profile Desk Mount Dual Monitor Arm

• 1. Prepare your workspace: Clear the area where you’ll install the mount. Decide whether you’ll use the desk clamp or the grommet mount, and gather the included hardware, screws, and mounting plates. Ensure your desk edge can accommodate a clamp mechanism and that you have enough clearance for the arms’ range of motion.
• 2. Attach the mounting plate: Secure the desk clamp or grommet plate to the underside of the desk edge according to the provided instructions. Tighten the clamp securely to avoid any movement, ensuring a stable base for the dual monitor arms. The low-profile design helps minimize desk intrusion while maintaining a solid anchor point.
• 3. Install the monitor arms: Attach the Kontour KX arms to the mounting plate, following the direction arrows and using the correct fasteners. Confirm that both arms are firmly connected and able to move independently without obstruction. Check that the arms are balanced so that the monitors won’t drift when you adjust them.
• 4. Mount the displays: Attach VESA plates to the back of each monitor (75x75 mm or 100x100 mm). Then align and secure the displays to the arms, ensuring a snug fit. If you’re mounting larger displays near the maximum end of the size range, verify that the weight distribution is balanced and that the arms are tightened to prevent any sag.
• 5. Route cables and connect: Run power and video cables through the cable management channels along the arms. Connect the monitors to your computer or docking station and power on. Use the Centris Extreme Tilt function to adjust each screen to your preferred tilt angle, then rotate to landscape or portrait as needed.
• 6. Fine-tune positioning: Stand back and assess line-of-sight, neck posture, and distance from your seating position. Use the manual tilt and swivel adjustments to minimize glare and optimize ergonomic comfort. If you share screens in collaboration settings, you can quickly reconfigure positions to accommodate different presenters or team layouts without tools.
