In short, this is a premium monitor arm designed to elevate comfort, productivity, and the overall usability of your display investments.
- Dynamic height-adjustment and smooth motion: The Kontour K1D delivers effortless height changes and precise positioning with a refined balance of resistance and ease. Its dynamic mechanism allows quick transitions between tasks, enabling you to raise or lower your monitor to eye level, reduce neck strain, and adapt quickly to standing or sitting work modes. This flexibility is ideal for design professionals, medical staff, and anyone who spends long periods in front of a screen. The result is a more comfortable, efficient workflow with less fatigue at the end of the day.
- Centris Extreme Tilt technology for unparalleled tilt range: Experience ultra-smooth tilting with minimal friction, enabling accurate viewing angles even when your monitor is mounted at the edge of the desk or in tight spaces. The Centris tilt system ensures that tilt resistance remains consistent throughout the range, so you can tilt from almost vertical to broad angles without fighting gravity. This feature is especially valuable for users who need precise angle control during video editing, CAD work, or collaborative brainstorming sessions where multiple team members view the same display from varying positions.
- Landscape and portrait orientation with full motion: The K1D supports 360-degree rotation and easy orientation changes between landscape and portrait modes. Whether you’re developing long-form content, coding, or reviewing tall medical imagery, you can switch orientations without removing the monitor or adjusting mounting hardware. The instant orientation change keeps your workflow fluid and helps preserve an optimal viewing distance and posture.
- VESA compatibility and robust weight capacity: Built to accommodate a wide array of displays, the arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75 mm and 100x100 mm and is rated for a substantial weight range. This makes the Kontour K1D suitable for most common office, clinical, and professional monitors, while providing a secure, stable hold throughout daily use. The solid construction minimizes flex and wobble, delivering reliable performance even in high-traffic environments.
- Efficient mounting, cable management, and lasting finish: The desk clamp and optional grommet mount offer flexible installation options that preserve desktop space. The integrated cable management system routes power and data cables cleanly along the arm, reducing clutter and improving safety. Finished in a durable silver coat, the arm maintains its sleek appearance through daily use, cleaning, and repositioning, making it an attractive addition to modern workspaces and patient care environments alike.

How to install Chief Kontour Mounting Arm for Monitor
Step 1: Prepare your workspace by choosing a sturdy desk edge that can support the weight of the mounted monitor arm and the monitor itself. Clear the area of clutter and ensure there is adequate space for full range of motion. If you will use the grommet mount, check for a suitable grommet hole and clearance beneath the desk to accommodate mounting hardware.
Step 2: Attach the desk clamp to the edge of the desk. Open the clamp to fit the desk thickness and securely tighten the knob or screw until the clamp is firmly anchored. Verify there is no movement by applying light pressure to the base. If you plan to use the grommet mount, prepare the desk by drilling or using the existing grommet hole and insert the mounting hardware as directed in the manual.
Step 3: Connect the Kontour arm to the base plate. Ensure the joint is aligned and secure, then lock the joint so the arm can extend and retract smoothly. Confirm that the base is firmly attached and that the arm moves without binding.
Step 4: Attach the VESA plate to your monitor using the appropriate screws for your monitor’s pattern (75x75 mm or 100x100 mm). With the help of a second person if needed, mount the monitor onto the arm’s VESA interface and secure the plate with the provided hardware. Check that the monitor is level and stable before proceeding.
Step 5: Route cables through the built-in management channels and along the arms to keep wires organized and out of the way. This step helps prevent tangling and keeps the workspace neat, which is especially valuable in healthcare settings where cleanliness and organization are critical.
Step 6: Power on and test the motion range. Gently adjust height, tilt, and rotation to confirm smooth operation across the full range of motion. If resistance is too high or too low, adjust the tension settings according to the included instructions to achieve the desired balance between ease of movement and stability.
Step 7: Perform a final safety check. Ensure all fasteners are tight, the monitor remains secure, and the cable management system sits flush against the arm. Confirm that the setup supports both landscape and portrait configurations and that there is no interference with desk drawers, keyboard trays, or lighting fixtures.
