help North Bayou NB-100 FAQ

What monitor sizes is the North Bayou NB-100 compatible with?

The North Bayou NB-100 is designed for smaller, lighter monitors, making it a popular budget choice for users with screens in the 13-to-24-inch range. If your monitor is heavier or larger than approximately 27 inches, you should look at North Bayou's higher-capacity arms like the F160.

How does the North Bayou NB-100 compare to the Ergotron LX in build quality?

The NB-100 delivers similar articulating and swivel functionality at a fraction of the Ergotron LX's price, which typically costs two to three times more. The tradeoff is in materials—the Ergotron uses heavier-duty aluminum construction and carries a longer warranty, while the NB-100 is adequate for lighter-duty use.

Do I need to adjust the tension on the North Bayou NB-100 for my specific monitor?

Yes, most North Bayou arms require you to set the gas spring or tension to match your monitor's weight so it holds position without drifting. This calibration typically involves turning an adjustment bolt with the included Allen wrench until the arm stays put at your desired height.

Can I mount the North Bayou NB-100 on a desk without a grommet hole?

Yes, the NB-100 includes a desk C-clamp mount that attaches to the edge of your desk without requiring a pre-drilled hole. A grommet mount option is also typically included for desks that have a cable pass-through hole available.
