The Invision MX200 is an ergonomic gas-assisted monitor arm designed to enhance your workspace by providing flexible and stable monitor positioning. This device allows you to adjust your screen to an optimal viewing angle, reducing strain and improving productivity. The monitor arm is suitable for a range of screen sizes and features integrated cable management to keep your desk tidy.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Invision MX200 is to securely hold and position a monitor, offering a wide range of adjustments. It utilizes a gas-assisted mechanism, which allows for smooth and effortless movement of the monitor. This mechanism ensures that once the monitor is positioned, it remains stable without drifting or sagging. The arm can be installed in two main ways: via a clamp base for desks with an edge, or through a desk for a more permanent and flush installation. Both methods ensure a secure attachment to your work surface.

The monitor arm is designed to accommodate VESA-compliant monitors, supporting both 75x75mm and 100x100mm mounting patterns. This broad compatibility ensures that it can be used with a wide variety of LCD/LED monitors. The integrated cable management system is a key feature, allowing users to route their monitor cables neatly along the arm, preventing tangles and creating a clean, organized aesthetic.

Usage Features:

The Invision MX200 offers extensive adjustability to cater to individual ergonomic needs. Users can easily adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and rotation of their monitor.

Height Adjustment: The gas-assisted mechanism allows for fluid vertical movement, enabling users to raise or lower their monitor to eye level, which is crucial for maintaining good posture and reducing neck and eye strain. The tension of the gas piston can be adjusted to balance the weight of the monitor, ensuring that the arm moves smoothly and holds its position once set. If the screen moves upwards on its own, the tension should be adjusted in the minus (-) direction (clockwise). Conversely, if the screen moves downwards, the tension should be adjusted in the plus (+) direction (anti-clockwise). This fine-tuning ensures the monitor remains stable at any desired height.
Tilt Adjustment: The monitor can be tilted forwards or backwards to eliminate glare and achieve the perfect viewing angle. The tilt tension mechanism can be tightened if the screen moves too freely, ensuring it stays in place once adjusted. This is achieved by turning the Allen key head adjustment screw in the plus direction.
Swivel and Rotation: The arm allows for horizontal swivel, enabling users to share their screen with others or reposition it for different tasks. Furthermore, the monitor can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing for quick switching between landscape and portrait orientations. This feature is particularly useful for tasks such as coding, graphic design, or document review, where a vertical screen orientation can be more efficient. It is important to ensure that cables are not trapped or broken during rotation and to avoid rotating more than 90 degrees in each motion to prevent damage.
Cable Management: The integrated cable management system is designed to keep cables organized and out of sight. Cables can be easily slid into clips and channels along both the upper and lower arms. It is crucial to leave enough slack in the cables to allow the monitor arm to move freely without pulling or stretching the cables, which could lead to damage or disconnections.
Installation Flexibility: The Invision MX200 offers two installation options. The clamp base installation is ideal for desks with an edge, providing a sturdy attachment without the need for drilling. The clamp section can be adjusted to fit various desk thicknesses and is tightened with a knob. For a more permanent setup, the through-desk installation involves drilling a 10mm hole in the desktop, through which a threaded rod secures the arm. Both methods are designed for stability and security. When mounting heavy screens, it is advised to evaluate the desktop surface; for softer natural wood surfaces, adding protection may be considered to prevent marks or indentations.
USB Cable Integration (Optional): For users who require convenient access to USB ports, the monitor arm base can accommodate USB cables (not supplied). This involves removing a cable cover, adding the USB cables, and then re-attaching the cover, integrating the ports directly into the monitor arm base for easy access.

Maintenance Features:

The Invision MX200 is designed for durability and minimal maintenance, but a few practices can ensure its long-term performance.

Gas Piston Performance: To ensure the optimal performance of the gas piston, it is recommended to fully extend the arm several times per month. This helps to keep the mechanism lubricated and functioning smoothly. The gas piston mechanism is not user-serviceable, and any interference could result in injury or damage, so it should be handled with caution.
Tension Adjustment: Regular checks of the monitor arm's tension are important, especially if the monitor's weight changes or if the arm starts to drift. Adjusting the tension as described in the usage features section will maintain the arm's ability to hold the monitor securely in place.
Cable Management Check: Periodically inspect the cable management system to ensure cables are still securely routed and have adequate slack. This prevents cables from snagging, stretching, or becoming damaged during arm adjustments.
Cleaning: The monitor arm can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting: In the event of any issues with compatibility or fitting, the manufacturer provides support. Users are encouraged to contact the support team for assistance, ensuring that any problems can be resolved effectively.

The Invision MX200 is built for indoor use only, and using it outdoors could lead to product failure and severe personal injury. The manufacturer disclaims liability for modifications, improper installation, or installation beyond the specified weight range. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions to ensure safe and effective use of the product.
