Humanscale M8.1 Single Monitor Arm
Heavy-Duty Dynamic Screen Positioning
The Humanscale M8.1 Single Monitor Arm provides smooth, adjustable positioning for larger and heavier monitors.
Its weight-compensating mechanism allows the screen to be moved for height, viewing distance, angle and orientation, helping maintain an appropriate screen position as the user, task or working posture changes.
M8.1 Single - part of Humanscale’s revolutionary new monitor arm line, instantly improves the comfort, health and productivity of any workspace.
The M8.1 supports a better working posture and creates more usable desktop space as well as helping maintain a clutter-free working environment.
Its quick release, press and connect design makes assembly a breeze and eliminates the need for most Allen keys.

Features & Benefits:
- Allows user to view their monitor(s) at an optimal position
- Rubberized Cable Management makes it simple to run cords through a modular system for a clean, sleek and organized aesthetic
- A patented, weight-compensating spring technology enables smooth and uniform height adjustment

Who Is It For?
Suitable for users who:
- use larger or heavier monitors
- spend extended periods working at a screen
- need precise control over monitor height and viewing distance
- alternate between sitting and standing
- regularly reposition the screen for different tasks
- require a premium commercial monitor solution
Problem to Solve
Large monitors are often left on fixed stands because their additional weight makes repositioning difficult.
If the screen is too low, too far away or incorrectly angled, the user may compensate by leaning forward or changing head and neck position.
The M8.1 supports the monitor while allowing it to move easily into the preferred viewing position.
S E E™ — Primary
Visual Demand
The M8.1 supports S E E™ by helping users:
- establish appropriate screen height
- control viewing distance
- adjust screen angle and orientation
- reduce unnecessary forward head movement
- reposition larger displays as posture changes
- maintain screen alignment between sitting and standing
