NZXT Canvas QHD 32Q Curved Review

Up Close – Stand Options

We have the curved 32Q in today, and nobody could accuse NZXT of wasting money and the environment on needlessly showy packaging. Considering most of us treat a box as something that just stops us playing with our new toy and then fills up our recycling bin, we approve.

  

Similarly we have two of the three stand options available. We haven’t got the double-arm, but we expect it to be of a similar quality as the single.

  

Because we obviously were sent the white monitor we also got the white stand, and as you can see it’s very familiar to anyone who has purchased a new monitor before. It clips in to the VESA mount, has cable routing options as well as height and tilt adjustment. All fairly standard stuff.

  
  

If you’ve never indulged in the excess of a monitor arm before then what follows is an absolute treat. You clamp them to the back of your desk with a vice like device, although the all metal footplate means you probably shouldn’t clamp it to a Chippendale table.

  

Screws affix it to the VESA mounting point on the back of the Canvas QHD 32Q and you’re ready to go. You can also see the tension screw on the top that is used to adjust how firmly it keeps your panel in place. Even at near full tension it’s buttery smooth to move your display around, and the joys of being able to place it exactly where you wish cannot be overstated. Have it flat for a hardcore pinball experience, vertical for your efforts in DoDonPachi, or easily be able to show people in the room that cool cat video you’ve just seen.

  

Where monitor arms really score highly is desk space. Without a giant “foot” you have all your desk available. Want to place your speakers right in front of you? Want to be able to push your keyboard beneath it whilst you have a working dinner? Want to have your keyboard on hand whilst racing or flying with a suitable peripheral? Or, just want to move your monitor entirely out of the way without having to lift it up? A good monitor arm – and the NZXT offering is a great one – has you covered.
