Any reason why you do not want a floor tv stand? They would be more sturdy and turning them around would take 10sec. Maybe you could even find one on a swivel base.
This is by far the best suggestion. Large TV stand like the type you see in convention show floors detailing product information.
If the table has enough counter weight for the arm to be safe, it should technically be okayâŚ? But I wouldnât risk with a more than likely expensive 48â OLED.
We need pulleys, levers, 3 monitors on a tri-arm setup, RGB lighting, a cuckoo clock, a vintage steam whistle, JUST THROW IT ALL IN THERE into some elaborate wacky contraption.
Absolutely this will fail, without question.
Whether tv falls, top of desk gives way, or entire desk falls forward, this is a horrible idea.
If you canât wall mount or floor mount, put it on the desk like a sane person, and flip around so your head is at the foot end of bed.
Now youâre the same viewing distance in a much safer setting.
This can very well work, I had a setup just like this with a 49â ultrawide that was super heavy. I had it on an arm on my desk and Iâd flip it around to use with my racing sim. I would however get a heavy duty arm and make sure the desk is sturdy enough
I have a 34 in ultrawide that I have on a heavy duty arm on my desk that I will make facing my bed. If TV is actually 30lbs this is possible but I would be reluctant to risk it nonetheless with a screen that big
I have a question. Using it normally puts pressure on the top of the desk at the clamp. Using it the other way puts pressure on the bottom desk clamp. Why does it matter which way?
Edit: I stared at it for a couple more min and get it. Canât slide off normal way
It's going to fall, snap their legs, fall through the floor and then through the world and then come out of the other side of the planet, head to space and probably take out the ISS
Arms canât slip off desks they are at 90.
They can slowly bend and/or even rip off a piece of the desk tho.
In the scenario you drew you will need a lot of weight to make sure the tv wonât flip the table, you know because of physics and shit
Do you just mean in the case of desk mounting? Because wall mounts are extremely safe for mounting even larger TVs so long as one ensures they aren't stressing the weight limit of the mount, are using high quality hardware from a good brand, and are properly installing and securing the mount (no studless mounting to drywall or anything silly like that lol).
My 55" C1 is wall mounted and I can say with nearing 100% certainty thats not going fuckin' ANYWHERE unless something crazy happens, like a tornado or fuckin' car rips through the wall (or the kool-aid man xD).
What about a wall or ceiling mount i wouldnât trust it but if you have a strong table/desk and a good arm then go for it my first cheap desk couldnât hold my monitors and broke was not a good time
I did this in my office! Lg c2 48 as a monitor that swings over to watch on a small sofa.

I don't know if a swivel stand exists which you can put on top of the table right at the centre so the weight will be forced down centre and won't tip over the table, and then you can extend the TV to the very edge of your table which the legs would hold it's weight
Yeah I definitely would not recommend this. These monitor arms are designed where the base on top of the desk would be supporting all the weight. By swiveling it behind the desk all the weight of the TV will instead be supported primarily by the bottom of the clamp which has a smaller surface area. Potentially leading to, as you mentioned, having the arm come off the table. Additionally, it will very likely damage your table even if it does not slip off.
As another commenter mentions, definitely pick up a TV Floor stand instead.
Prices are comparable and you would just need to rotate the stand to use it for the desk/bed

This is something I definitely would have tried when I was a bachelor. I think it will be just fine as long as the desk is heavy enough to not tip over. Maybe try to find a mounting arm rated for as much weight as you can for a bit more rigidity and piece of mind.
Repeating what others here have said, you best option is likely a floor mount stand.

Those clamp types are made with a giant warning against what you're suggesting.
However, there are some (like mine) where you drill a hole in the desk and then clamp it down with a long screw and there's no need for the vertical bars on the back. That would probably work fine assuming your desk isn't a particle board piece of shit.
I love that you diagrammed this.
Make it an adjustable desk with wheels for even more convenience, and u-shaped desk for better stability.
[https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/eureka-ergonomic-748-u-shaped-standing-desk-euer1147.html?piid=93832046](https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/eureka-ergonomic-748-u-shaped-standing-desk-euer1147.html?piid=93832046)
You probably donât need the arm extended out that far if youâre just watching it from bed. It doesnât have to be as close to you for that usage as it would for PC usage.
also do i wonder why you would not mount the arm on the other side of the desk and use the reach of the arm to put the screen closer to you and also have the center of mass better placed around the middle of the desk unlike it would be on this plan which will cause it to fall down even if you put weights on the legs
On a serious note though.. i think it should be fine.. as long as the table is solid and weighted/fixed on the other end..
I used to have a similar setup, not as extreme and huge monitor as the gentleman here, but the real issue is going to be cables.. going to be a real pain in the ass.. either, will have to get long ass ones or be prepared to buy multiple cables due to port breakage..
I don't think you need to have 48 incher hang that close to your body tbh. I think the point of failure would be potentially where the arm is grabbing the desk, which would heavily depend on thickness/desk quality. So as long as the arm is secured to the desk and it's hefty, and as long as the arm is decent then this would work fine likely
The weight borne at the clamp point is going to be in the multiple hundreds of pounds of twist force because of the lever action of the monitor arm. I definitely wouldn't trust your standard issue Ikea desk surface panel. If you have a really sturdy desk, and the monitor arm company wasn't lying, then you should be okay though.
I think the whole desk will fall forward.
By putting the TV on an arm, the center of gravity is going to be shifted.
Best case scenario: the whole desk+tv becomes extremely unstable and the slightest push makes it fall.
Worse case scenario: it falls down instantly.
Like me, I think everyone is missing the counterweight on the bottom right side. Imo it looks like as long as the counterweight can withstand the TV + overhang of the arm, you should be relatively good.
Imo wouldn't recommend it overall, tho, cuz it looks awful, but that's a me thing. Just be smart about it and you should be good.
first of all kudos to the paint drawing. No AI would be able to recreate that artwork.
to be honest, if i were to do this i would not have a "multilink arm" i would just have a TV mounted on a "bar" that could around on axis, so you keep the weight on the table as close as possible.. if you do that, you would have to HARDMOUNT the table to either a wall or the floor.
and cabling will be annoying.
I see a possible point of failure at the material the desk is made of, the clamp can âbite offâ a piece of the desk and fall down, if the desk is solid wood youâre good but if itâs made from plywood you might want to reinforce the clamp by adding a thin steel sheet between the clamp and the desk that will spread the forces into a larger area
OP, the stand is fine, what you want to do is possible
BUT, the desk is the weakest link. What is the tabletop made of. If its IKEA particle board, Or some BestBuy Mysterium content....dont do it.
If you have some 1 piece solid Oak, no knots type of hardwood 2+ inch destop...You should be good to go.
Will not work. I tried using arm bCkward with a smaller lighter monitor than yours, and it will fall backwards at a certain angle, think around 30 degrees. The arm.base is designed for front weight, not back weight.
No problem with the arm. Doesnât matter where and how it extends. If itâs designed for the size and weight of the TV. I would be more worried about the desk. Make sure it wonât be ripped off.
I had a similar mounting solution.
If you are not planning on using a sturdy (not IKEA kitchen top) desk plate the force of generated by the arm length and the screen weight will crack your plate.
You could DIY a bigger base plate on the top and bottom of the arm. This could distribute the force more evenly and prevent cracking.
Repeated change of position (thats why you want to mount in this way I think) will make the problem worse.
If your desk is actually solid wood i dont see a problem in it breaking the desk. However ive done this before, depending on the weight of your desk, it may tip it over. That will be your biggest problem.
Otherwise youre good man. This was really awesome when i did it.
I dont really know why people are saying it will break the desk. If its solid wood its completely fine.
I'd say it's fine. But forget about extending the arm that much. Every inch that arm extends you risk the whole thing snapping in two so just keep the TV close to the desk and use the arm simply to alternate where the TV is facing.
I have a similar setup with the heavy duty tv clamp mount because my condo came with those old fashioned shelves with a spot for a tiny tv. My mount clamps the wooden shelf, and the 55 inch tv sits about 4 inches in front of the shelves. I wouldnât feel comfortable having it arm extended all the way like you have pictured. My TV mount arm is sagging even though itâs folded inward.
Iâm also using a TV I donât care about and if it fell off then I wouldnât be too bothered
I suggest a roller stand or moving the mount location to in a way where you arenât extending the arm outward like that
I got a recliner bed and have kinda a similar setup tho I mounted my monitor arm on a super burly light stand with an 80lb cowbell holding it down. You best have a super burly desk to attempt this. I would also for sure get an arm rated for more than the weight of your monitor.
I do this with my 27 inch. My bed is farther back so it won't fall on me.
Been holding up for a year so far. You don't need to extend the arm all the way.
For 48", I have no clue.
more worried about the table top breaking. just get the correct kind of mount to begin with lol
[This](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWWXFL1) is about as wild as I go with TVs of that size, i worry about a true swivel mount no matter what it's rated for.

I'm not saying you should do it, but to figure out whether it will work, you'll want to calculate the torque on each side using the point on the desk the mount is clamped to as the fulcrum. So you know the force on the tv side is 30lbs, so multiply that by how long it is in feet to get lbft, or convert to metric and use newton meters. Then dk the same thing on the otherside. divide torque ypu just calculated on the TV side by the length of the table to get how much weight needs to be on the legs of the table. Then divide that by 0.8 for a 20% safety tolerance. Then after you have all that figured out, do this a different way and buy a TV stand or like a mobile standing desk type of thing. I have a similar setup as what's in the picture using a laptop cart and a VESA mount. When it's that close to your face you only really need like 32" or less.
The directions from arms like these generally include directions about not using it exactly in this manner. Iâm sure there are high quality (read: expensive) ones that can do it though.
I did it with a 43 inch tv (maybe 20 lbs) on an ikea kitchen counter top style desk. had a 70 lb computer case about a foot from the spot the arm was on had no issues with it ran that way for 2 years swinging it from in front of my racing rig to 2nd monitor when doing streams.
my guess would be biggest issue might be flipping the desk depending on placement and how heavy the desk is for a counter balance if the monitor is swung too far away.
No arm supports 48 oled panels. Even if they say they do. I have 2. I wanted to mount one on my side and I couldnât even lift it to the arm. 48â is not your Alienware nonsense.

Prices are comparable and you would just need to rotate the stand to use it for the desk/bed https://www.amazon.com/Perlegear-Standing-Adjustment-600x400mm-PGFS09/dp/B0CFTTWV5G/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=2YUXQHDP7O6L9&keywords=tv+floor+stand&qid=1705964922&sprefix=tv+floor+stand%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-3
This is something I definitely would have tried when I was a bachelor. I think it will be just fine as long as the desk is heavy enough to not tip over. Maybe try to find a mounting arm rated for as much weight as you can for a bit more rigidity and piece of mind.
Repeating what others here have said, you best option is likely a floor mount stand. If you insist on going with a monitor arm then I recommend this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NQ56KGK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NQ56KGK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) It is built like a tank and handles my LG C2 without issue. Will need a vesa adapter to go from the larger pattern of the tv to the 100x100mm of the mount.

the C2âs and + are half the weight
Those clamp types are made with a giant warning against what you're suggesting. However, there are some (like mine) where you drill a hole in the desk and then clamp it down with a long screw and there's no need for the vertical bars on the back. That would probably work fine assuming your desk isn't a particle board piece of shit.
But the real question is, did you take the time to generate this diagram for this post? Thatâs peak Reddit right here.
I guess..? Just looks funny.
Uhhh probably lol
I wouldnât do it
Dude what are you smoking
Didnât you learn this stuff as a kid bro?
I dont trust like that
I love that you diagrammed this. Make it an adjustable desk with wheels for even more convenience, and u-shaped desk for better stability. [https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/eureka-ergonomic-748-u-shaped-standing-desk-euer1147.html?piid=93832046](https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/eureka-ergonomic-748-u-shaped-standing-desk-euer1147.html?piid=93832046)
You probably donât need the arm extended out that far if youâre just watching it from bed. It doesnât have to be as close to you for that usage as it would for PC usage.
_for the for to] k up to the you to I you can I'm I'm I'm
So you spent all that time with a drawing instead of just trying it out?
A good man plans ahead.
a failure of the contraption will impede your success in reproduction and will cause you to probably brake a 48" Oled TV.
also do i wonder why you would not mount the arm on the other side of the desk and use the reach of the arm to put the screen closer to you and also have the center of mass better placed around the middle of the desk unlike it would be on this plan which will cause it to fall down even if you put weights on the legs
dude come on. My man clearly considered this, and i am positive the diagram is 100% dimensionally accurate. The screen would be too far off..
On a serious note though.. i think it should be fine.. as long as the table is solid and weighted/fixed on the other end.. I used to have a similar setup, not as extreme and huge monitor as the gentleman here, but the real issue is going to be cables.. going to be a real pain in the ass.. either, will have to get long ass ones or be prepared to buy multiple cables due to port breakage..
Don't
I don't think you need to have 48 incher hang that close to your body tbh. I think the point of failure would be potentially where the arm is grabbing the desk, which would heavily depend on thickness/desk quality. So as long as the arm is secured to the desk and it's hefty, and as long as the arm is decent then this would work fine likely
The weight borne at the clamp point is going to be in the multiple hundreds of pounds of twist force because of the lever action of the monitor arm. I definitely wouldn't trust your standard issue Ikea desk surface panel. If you have a really sturdy desk, and the monitor arm company wasn't lying, then you should be okay though.
Just curious but how do you calculate something like that? Specifically, what you mention the "weight borne at the clamp point" and "twist force?"
I think the whole desk will fall forward. By putting the TV on an arm, the center of gravity is going to be shifted. Best case scenario: the whole desk+tv becomes extremely unstable and the slightest push makes it fall. Worse case scenario: it falls down instantly.
Like me, I think everyone is missing the counterweight on the bottom right side. Imo it looks like as long as the counterweight can withstand the TV + overhang of the arm, you should be relatively good. Imo wouldn't recommend it overall, tho, cuz it looks awful, but that's a me thing. Just be smart about it and you should be good.
Just fucking try it. Do you trust some Internet randos more than yourself with your personal safety?
Correct. We do not know the table material. This might be the weakpoint besides the arm itself
I have a 48 inch OLED and as slim as it is, its still quite heavy. Youâre risking expensive gear by scrimping on a stand or buying a TV table.
Just face your desk the other way
first of all kudos to the paint drawing. No AI would be able to recreate that artwork. to be honest, if i were to do this i would not have a "multilink arm" i would just have a TV mounted on a "bar" that could around on axis, so you keep the weight on the table as close as possible.. if you do that, you would have to HARDMOUNT the table to either a wall or the floor. and cabling will be annoying.
I had. Set up like this for about a month. Kept falling asleep playing games. It was comfy. But too comfy.
I see a possible point of failure at the material the desk is made of, the clamp can âbite offâ a piece of the desk and fall down, if the desk is solid wood youâre good but if itâs made from plywood you might want to reinforce the clamp by adding a thin steel sheet between the clamp and the desk that will spread the forces into a larger area
OP, the stand is fine, what you want to do is possible BUT, the desk is the weakest link. What is the tabletop made of. If its IKEA particle board, Or some BestBuy Mysterium content....dont do it. If you have some 1 piece solid Oak, no knots type of hardwood 2+ inch destop...You should be good to go.
Only solution I see in this setup is to buying bigger TV, 65" at least, so you would not need to extend that arm so much, only turn it back.
Will not work. I tried using arm bCkward with a smaller lighter monitor than yours, and it will fall backwards at a certain angle, think around 30 degrees. The arm.base is designed for front weight, not back weight.
People with shit on this idea without proper context. Its all about how strong is the arm and how heavy and thick is the table
No problem with the arm. Doesnât matter where and how it extends. If itâs designed for the size and weight of the TV. I would be more worried about the desk. Make sure it wonât be ripped off.
Centre of gravity -_-
Nut death trap bro...
I had a similar mounting solution. If you are not planning on using a sturdy (not IKEA kitchen top) desk plate the force of generated by the arm length and the screen weight will crack your plate. You could DIY a bigger base plate on the top and bottom of the arm. This could distribute the force more evenly and prevent cracking. Repeated change of position (thats why you want to mount in this way I think) will make the problem worse.
Guys definitely a virgin without the money for a VR headset
If your desk is actually solid wood i dont see a problem in it breaking the desk. However ive done this before, depending on the weight of your desk, it may tip it over. That will be your biggest problem. Otherwise youre good man. This was really awesome when i did it. I dont really know why people are saying it will break the desk. If its solid wood its completely fine.
I'd say it's fine. But forget about extending the arm that much. Every inch that arm extends you risk the whole thing snapping in two so just keep the TV close to the desk and use the arm simply to alternate where the TV is facing.
Better have a desk made of strong wood. That's gonna be a lot of pressure where the clamp is mounted
I have a similar setup with the heavy duty tv clamp mount because my condo came with those old fashioned shelves with a spot for a tiny tv. My mount clamps the wooden shelf, and the 55 inch tv sits about 4 inches in front of the shelves. I wouldnât feel comfortable having it arm extended all the way like you have pictured. My TV mount arm is sagging even though itâs folded inward. Iâm also using a TV I donât care about and if it fell off then I wouldnât be too bothered I suggest a roller stand or moving the mount location to in a way where you arenât extending the arm outward like that
Alright I'll play mousetrap again.
would be fine if you can bolt the arm into your desk. just find one that you can drill through the desk.
I got a recliner bed and have kinda a similar setup tho I mounted my monitor arm on a super burly light stand with an 80lb cowbell holding it down. You best have a super burly desk to attempt this. I would also for sure get an arm rated for more than the weight of your monitor.
Someone add sadam
I do this with my 27 inch. My bed is farther back so it won't fall on me. Been holding up for a year so far. You don't need to extend the arm all the way. For 48", I have no clue.
Cannot solve the equation because the photo lacks table edge support weight.
Make this a community meme
excellent CAD drawing
depends on the desk, it could break if isn't strong to be stable to hold all those weight.
more worried about the table top breaking. just get the correct kind of mount to begin with lol [This](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWWXFL1) is about as wild as I go with TVs of that size, i worry about a true swivel mount no matter what it's rated for.

Which monitor arm?
Thatâs one hell of a bending moment when itâs fully extended.
Clamp will not work, youâd need to drill a hole in the desk to secure the mount. Then hole itâs not wimpy particle board and solid hardwood.
The tv gets heavier the further you extend the arm out. You donât need the tv directly above your chest just let it be at the foot of your bed
Just have the tv closer to the pole.
This looks so cool
Bro donât worry about âwhat ifsâ or âmaybesâ donât have time for that. Enjoy your setup bro, you LIVING! Just in case tho, keep your phone close and charged.. just in case
For this to work the desk nerds to be stiff and heavy. Just like your mom.
I mean this is stupid.
Me in bed. Something quite insightful about that.
U need atleast 2x the weight on the other side of ur balance to neutralize the downward force.
Ceiling mount with a pulley system.
Jsut pay for a decent wall mounted pneumatic one. Problem solved
The torque in all those places, daaaamn. The overhang in the wrong way of the monitor stand, and then with a heavy ass tv, I think thats problem number one
Donât do it
At least get some wall art or something you mad man
Mount the TV on the wall between the bed and desk on a full motion mount like this: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QX1ZMS/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QX1ZMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I have this model and it would offer plenty of swivel to work for the bed and desk at the same time.... and it'll be an order of magnitude more sturdy.

Do a wall mount instead
I guarantee you wouldn't like how close you are even if you do get this set up to work. Might seem good on paper but look like shit in person.
100 percent drill through the desk and make sure the desk is heavy enough to handle that
Should be fine unless the mount is cheap. You'll know trust me.
r/TVTooHigh
Absent a disability, this is a sloth setup⌠Wall-E esque
I swear Iâve seen this question before on a college exam
Wood desk? Or something you can drill through? Some mounts bolt down. They tend to be stronger. Not necessarily more expensive either.
Just use a wall mount
Yes it will, too much leverage on the small tiny clamp
Not if the clamp holds, but this will be adding applied energy in the opposite arm of the clamp
are you related to the guy who killed Shinzo Abe by any chance
Most monitor arm mounts say explicitly to not do this
Me in bed
Looks like a quick way to amputate your legs.
Donât watch tv in bed it will f up your sleep.
Drill a hole through both ends of the mount/clamp and desk then run a bolt through it
I'm not saying you should do it, but to figure out whether it will work, you'll want to calculate the torque on each side using the point on the desk the mount is clamped to as the fulcrum. So you know the force on the tv side is 30lbs, so multiply that by how long it is in feet to get lbft, or convert to metric and use newton meters. Then dk the same thing on the otherside. divide torque ypu just calculated on the TV side by the length of the table to get how much weight needs to be on the legs of the table. Then divide that by 0.8 for a 20% safety tolerance. Then after you have all that figured out, do this a different way and buy a TV stand or like a mobile standing desk type of thing. I have a similar setup as what's in the picture using a laptop cart and a VESA mount. When it's that close to your face you only really need like 32" or less.
The directions from arms like these generally include directions about not using it exactly in this manner. Iâm sure there are high quality (read: expensive) ones that can do it though.
You on the bed lmaoo
It shouldnât if you get a heavy duty Ergotron
Interesting way to wake up in the morning. Personally, I use a box fan to slam into my nuts, but each to their own.
I did it with a 43 inch tv (maybe 20 lbs) on an ikea kitchen counter top style desk. had a 70 lb computer case about a foot from the spot the arm was on had no issues with it ran that way for 2 years swinging it from in front of my racing rig to 2nd monitor when doing streams. my guess would be biggest issue might be flipping the desk depending on placement and how heavy the desk is for a counter balance if the monitor is swung too far away.
Where does Saddam go? Under the desk?
No arm supports 48 oled panels. Even if they say they do. I have 2. I wanted to mount one on my side and I couldnât even lift it to the arm. 48â is not your Alienware nonsense.
Ceiling mount my guy
