Since I haven't seen this arm mentioned on the site, I thought I would mention it here. I picked up an HP BT861AT monitor arm a couple weeks ago. It was less than $70 with tax and shipping. The arm seems to be new old stock that is still floating around out there. The arm was manufactured by Ergotron and sold by HP originally during the 2010s. The physical specs of the arm match with the Ergotron LX. The only differences being that HP recommended the arm for displays 7-20 lbs. and up to 24", whereas Ergotron rates the LX for displays 7-25 lbs. and up to 34", but doesn't guarantee full vertical motion beyond 25 lbs. My display is a 32" LG that weighs in just shy of 12 lbs., and the arm works great with it.
Ergotron HP Monitor Arm
Like the Amazon Basics arm, this very much seems to be a rebadged LX. The only HP logo on it is a plastic piece that was screwed into the base.
For about 1/3 the price of an Ergotron or about 1/2 the price of the Amazon Basics, this arm is a great value.
