Swivels are simple devices, working by basic mechanical rules, which allow you to turn or rotate the position of an appliance or furniture. They are more commonly used for TVs and monitors. What makes them so necessary for monitors is the fact that they allow you to basically switch positions however you like and you need. Since many displays have not so great viewing angles, and most of them give you headaches if you are not staying right in front of them, being able to swivel them on even 360 degrees will be a real bless.

Computer monitor swivels
This little device is generally purchased for home or office usage. It is a simple platform sitting on the top of a table or desk, fully rotary. However, you might find models that can be used to fix an LCD monitor on a wall. Depending on what type of display you have and on the position you intend to place it, you might want to choose combinations of plastic and metal, both of high quality, so they can sustain the weight of the monitor. Coming back to the table swivels, they can also be made by plastic and metal, but most of them only have a large platform and no arm at all.
Options
The offer is so various that you must carefully analyze it. There are models appropriate for specific weights and that need to also fit with your furniture. A fixed bracket, specially designed to be fixed on the wall, is a solid option. But there are also tilts and swivels for wall usage. There are brackets in two pieces. There are rack mounts. And the list can go on and on. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a reliable manufacturer, with good quality products, check the UMM series from Bosch. They have some really great devices for LCD monitors swiveling.
The C-Clamp arm
This swivel sure has a catchy look. Stylish, elegant and even ergonomic, it perfectly goes with an LCD monitor. The arm will allow you to tilt the display in various angles at ease. It has no complicated instructions for when you decide to install or dismount it. Your monitor’s safety was very important for the producers, so an alloy between aluminum and some strong metals is the foundation of this model. It has a compact design, to help you save as much space as possible and you can choose from three different but quick ways to use it: spring arm, pivot stand or simple swivel.
Once installed, on pivot you can rotate the display at 360 degrees, on swivel at 270 degrees and you can tilt it at only 40 degrees. It supports a maximum weight of 15 kilos. However, the C-Clip is most commonly used for table fixture, with the mention that the table should have between 20 and 60 m/m. And do not be worried that it could damage your furniture, the system is protective enough to keep that from happening.
Bosch offer
As I have previously suggested, Bosch is yet another option to consider. If you get the chance, look for the LW 30B model, which is a wall bracket supporting up to 12 kilos of weight.
