HyperX is known for its gaming peripherals like keyboards, mice, and headsets. Today, the company has announced that they are entering the gaming monitor space with the Armada 25 and 27. What sets these monitors apart is that they include an ergonomic arm and desk mount right in the box.
“This is an exciting time for HyperX as we enter the gaming monitor market with the new HyperX Armada gaming monitor line. Offering high refresh rates and low response times for enhanced gaming experiences along with an ergonomic arm and desk mount for long hours of comfort, the Armada gaming monitor family provides convenience and functional design in all-in-one packages.”
Tiffany Rodriguez, PC displays senior manager, HyperX
Typically, monitors come with a stand which isn’t the easiest to move around and doesn’t always give users the best ergonomic setup. With the included monitor ergonomic arm which supports both c-clamp or grommet installation, the Armada 25 and 27 can easily be set up with a quick-release system for better control over monitor positioning, as well as clearing up valuable desk space. The ergonomic arm is also compatible with non-HyperX monitors by way of a standard VESA mounting plate. In addition, a Gaming Mount addon can be added to the system to allow for up to four 25-inch or two 27-inch monitors to be mounted on the same arm.
