However, the larger 27” iMacs might not fit some dual monitor arm configurations.

If the iMac is your only monitor, then you are good to go. Make sure to look up the weight for the version that you have (which can be tricky, since the iMac hardware can change multiple times per year), or weigh it yourself to be sure. The most recent version of the iMac weighs up to 19.7 lbs (depending on model). The iMac is a heavy machine, and many monitor arms are simply not built to support the weight. It will also not work for the iMac Pro (iMac Pro users can purchase a conversion kit from Apple).

It’s important to note that the conversion kit only works for iMacs made after late 2011. The conversion kit allows you to mount the whole thing to a monitor arm and position it freely and ergonomically, saving yourself from neck strain at your standing desk. Even if you purchased your iMac with the stand attached, you can use a conversion kit that allows it to be VESA compatible (the universal standard for monitor mounting). The solution lies with third party manufacturers. And while that’s all well and good, what does it mean for iMac owners that bought their iMacs with the stand attached? Unlike the iMac Pro (which has separate mounting requirements), Apple does not currently offer a conversion kit for the regular iMac-you must purchase it pre-attached to the iMac when you buy your system. Nowadays, when you purchase an iMac, you can opt to receive a VESA adapter in lieu of the iMac’s classic stand. And Apple isn’t exactly known for making products that play nicely with others. Your built-in iMac stand can never match the ergonomic adjustability of a monitor arm at a standing desk. While this design may be iconic for its ease-of-use, it causes headaches in our modern world of standing desks (or more specifically, neck aches). Part of the appeal of an iMac is that it’s a complete functional computer in and of itself-as soon as you buy it, you can use it without worrying about setting up a peripheral monitor.
