What is the difference between a button-release and continuous gas-spring adjustment on a monitor arm?

A continuous gas-spring arm allows height adjustment by simply pushing or pulling the monitor up or down — the gas spring provides resistance and holds the position without locks. This gives very fluid, quick adjustment. A button-release gas-spring (or click-stop mechanism) requires pressing a button or release lever before the arm moves, then releasing at the desired position to lock it. Button-release arms are preferred in environments where accidental nudging is a concern (high-traffic areas, clinics, classrooms). Continuous gas-spring arms are preferred for personal workstations where frequent ergonomic adjustment is desired and quick repositioning matters. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
