How do I adjust the tension on a monitor arm that won't hold its position?

Most monitor arms have one or more tension adjustment screws accessible at the arm joint. The adjustment is usually a hex bolt or Phillips screw at the side of the joint or on the spring body — tighten (clockwise) to increase resistance, loosen (counter-clockwise) to decrease. If the arm sinks: tighten the main joint tension and/or increase the gas spring tension (usually a small hex screw at the spring collar). If the arm is too stiff to move: loosen the joint tension. If you're unsure where the adjustment is, check the manufacturer's documentation — it's often a tiny 2–3mm hex bolt that's easy to miss. Test with the monitor mounted after each adjustment.
