Will it hold two 27-inch monitors?

The 31 lb total capacity is the real limit. Two 27-inch monitors often exceed it once you add the mounts, so check each screen's weight. It is designed around 24-inch displays.

Does it clamp to the desk or stand on its own?

It stands on its own weighted base. Nothing clamps to the desk edge and no drilling is needed, but the base needs a flat, deep surface.

Can each monitor rotate to portrait?

Yes. Each sliding support rotates 360°, so either screen can go portrait or landscape independently.

Is it VESA compatible?

Yes, the sliding supports use standard VESA mounting. Check your monitor's hole pattern and weight before buying.

A 14-inch post, the arch, two sliding monitor supports and the base. Monitors and cables are not included.

How is it different from a dual monitor arm?

An arm clamps or bolts to the desk and reaches further, with easier height changes. The DS100 is a freestanding stand with a simpler, sturdier layout and less reach.
