Clamp-on seems very unwise to me for some reason. Can't imagine what. ;)

The desired effect is to have the LCD on top of the device, but much lower
(ie, hanging off the front of it) so that the screen is at a comfortable
viewing height. That's non-trivial with an arm that has lots of flexible
bits as these do, especially since the LCD arm must not interfere with the
sliding table at the bottom of the device.
