Pardon the poor pic quality and the cord rat nest, just moved into the house about a month ago... I haven't had time to fully decide on my cable hiding method. The monitors will also all be mounted once I get 2 more mounts in =)

Prior to this I had 3x the 20" 1680x1050 monitors (I kept 2, the vertical ones). I wanted to upgrade to a large monitor and something that was 1920x1080. I gave the 3rd 20" to my wife to hook up to her laptop at her desk so she could have a bigger screen.

I also fully intended to mount all 4 monitors. I only had 3 mounts from my old set and I am waiting on a 4td to come in. We just bought our first house a month ago and I have been busy with tons of crap around the house haha!


EDIT:
Per request the middle 2 are new, the ones vertical on the sides are 2 of my old triple monitor setup.

2 new:

They are all hooked to one PC (I run dual GTS 250s)

Just for info, price, resolution, brand, model, are they all new or just additions and what made you want them over what you had?

Looks pretty damn sweet, but I would personally mount them (the two on the sides) on top of the the two middle ones :).

I'm waiting for my first 24" to land in the mail ^^, looks like I'm going to have to wait until tuesday though...

Looking at getting mounts for some screens... rather annoying that the mounts often cost as much as the monitors. lol

Looks fantastic mate. I can totally recommend the Ergotron monitor mount range. Totally top notch and worth every dollar. Your right tho they are pricey as hell vs the LCD's you mount on them but your stands will last you through many screens.

I was using two mounts with desk clamps that both supported 2 19" LCD's each. The mounting kits come with plates so if your monitor supports either the 100mm or 75mm standard you can adjust it.

Right now I'm only using two screens. A Dell 27" which is not mounted due to the fantastic stand it comes with to allow it to raise/tilt swivel etc and I'm using an Acer 24" display mounted on one display so that it can hang slightly off the edge of my desk as I now share my wide desk with the wifes computer.

Hoping one dya to move to a setup like yours, I'm so jealous of your desk space. :)

Nothing to see here

Edit: I was adjusting my monitor positions while this thread was up and my X-keys stick erroneously posted some of my macros. :)
