Hi all, as usual, I turn to the fine friends I have here, to see what they suggest, or even ask for pics of their setups. In the next month, I'm ordering 3x ASUS VG248QE Black 24 which will be on a lower level, but I will also be ordering either the new LG 29:1 ultrawidescreen or possibly if I get a good deal, another Samsung model 8000 . the latter will be placed above the other three monitors. Where I am having trouble, is I'm not finding any stands that fit my design here. I really don't want to go the DIY way, But if I have to, I will. To give an idea, the set up will be as such... LG Asus/Asus/Asus So put those noggin into over drive, and help me get the set up please. As always, many thanks ahead of time. Stephen. PS. Links to monitors if this helps... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=24-236-313&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=true&SelectedRating=5&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&SelectedRating5=5&chkPurchaseMark=on&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=2#scrollFullInfo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005396

Sorry guys, for some reason, this is not letting me break things into paragraphs for some reason. Never had this problem before.

It's time to man up, ditch those weak ass stands, and move onto radial arms (http://www.ergodirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=15713).

You'll never look back.

Thanks MiRai. Much appreciated man. I think the last time , I looked here for info, was a million years ago, and someone had turned a bunk Bed into a Desk with the monitors hanging. Radial Arms sounds like the way to go then.

Get a triple monitor stand for the bottom three then a radial arm for the top one.

I love my radial arms and I am very sad when I am looking at really cool monitors that I would like to purchase and they don't have VESA mounts (usually ultra-slim models). They're very expensive, but they're very heavy duty and likely to survive direct gunfire or any other attack of that nature. I didn't pay the $300 a piece like those guys charge because I hunted around for them over the course of a year and got lucky through random deals here or there; but I've got 6 of those bad boys and they're going to last me... forever (unless the VESA mount standard disappears from the monitor market before I'm dead).

EDIT: For example, here's someone on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Inovative-Radial-Arm-Computer-Monitor-Stand-mount-desk-top-3545-104-NEW-COND-/261077047030) that's getting rid of 10 of the short-arm versions of that same radial arm for about $80 off the original price (http://www.ergodirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=17104). Just gotta keep your eyes peeled. ;)
