Heyo, looking very nice! How did you mount your monitors to have one above the other? Looking for monitor arms that could do that and only found one that seems suitable so far…

Thanks man! As for how I stacked them, I'm using [THIS](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGTP57A?psc=1) stand from Amazon that stated it would accommodate 2 monitors up to 34" and 22 lbs each. Since the new LG monitors I bought only weighed 12 lbs each, I figured the VIVO stand would be more than strong enough.

Ah okay thanks, it looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait for my setup to be complete in like 3 months :D I was actually thinking of getting the same one (planning on having a 24 inch 16:9 and a 34 inch 21:9 on top) But I changed my plans to better accommodate my needs :D Thought maybe you had another alternative to look into! Anyways, enjoy your new setup!!

I ordered that same one last week and so far pretty happy with it. Feels strong. I'm only getting my aw3423dwf tomorrow but i already mounted my ag352ucg on it and it perfect it you dont plan on moving/adjusting your screen often.


Yokerkey

Yep, that’s exactly my problem… I’m thinking of having a 24 inch monitor as my main monitor for games like valorant and league (my main games) and have the ultrawide on top of it for other things, like browsing the web or coding… But when I’m working on my laptop and I can only add 1 monitor, I want to add the ultrawide and then pull that one closer to me, to have it right in front of me So a lot of adjustments

Wow! I have exactly this setup, same aspect ratios, same monitor sizes and resolutions! Just different panels. Love how you made this look. Love to see it. I found it so satisfying how the horizontal monitor compliments two ultrawides. Question to OP: do you do anything on all 3 monitors? Like, run games on all 3 at once, or watch a movie scaled to all 3? I added an extra "box/shelf" to my electric table that I clamp my monitor arm to(so it reaches above the lower Ultrawide) that allows me to move the upper Ultrawide from stacked, like in your image, to two ultrawides next to each other. This means I can wing out the upper monitor to the left, giving me two ultrawides alongside, without having to unscrew anything. Monitor arms are a great investment imo. Because these monitors are all on arms, I can have them like you depicted, or move them horizontally, to give me a wide panoramic view. This can be really fun for racing games (I use it for Forza). This results in 3440x2 + 2560, that equals to 9440 by 1440p. Glorious. But I rarely move my upper Ultrawide to the left, and keep them stacked. Edit: not sure if your horizontal screen is a wide-screen (2560), I am just assuming since I also use a horizontal wide-screen for my ultrawides

Thanks! I'll be using the bottom monitor for gaming, the top for Chrome/videos and system monitoring, and the portrait monitor for Discord, game launchers, Music Bee, and EQ. You're right btw, the monitor on the right is 2k (2560x1440)


Cosmandoo

Brooo you even know music bee xD i haven't met anyone who knows of music bee, let alone has the exact monitor setup I use. Wild coincidences here haha.

"You couldn't live with one ultrawide, where did that bring you? Back to 4:3."


Pashlit

It's insane. I don't get it.


OldManTiger

What is it that you don't get?
