Hey there,
Was just wondering if i ordered in the next few days would the stand arrive in Australia by Christmas? If you know how quick the postage is, of course.

Cheers

I can't make any promises for US or AUS postage. US postage claims 4-10 days, but AUS is on the absolutely high end of that average. I can say that if you order I ship same day, or next day (depending on time of order).

Hello,

First off I'd like to say that the stand I got is working great. Handles my 3x Asus and 1x Benq monitors great. Anyway, two items to bring up...
1) All the vesa mounts that I received with the stand are the adjustable type... I thought that the center monitor mount was non-adjustable (no vertical adjustment).
2) One of the adjustable mounts is missing the c-clip on the vertical screw. This keeps the monitor/mount from lowering properly.

Looking forward to replacing my center 23" Asus monitor with the new Asus 27" ROG 1440p 144hz monitor.

Regards,
KB

1 - Some of the transition units (as we were switching from v1 to v2) received all adjustable pivots. There is no functionality loss, and the 4th adjustable pivot gives you more flexibility.

2 - Sorry about that issue with you pivot. I've pulled your order and will get a replacement out to you ASAP.

Hi Skip,

One of the things I noticed while using the adjustable pivot as your center mount is that it "pushes" the monitor "out" away from the upper monitor by about an inch. Since I was upgrading from an Ergotech 3x monitor stand I had a non-adjustable pivot to install for the center monitor.

As for the pivot with the missing c-clip... don't worry about sending me a replacement. As I noted above, I had an Ergotech that I was upgrading (the new one holds larger monitors

) so I had a spare that I used. I'll look at my local hardware store for a c-clip to place on the pivot so it is all good.

Hi,

Just wondering if shipping arrangements can be made for New Zealand? I'm very keen on purchasing one of these stands but the shipping costs of an intermediary company would be double the actual cost of the stand!

Let me know if this is possible

It's already on its way to you. Had it shipped before I read this. Customer service!!! Now you won't be short any parts if you want to sell the old stand on eBay.

Hey WSGF!

So right now I have a 30" HP ZR30w 2560x1600 and two 28" Asus VN289Q. I currently game on the 30" and the two 28" monitors are on the right and left are for browsing and watching shows. I want to eventually change my central monitor with a dedicated 144Hz gaming monitor. I'm not allowed to drill any holes in my rental house so I'm looking for a stand that can hold the two 28" monitors on the right and left, a 27" gaming monitor in the center, and my 30" monitor top center. I'm concerned that the 30" is a little heavy to be on the top, but if there is a solution that would be awesome!

I'm also thinking about getting two stands, one for the three 28>27<28 and the other much taller for the 30, if I can't get them all in one stand.

Anyone have any recommendations?

RedFang, thanks for popping in the IRC. Sorry I wasn't around long enough to answer all your questions.

The 27-30-27 or 27-28-27 are both too big for the WSGF Ultimate. The one thing that would work is the WSGF Mega, which is basically two WSGF Ultimates merges together with the weight spread across two bases.

http://youtu.be/vjD_8GnGlzw

The video shows the stand using short poles, but it will also come with tall poles. However, the poles are not centered. They will be in a left and right positions. You may still be constrained on the height. Max physical height on the monitors is still 16".

Post subject: Question About WSGF Ultimate v2 Stand Bar Angles

Posted: 01 Jan 2015, 07:14

Hey I have a question about the WSGF Ultimate v2 Stand about the angles achievable with three 27 inch monitors. I plan on having three LG 27MB85R monitors on the bottom bar. I looked up the specifications (five segments each 12 inches long) and am wondering how much I could expect to angle in the side monitors. The monitors in question are 25.3 inches wide so I calculated that I would have about 8-9 inches of spare "length" to convert to angle. I am asking since I hope that I can get decent angles on the side monitors so it won't be too bad of a viewing angle from straight on. Thanks.

I've never actually owned 27" panels to test with (something I'm hoping to fix in the new year). But I know people have gotten 20-30 degrees. Maybe a little more. I've always run my panels around 30-35 degrees.

Well, I guess I can go test it out and see what happens. I'll report back on the findings and maybe post some pictures once it's all done and setup. (Might take a while depending on how well I can play the panel lottery with regards to bleed and glow)

Hey skip, I received the package today in the mail and was quite excited to start assembling the stand. One quick question, I am having quite a hard time inserting the pole into the base of the stand. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be this tight but I can't seem to push it in more than half an inch. I am putting all my weight in it and even then it won't budge. The paint on the pole seems to have chipped a little even because it is so tight. Any help is appreciated.

So im really interested in purchasing this...but I do have one big question. I see that it can support up 27" monitors. I currently have 3 24" asus vn247h-p and was looking to add a fourth. I was writing to see if I could set this up with my current monitors and run a 27" as the 4 fourth monitor in my 3x1 set up.

Currently, I run a 3x1 with a 47" as my accessory, but wanted to downsize a bit and make it a bit more practical.

Has anyone done a similar set up like Im looking to do? Thanks in advance!

this is my current set up....

Hey skip,

was wondering...Im looking at getting a desk with these dimensions....

Obviously, its a corner desk, would the monitor stand fit and have room for my keyboard and mouse?

Im having a hard time gauging the footprint of the monitor stand.

The base itself is roughly 41.5 cm (16.3") deep and 45.5 cm (17.9") wide. Can't find official measurements even on the Ergotech website, though.

You could use something like 3M spray adhesive. Should work fine.

Mine arrived today!

Less than an hour from opening the box to fully setup.

As a 16 year+ sysadmin I've worked with a number of different multi-monitor stands at the office and I can definitely say that this is by far the easiest one I've ever set up.

1x Acer 24" 1920x1080 V243H upside-down so the power button/LED isn't in the middle of everything.
3x Dell 24" 1920x1200 2405FPW - Nvidia Surround (5760x1200 - 6060x1200 w/ bezel correction)

Hello,
I'm new to the group and am sorry if I missed this question placed some where else.
I currently have 3 monitors (ASUS VN247H-p) running 3X1L and am eventually planning on getting 2 more of them so I can go 5X1P. In my book, I don't care about 4K, I want 5400X1920. But for right now 5760X1080 isn't bad, and I still need to see how 3240X1920 looks. Now, I just need to replace my crappy monitor stand I started out with back when I bought my 20" AOC TN panels.

Now to the big question, which stand do I start with, or do I just jump straight to the Ultimate? I didn't know if my 3 24" monitors would fit on the triple stand since they are 24" or if I wou;d need the XL upgrade and since I would need the 5 segment bar, do I just go ahead and order the big kit so I have everything I need already? All opinions are welcome. Thank you in advanced.

You want to go with the Ultimate. You'll have the short pole with three pivots for your current setup. When you're ready to do 5x1-P, you'll have the other two. If you go 3+1 as an interim setup, then you'll have the tall pole for that. If you go with the smaller "regular" triple, then upgrade, it will be more expensive. Also, upgrade parts aren't always in stock.

We used to carry it in the store, but only sold one out of a couple of years. I can put it back in there for you. The cost of the stand is $449. I believe the shipping will be $200, but I will need to double check with Ergotech. I don't stock this stand directly. They drop ship it.

Note that the stand will only hold 24" - 25" (with thin bezel) monitors. If you want larger, you'll need the WSGF Ultimate, and then add a 5x1-P upgrade kit. This will get you two bars and enough pivots for six panels.

If you get the "Hex" with the telescoping arms, it can hold some 27" panels, but it wasn't designed for it. You can check out the review that Linus Tech Tips did on the Triple w/ Wings, and how it barely holds the newer 27" panels.

I'll double check on the shipping on the Hex for you.

With the telescoping arms, the price is going to go up. You will be at the price of the WSGF Ultimate + extra bar. I would direct you to this forum thread, where a customer from Australia upgrades from the telescoping arm to the 5-segment arm (which is used in the WSGF Ultimate).

http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=26888

Given my experience, and his direct comparison of the two - I would recommend the product designed by the WSGF. It's sturdier, and will allow for more upgrade options in the future.

Yes. The WSGF Ultimate by itself will give you 3x1, 3+1 or 5x1. Add the extra bar and pivots in the 5x1-P upgrade kit (designed for users that have the basic Freedom Triple), and you'll have everything for the 3x2.

WSGF Ed is $374, upgrade kit is $149. Total for the hardware is $523. S/H for the two parts will be $310 at checkout. If I can get everything in one box it should be much cheaper, and I can refund the difference.

Full store is here - http://www.wsgf.org/catalog/stands

The WSGF Edition is the one with 5-segment bar.

http://www.wsgf.org/products/freedom-ws ... k-stand-v2

The arm in the upgrade kit slides onto the pole, and would be in place of the "mini bar" that gives the +1 monitor at the top.

Hello,
I just wanted to say that i just purchased the Ultimate monitor stand to run my 4 Dell 2709W monitors in a 3x1 setup. I just received my order the other day and was very excited to have all of my monitors set up and working. I did have a few questions. One of my adjustable pivots did have a missing c clamp and i am having a problem aligning the monitors.

I read the stand can hold my monitors as they each weight about 18 pounds but i am unable to line up the two monitors on the pivots. they seem to be drooping and i have adjusted the pivots as high up as they will go. any help here would be much appreciated.

But i must say that even with the adjustment issue i am currently having i absolutely love this stand

I can replace the pivot for you. Can you send me a picture of the setup in an email. You should have received an email from the WSGF Store with my personal email address. I may have some tips on how to make better adjustments.

Your stands are really on the edge of the specs. One thing we've had people do is use one of the adjustable pivots in the middle position. This will let you push it down to meet the outer two, when they are raised.

Glad you like it otherwise, and I'll be sure to get these issues resolved for you.

Is the Freedom Triple Desk Stand enough for these screens? They have thin bezels, so I'd rather go with the smallest stand I can find.

No. It is only designed for 3x 24" panels. The WSGF Ultimate is designed for 27".

Hi Skip, have you tried the 27 inch curved panel from samsung(or others) on the 3+1 config? I am planning to buy two Samsung 27 inch(planning to buy the third one during black Friday the yr) and your 3+1 config, Want to know if the 3+1 config support two 27 inch curved mounted on the outer mounts. Can the outer ones be adjusted to line up by the edge to cover the empty middle one?

Any chance the stand goes on sale again? :-)

Thanks Deathblade...

anujcb, I have not tried with curved 27" panels. I have tried with the curved 34" ultra-wide by LG. I've used in a triple Landscape with 2x 25" U2515 from Dell, and it worked fine (though REALLY big). I currently have it in PLP with those same to 25" on the L/R in Portrait.

I don't see what you couldn't adjust everything like you wanted. What's the model of Samsung?

I have another question, My final goal is to set up a 3+ 1 configuration, since I don't have the money right now to spend for this config right away I am planning to do the following in the order. Can you validate if this is a viable plan?

Buy Ergo tech - 100-D28-B13 for $214 - Is it available in WSGF or is it only available in ergotech website?
Buy two S27E510CS from costco - $598+tax

.....Hook up the two Samsung(S27E510CS) and an old Asus I have(VW266H) in 2+1 config

......In a few months time

Buy Upgrade Kit: 3x1-XL(WSGF-5S) - $125
Buy a third S27E510CS(or something similar) $299+tax(or less)

...This will complete the 4+1 configuration.

anujcb,

I moved your posts into this thread, as they are better suited here.

Yes, the plan you have regarding the stand will work. The cheapest I've seen the 100-D28-B13 is at Amazon.com. It's also the reason I don't sell it anymore. They sell it for less than what I can purchase it for.

I'm new here and I am considering buying this monitor stand. I have a couple questions for a particular setup I want to use.

I plan on using the 3+1 monitor configuration with 3 x Asus PB278Q 27" monitors in landscape on the bottom row, and have a 32" TV on top (http://www.frys.com/product/8400928?sit ... IN_RSLT_PG).

Is this set up to ambitious and should I get a smaller TV? I am also worried about the weight. The Asus Monitors weigh in roughly 20 lb and the TV is roughly 13 lb.

Thanks.

I think you'll be okay on the weight. From what I've read on the Asus PB278Q, that weight is with the base still attached. Removing the base removes a significant amount of weight from the display. Do you have any of those panels now? Can you weigh one without the base attached?

You may run into an issue with the overall height. I've just gotten in some taller poles that I will be placing in the store shortly. They are 36", compared to the 28" pole that is standard in the kit. I checked the TV, and you'll need one of the VESA adapters that we sell in the store, as the TV uses a VESA pattern of 200x200.

Yes, this will work. I would probably go flat, given the weight and weight distribution of the curved panels (and my experience with the VESA mount on the curved LG).

I've also got 3 of these exact same monitors - what do you think is the maximum size for the 1 above monitor we could mount? I was going to mount a 40" 4K TV above mine coming off the wall, however if I could get something similar (or a little smaller I would suspect) mounted on the actual stand, that would save a lot of hassle.

Thanks for the reply.I know that I can easily get the VESA adapter as an addon item; but if I were to buy the set up you mentioned (3+1 config with the 36" pole) would it be a custom order, something I have to address to you personally before purchasing?

With the included 28" pole, a 27" monitor is the largest. Going to a 36" pole adds 8" of vertical height.

A 27" monitor has a vertical height of about 14.3" (looking at the Dell 27" panel). I checked Amazon for the Samsung UN40HU6950 (just picked it at random). It's height is 21.2". You're adding about 7" of height, which is within the increase.

The Samsung TV is 25.1 pounds. I'm guessing this is with the stand. That is right at the 25 pound limit of the regular adjustable pivot. I would recommend getting the HD adjustable pivot. Those are $50. I can get a few and put them in the store.

So, with the 36" pole, a 40" HDTV seems to be the limit. We sell a VESA adapter, and can get the HD adjustable pivot for you.

These monitors do not have VESA mounting holes in the back. Those are required to use any of our stands. Sorry. Monitors of this size with a VESA mounting 100mm mounting pattern would require the WSGF Ultimate v2.

I have 3 Dell 27" monitors (U2711) mounted in portrait mode. But I can't for the life of me align the edges of the monitors. Essentially the outer monitors hang lower and have a different pitch compared to the middle one. I tried different positions with the pivot but I can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a link to the instructions I provide with the WSGF Edition stands. It has some helpful tips.

http://www.wsgf.org/f/u/100-D16-B03.pdf

If the outer monitors pitching forward, then you need to use the adjustable feature on the pivot to tilt the monitor back. You should be using the adjustable pivots on the outside, where you can use the screw knob to raise them.

A common issue is not having the center monitor squared. You should get a small wood level, and ensure that it is square and true - particularly checking to see that it isn't pitched forward or backward.

Hi skip, I am excited that the out of stock sale is back. I'm going to purchase a monitor stand! However, I am intending to do a 3x2 setup. How do I request parts for that type of setup? What additional parts do I need to purchase? What do you recommend?

I'm doing two rows with 2 on top, 3 on bottom:
[ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]

All will be 24" monitors. One day I'd like to upgrade the whole set to 27" monitors.

To do this with 24'" monitors, you can add this part to the order - http://www.wsgf.org/products/upgrade-kit-2x-bar.

To do it with 27" panels, you would need a standard "triple bar", which can be purchased from Ergotech here - http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/triple-cr ... xed-wings/ It costs $105. You could take the wings off while you had just 2x 24" panels.

Whew, I am glad I checked back. Looks like you guys are running another out of stock sale until end of October, so starting to think about buying again.

Final question skip, I have a standing desk, meaning I mount my monitors quite high compared to the level of the keyboard. I've measured my current monitor setup, and my 1st row of monitors should be mounted around 18" off the desk and the second row should be 16" above that (second row should mount at 34" above the desk). As a result, I am thinking I need either the 36" or 48" pole to accommodate. Do you carry these? Can I request that one be swapped out of the standard poles, or do I need to order a longer pole from Ergotech? Any compatibility issues if I decide to do that?

I understand that you are currently out of stock at the moment, but I am very interested in purchasing the ultimate v2 kit. I just have one major question... Will the kit be able to hold (3) ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q monitors in 3 x 1 landscape orientation? my main concern is whether I would be able to mount the monitors in a semi circle sort of shape? I absolutely would not like to have a completely flat 3 x 1 configuration.

If you could answer this, I would deeply appreciate

I already asked this through the contact form just a little while ago but I figured I might as well ask here too in case it might be more quickly seen or so that other people with the same question might end up seeing the answer. Basically, my question was whether this stand would support 3 16:10 24" monitors (specifically, 1 Dell 2407WPFb and 2 Dell U2412m's) in portrait alongside 1 16:9 27" monitor (an Acer XB270HU) in landscape, all on the same level, as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/FYNNL1r.jpg. It's a weird configuration but I like it's functionality (portraits are great for text and landscape is great for games/movies, and since I don't like bezels in the middle of things as you get with multimonitor gaming this gives me the best of both worlds) and as such I don't really want to get rid of it, and this is the first reasonably priced stand I've found which *might* fit my needs. I know this stand is mainly targeted at 3x1-L (+1 optional on top) and 5x1-P but I figure dropping 2 portrait monitors in favor of one landscape one from the 5x1-P configuration *should* work out size-wise but I want to make sure before dropping $350 on something which doesn't fit my needs.

Interested in running 5x1 portrait. I have a NEC PA272W-BK 27" that is 14 7/8" on the short edge and 19.6lbs without stand. I have (4) Acer K272HUL 27" that are 14 15/16" on the short edge and 10lbs without stand.

Can you verify for me if the WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand v2 will work with these, with the NEC in the center? Is there enough room to have ample degrees of separation between them?

Do I need any extra bars, or just what comes with this kit?

If I ever wanted to add anything above these, is that possible with extra parts, or am I maxed out after these 5?

Given the specs you've posted, the WSGF v2 should work fine for your 5x1-P setup. Monitor sizes have certainly come down over the last few years, and with thin bezels - it looks like 27" panels can now work in 5x1-P. Again, it all goes down to the specific specs of the monitor - and the ones you've posted look good.

You'll be able to get a good curve between them. I haven't had others complain using 24-25" panels with similar physical dimensions. Everything you need will come with the kit.

You could go with a taller pole (36" or 48" to do 1+ the 5x1-P). You'll just need to be careful with the weight and the weight distribution. Only a couple of people have tried what you're doing. Going with the Mega would provide more stability for this type of setup, but I can't say it's a requirement. If you felt it was, we can work an upgrade from the v2 to the Mega.

Hello skip,

I currently have a BenQ XL2720Z and just recently purchased an Acer Predator X34. I would like to run these two monitors in a config that would have the X34 at regular eye level and the BenQ situated above it...like so:

[ ]
[ X34 ]

Will the WSGF Edition Stand work for this application? Would there be any alternatives that would not require the full WSGF Edition Stand?

I appreciate any feedback with this.

The WSGF will work, but would be overkill. No need for you to buy more than you need. The dual vertical will work for you:

http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/dual-moni ... esk-stand/

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NPEC5K

You may want to look into getting one of the "heavy duty" pivots for the X34. My experience is that the regular pivot tends to tilt forward with the weight of the Dell or LG 34" panels.

Thanks for responding.

I looked into the dual vertical you linked to and there were a few concerns:

- Would the 28" pole be high enough to accommodate the config? Both monitors have a physical height of 15" and it would seem the upper pivot would need to be at the very top, so I'm worried about the overall stability of the stand.

- The stated weight capacity of the dual vertical doesn't seem to be an issue but the stated monitor size is 24" according to ergotech. Have you had any experience with monitors larger than 24" on this stand?

I am considering purchasing 3 x Acer XB271HU and a Freedom WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand v2 to go with it. Would be mounting them in landscape mode.

1) The XB271HU has a width of 24.2". How much can I angle the two side monitors in? I saw the video of Peanut reviewing 3 x XB270HU (25.2" width) and it seems that there is quite a bit of space to mount the side monitors towards the ends of the stand so I am able to angle it more towards me (hopefully this sentence is understandable). I am wondering if Peanut is using the Freedom WSGF Edition Ultimate Desk Stand v2. The said video is located here: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=30111

2) I don't see an option to ship to Singapore.

Hoping someone can answer my queries. Thanks!

The 28" pole is what comes with the WSGF Edition stand. It works for 2x 27" panels high. The 34" 21:9 panel is the same height as the 27" 16:9. The pivot is at the top of the pole, and the monitor extends above it. This isn't an issue with the WSGF, but I'm not certain about the "non-HD" base. Your the second person recently to ask about this configuration. Maybe I need to put together an "HD Dual" Stand.

You can get 30 degrees or more. I haven't had 27" panels to test with. My 1440p panels are 25" thin bezels. I've not had any complaints from folks about the angle. It is far from flat.

Singapore is set up in the store. Just choose the JP/HK shipping rate. I need to make that clearer.

This would be too much. You would need the Mega. The longer outer wings and the dual bases would give you the stability you need.

Thank you skip.

May I ask what panels you are using, and the maximum angles you are getting with them? I would like to make some calculations as I may require an angle of close to 40 degrees due to space constraints.

I'm trying to figure out how best to set out my monitors. I recently bought a Acer Predator 34" XR341CKA to compliment a pair of 24" Dell Ultrasharp U2410's. I didn't quite realise how wide a space all three occupy so I'm mulling over arms / stands as a better way of laying things out. Here are my three options:

1 is what I've been using the last few weeks. It works, it's nothing special though and kinda relegates the 24"s to glorified Spotify duty.

2 is what I'd traditionally go with but I can't fit it on my desk currently with individual stands...

3 is what I'm considering; get the pair of ultrasharps on a fixed dual bracket and have them tilted down over the Predator, possibly mounting that on a fixed bracket as well since the stand pushes it away from the back of the desk quite a lot.

So my first question is whether anyone has tried option #3 and how they found it. My next is whether the WSGF Edition Ultimate Stand v2 would fit all three monitors in config #2 (Predator is horizontal 32.5", the ultrasharps are 22") or whether I would need a different model?

Thanks for any help!

The Destroyer has a "2 over 3" setup, which would be similar to what you have in #3. His setup had 3x 16:9 on the bottom row. He's running that now.

The WSGF v2 will fit set #1 and #2 out of the box. I did both of those with my LG 34" ultrawide and 2x Dell U2515H. You can see pics here - http://www.wsgf.org/article/review-lg-3 ... lay-page-2

You can do #3 with the WSGF v2, plus this upgrade kit. I've only got one left in stock, and not sure I'm going to restock once it's sold. I thought it would be a popular configuration, but that hasn't turned out to be the case. - http://www.wsgf.org/products/upgrade-kit-2x-bar

Sorry for not responding sooner. Didn't see the question in your post. I have 3x Dell U2515H, and I currently have 30 degrees on them, with more than six inches left on the bar to push them out further. I did a quick test, and I've got enough room to get a full 90 degree right angle between them, with room still to spare on the bar.

WSGF v2 looks perfect, and the upgrade kit opens the possibility of adding another cheeky pair of 24"s but I'm the UK and shipping would almost double the price :/ Any idea whether the Ergotech Triple Monitor Stand w/Telescoping wings would also fit a 3x1 setup?

Alternatively, do you ship to US PO boxes or have any UK / EU distribution points to cut the cost on shipping?

I just got my stand in Yesterday and got it all setup. I'm using 3 ASUS VG278HE 27" and a Dell U2410 24inch in 3x1. I have a slight problem though. The Left monitor is nice and flush with the center however the right monitor is 1/2 inch lower than the center. I have adjusted the knob adjustment to the highest setting and its still 1/2 inch to low. There is noticeable drop on the support arm on the right side that the left does not have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Kaash,

Sorry for this issue. Every so often a bar comes out that isn't perfect. It may be that the hinges/joints are not all properly tightened (rare), or that the pole clamp wasn't set perfectly flat, or that possible the holes drilled for the hinges were not done perfectly (most likely).

You can first try to take the monitors off and make sure all the bolts on the hinges are tightened. Another option would be for me to send you an adjustable pivot to use in the bottom middle. This should allow you to even everything out. Last option is for me to replace the bar for you.

In my shipment confirmation, I had provided my email so that you could contact me directly if there were issues. That's the easiest and quickest way to communicate. I will send you and email, and we can chat there.

Thanks,

was just going to do 1+3 with the stand and set the extra 2720z off to the side but this config looks really interesting :rockout:

This bar will only handle 2x 24". The bar was also a very slow seller, so I've pulled it out of the store.

You could potentially use a 5-segment bar upgrade kit and just use the middle three segments.

I'd have to measure to see if that would work.

You can stick it on the back of the collar on the base, and stick in the allen wrench (hex key) used for the set screw.

Hi,may i ask you a "stupid" thing? If i order the stand from Europe (precisely Italy) i need to check EU shipping or do you suggest me another method? Just wanted to know if the shipping it's different in term of taxes (i wanted to choose EU anyway but i prefer to ask you this stupid question

). I have 3 asus pg278q as monitors,and i may add one more in a 1 over 3 config.

You would pick the EU shipping. The shipping fees only cover the actual shipping and handling fees I incur. You are still responsible for any extra import duties, fees or taxes.

Would the WSGF Ultimate V2 work for the following config in a 3 over 1 setup:

1x Dell 27" Gsync in middle of bottom row
2x Asus VH238H in portrait on the sides of the Dell
1x Dell U3415W above the the other three

The two Asus don't HAVE to be in portrait, but it would be my preferred setup. But will this work with the stand? I'm really only unsure of the Dell 34 UW on the top.

I just received this stand and am setting in up with 3 ASUS 24" VG248QE monitors (I don't have the monitor I'm attaching up top yet). I am experiencing the arm sag on the outer monitors that others on this board have posted about. The height adjustment screws are sufficient in making up the difference and make the outer monitors vertically flush with the center monitor. The problem I have is that I can't rotate the left monitor to be flush with the center monitor. It needs to rotate more clockwise, but the pivots have stoppers that prevent any more rotation in that direction. Should I remove the stoppers or file down the groove? Would that cause an issue?

Don't remove the stopper of the mounts. Install the mount upside down (with the height adjustment screw pointing towards the floor) and rotate it the right way round.

I experienced arm sag as well, but I solved it by tightening the nuts on the arm further. They are hard to tighten further but it's possible.

I'm actually ok with the space. The two sides are merely for monitoring Twitch chat, notifiers etc while i'm streaming. The two Dell's are the main monitors in the setup.

Thanks for the help here. You are correct on the pivot. If it's not rotating far enough, then you'll need to remove the monitor and rotate it 90 or 180 degrees, and then you'll have plenty of room to rotate.

Sorry about the issue with the monitor arm not being tight. Looks like I may need to do some individual inspections on this lot.

G'Day from Australia,

I'm just curious about the stands that you have on offer here.

i currently run 3 X Asus PB278Q as the picture below, but i wish to get a stand to make it a bit more stable.

My current play to mount the 3 27inc but i also wanted to mount a another 27 or 30 or even a longshot of a Sony 42" above it for my ps4.

So my question is since im new to this, what would be the best way to go about it or what parts would be best to get?

Thanks for you time.

Regards

David

For those three monitors you'd need a WSGF Ultimate v2. The Ultimate v2 would also support "1+3" with another 27" over those three. To put a 30" or 42" above the three, you'd need to add the XL Pole (which we also offer in the store). Just be sure the TV you put up there has a 100mm VESA pattern. Some might have a larger pattern.

I have a couple. I could do a custom invoice through PayPal. I may update the WSGF Stand to include them in the future. However, I need to make sure enough people need that upgrade before I change the SKU as a whole.

Yea, I'm mounting a x34 in the middle, and seeing your comments, thought it would be best to include 1 heavy duty just in case.

Though are you able to provide any further suggestions for me? I'm planning on a 24" x x34 x 24" + 28" setup. Do I need the 36" pole or is 28" enough? Any suggestions to improve on my setup are welcome.

Hello I purchased your mount last month, and am so happy with it!

Today I noticed one of my monitors is tilting down and when I position back it just tilts back down by itself. I Would assume just tightening the bolt should fix it. Would you happen to know the exact size tool I would need to get from the store?

On another note, why is the XL pole price stated as $30 however the below price is stated as $40?

Snipeon, I don't mind you asking again. Helps keep my on my toes.

I've just got it added now. The price of the XL Pole is $40. I've corrected the entry on the product page table. And yes, international shipping fees have increased by $25. I recently got "burned" on a few shipments to Australia and Canada, where the fees were higher than what they historically have been.

After doing a check of other countries, I find that USPS has increased its fees by about $25 (even though oil prices are down). Not sure why their fees have increased, but our increase is simply to match their price movements. International shipping costs are still considerably lower than when we started, as we do track the trends.

Hello, I'm new to these forums so I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I currently have 1 ASUS PG249Q (27"), 2x ASUS VG248QEs (24"), and I plan on buying an Ultrawide (possibly 29") sometime in the future. I have two issues that I need advice on.

Issue 1: I plan on eventually mounting all 4 monitors (3 bottom, 1 top) but it seems like Amazon only sells the Ergotech Quad Stand with non-telescoping arms. I need the one with telescoping arms in order to mount one 27" and two 24" on the bottom successfully right? They do sell a Triple Stand with telescoping arms, but that leads me to issue 2.

Issue 2: If I do buy the stand with telescoping arms, what extension would I need in order to hold a 29" Ultrawide monitor up top? I'm honestly not sure exactly which one I'll purchase yet, so let's assume http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-29UM58-P-ultrawide-monitor would be it for now. I'm afraid the weight would cause the monitor to come crashing down, damaging it and my expensive PG249Q below it.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

EDIT: Do you guys think this stand would suit my needs? http://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-Deluxe-Monitor-Standing-002-0030/dp/B00J3AVYQW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_229_7?ie=UTF8&dpID=31Qdh0to1kL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1DM9KAS07Z040BNWJQPW

We're not fans of the telescoping arms, as they aren't as study as the solid bar. If you got an Ergotech Triple w/ Wings, you'd need the 1+3 upgrade kit we sell in our store to add the 4th monitor.

We sell the WSGF Edition stand from Ergotech - http://www.wsgf.org/products/wsgf-ultim ... k-stand-v2

Never heard of Pyramid, nor tried their stands. From my experience in the industry, that base don't look too stable.

Thank you so much for your quick reply, Skip. I actually just watched the review on Jayz YT channel for your Ultimate Desk Stand and I am sold. However, I was wondering if his one minor complaint has been addressed or not? The small issue where the top monitor can't extend out to line up with the bottom monitors? I'll probably eventually purchase regardless, but I was just wondering if there have been any changes to your edition of the stand since his review.

At this point we haven't been able to work out a solution. I'm working with Ergotech to see what we can do for a future order. You could get the HD pivot we sell and put it in the +1 position. It is "deeper" than the standard fixed pivot in the below position. Not a cheap fix, but one option. Another would be to get some longer screws and use bushings or washers to help push out the +1 monitor.

I'm in the process of upgrading my system, and just purchased an LG 34U88 to use as my main monitor. I have a vanilla Ergotech 3x1 mount for my existing 3xDell U2410 monitors.
I plan on eventually trying to do a P-[L/L]-P configuration, something like this:

Code:

┌───┬───────┬───┐
│   │   L   │   │
│ P ├───────┤ P │
│   │   L   │   │
└───┴───────┴───┘

I be using one of the Dells on the top for now, and eventually replacing that with another 34" in the future.
Let me know if you think this will work:
-34" (low) mounted on "mini bar" + HD pivot
-24" Dell in portrait on each end of 5-segment bar + adjustable pivot (might replace with something larger later to better match the height of the 2x34").
-34" (high) mounted on "mini bar" +HD pivot (would use one of the 24" Dells for now)

The 5-segment bar would be between the two mini bars, allowing to better centre the portrait screens, with no monitor in the middle position, just the two on the ends. I don't *think* just loading the ends would cause a problem, but that's why I'm asking. Also, how tall a pole do you think I'll need for the setup? 28" might be a little short.

To complete the setup (if it looks like it's viable), I'd need:
1x 5-segment bar
2x HD Pivot
2x Mini Bar
1x Tall Pole (36"?)

Thoughts? And thanks in advance.

That looks like it would work. Not having done anything like this, I can't guarantee - but it all looks right. I have all the parts in stock, and all the parts except for the Mini Bar are in the online store. I can get you a price for two of those if you like.

Hey Skip,

I'm currently using a ErgoTechGroup Dual Monitor Vertical Stand (100-D28-B11) to hold up two 28" Asus 1080p displays and to the right of it I have a 34" LG 21:9. Picture Provided of my current setup.

I am looking at getting a Asus PG279Q as my primary gaming panel and I want to set up a 3+1 where the 27" is in the middle, the two 28" ones are flanking it, and the 34" LG is up top angled down.

I thought about adding wings to my current stand, but I feel the Ultimate Desk Stand V2 has a better base and the arms look beefier. I'm just concerned that the two 28" panels on the outside might not fit with the 27" in the middle. Looking at Asus's website the PG279Q is 24.4" wide and the two 28" panels are actually 26" wide, what are your thoughts? Will the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand support this 3+1 config?

Thanks!

You should be good. The WSGF v2 is designed to hold 3x 25.5" wide monitors. Sum total, your monitors fit right within that.

I noticed you are low on stock right now, and I'm going to order this 27" gaming monitor after my trip to England in May so by the time I order the monitor you should be back in stock.

totally looking forward to it!

I recently purchased a MSI GT80S Titan and want to add 3 monitors around it. I was looking at 1x3 Quad Desk Stand but am not sure how that will look so someone suggested that I come here and ask.
I've been leaning towards a 4 monitor pyramid setup but since the laptop only sits 14" high, I'm afraid that the 2 side monitors will be too high and distance between the laptop and top monitor will leave a large gap so I'm looking for suggestions on what you would do in this situation.

I'm accustomed to a dual monitor setup with both being at the same height so I'm not sure if I would like a reverse pyramid setup with the laptop being below and the 3 monitors above. If someone has pictures of a setup that includes a laptop, I would love to see pictures.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin the CabinetGuy

Do you use an external Keyboard and Mouse for the Laptop? Does the Laptop open 180° or at least 150°
If you can Plug all the cables and then hide the Laptop in a custom built Holding Cage so the screen Shows atop the middle Monitor, wouldn't that be neat?

Sorry, I don't have any pics with a laptop. You can see my older "3 over 1" setup here. It was 22" on top, and 29 ultrawide on the bottom.

Hopefully someone might have an answer to this as I've been unable to find anything more definitive in this thread.

Planning on mounting 3 Dell U2713HM monitors. I know they will fit because I recall seeing that the stands will support monitors up to 25.5" in width, the Dells come in at 25.3. Not a lot of wiggle room, maybe enough.

My question is this: Due to how my desk is set up, I need to be able to angle the wings in to fit properly and so I can actually see all three monitors. Will there be enough room left over to allow this?

Pic included to show the angles I need.

Hello OldQuack,

I'm currently running ASUS (3) PG279Q with (1) PG278Q above 3+1 configuration. These PG279Q monitors are 27", however the physical width of these are just under 24 1/2". I can tell you that I can have some pretty sharp angles to turn in the outside monitors. But in order to really give you an answer - I would need to know the angle you need.

I would suggest taking a picture with a protractor showing the angle from the center monitor.

Hi OldQuack, I have three Acer XB271HU, with the side monitors mounted at 43 degrees with respect to the middle one. It seems like I can go all the way to 90 degrees if I want to. It's not that clear (in the second image) but the 5-segment bar ends at around the top edge of the G27 rim.

Would I be able to use this stand with a center 21:9 Monitor and two 27-Inch ASUS VX279Q monitors, if not I will have to get another 27 inch which is ok but the 21:9 be really cool to have. Thanks for the input

Hello steven12153 :welcome

,

21:9 is an aspect ratio. There are a few different size monitors that support this aspect ratio. What model where thinking of using? I would also keep in mind that if you wanted to use nVidia surround - it's suggested to have 3 of the same resolution monitors. I'm not familiar with ATi Eyefinity, but it may also require or prefer a similar setup.

I see this stand ""only"" supports 24-25" monitors on either side of a 34" ultrawide.

I have a 34" ultrawide flanked by 2x 27" panels, are there any sort of mods I can do to this stand to accommodate my setup? Or will I just have to wait for a version 3?

Thanks!

Hi I was wondering if the stands allow for adjustment "on the fly". I'm a software developer so during the day I'd like to run 1 or 2 of the monitors in portrait mode and then be able to easily rotate them back to landscape for gaming.

Yes. You can rotate the pivots while the monitor is still attached.

Lost track of things there for awhile as a stand solution for my monitors got kicked to a back burner.

Bonez - Once upon a time I had a protractor somewhere in this house. I have pencil compass but not a protactor. Go figure. But seeing multiple reviews and the pics shown by c1em and others. Im pretty confident it would work. Even if I have to open the angles a bit, I can still make it work.

With that said, I have one on the way. Just ordered it, so I'm looking forward to it's arrival and getting it set up.

To be honest, I was considering the 100-D16-BO3-TW on Amazon. Yes, I could have had that one for (much) less, but I was worried about the stock extensions that come with that stand. And who could pass up those cable management clips. (And is it possible to get extras if needed?)

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I've had my eye on that monitor stand ever since I came across these forums while doing some research of wide screen stuff.

Use case question. I currently use 3 BenQ xl2420z 24 inch 16:9 monitors for my bottom 3, and a dell Dell U2415 24.1 inch 16:10 monitor mounted to an ergotech freedom arm wall mount as my auxiliary. My lower 3 are always in landscape, but I need to be able to convert the upper from landscape to portrait. Does this mount support 3l+1p (and have a 90 degree pivot up top) OR can I use the upper pole to place the ergotech freedom arm (since I know the WSGF stand is ergotech, its possible that the parts might be intercompatible). If not, can someone direct me to a solution to recreate this setup WITHOUT A WALL MOUNT (I note that the freedom arm on non wall mount does not reach high enough for my uses), as I'm off to uni, and have a feeling the school doesn't want me drilling into the dorm wall...

I have had someone try this. I didn't hear back that they had any issues. I did pre-test the wall mount arm, and it does fit over the WSGF Stand pole (see picture). You'll need to use the retaining ring under the arm mount to set its height.

So, after trying this for several days, I have some comments to help anyone else with the same question.

The pole designed for the Ergotech Freedom Arm is slightly slimmer than the pole found on the WSGF ultimate. Therefore the plastic retaining sleeve that comes with the Freedom arm is both unneeded and impossible to install without making the pole too thick to fit the stand on. While this sleeve COULD be used to set the height of the arm as you suggested, I would not advise doing so.

What I did instead was take the part designed to mount the upper track for monitor four, and install it upside down on the pole, and simply slid the freedom arm on top. At the maximum height, with fairly heavy monitors below, and a monitor just about of the minimum weight a freedom arm will support, the stand WILL fall over at the freedom arms maximum extension. After it gets moved about an inch down the pole, the stand merely becomes unstable at maximum freedom arm height and extension directly in front. Maximum extension to either side is not a problem.

People attempting this setup should take care not to put the arm at its maximum extension without adding additional weight at the bottom, though looking at the balance, simply C-clamping the back of the desk stand to the desk is a non destructive method of securing it, something I intend to do once I move this setup to its more permanent location on Tuesday.

Despite the lack of a retaining sleeve, the freedom arm does NOT tend to sit at a downwards angle dependent on monitor location like it does when mounted to the normal pole/ wall mount without the sleeve, thanks to the additional thickness of the pole. I will check this thread from time to time, if you want to direct anyone with questions my way.

Hey everyone!
Heard alot about the WSGF and figured you guys were the best to come to for my questions. so heres the dilemma. I got 3 Curved 27" Screens (http://www.samsclub.com/sams/samsung-27 ... 0171646.ip). I want to vesa mount them but i have no idea what will work! any advice is GREATLY appreciated. im very new when it comes to doing something like this and have no idea what to go for. I was looking at the Ergotech 100-D16-B03-TW but from reviews im seeing it BARELY fits 27" monitors and with mine being curved i would assume i would have to bend them in more to give it that surround feel or edge to edge feel it would need. I would assume if there is a 32" monitor stand that would work i just cant find one. ANY advice is helpful as again im a big new when it comes to triple monitor builds. Just in case you need to know my build info, I included it below. I appreciate ANY and ALL help thanks!

Intel Core i7 6700K
Asus z170-A Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws (32GB) Ram
Samsung 850 Evo SSD (500GB)

Hello Donbuster,

I would be really interested in viewing several pictures please. I too have also thought about putting a series 200 or Freedom Arm. I'm hoping the series 200 doesn't have the same diameter problem of being a different size. My plans are to use a part highlighted in the image (series 200 part) for my top monitor mount. Then I could move the monitor forward and not have the gap between the center monitor and the top monitor tilted downwards. These come in silver and black. So black would be a bonus.

UPDATE: Looks like I solved the monitor gap and don't need this expensive monitor arm after all. http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=26462&start=20 :twothumb:

Hello Neurodrive :welcome

I have the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 and I'm also using (4) 27" monitors. However mine are not curved. But in looking at your link and the physical specs, our monitors seem to be the same width. So If I had (3) of these curved monitors, the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 is what I would purchase. I wouldn't suggest the Ergotech 100-D16-B03-TW as the telescopic wings don't allow multiple angles with 27" compared to the WSGF. I also don't care for the telescopic wings personally. The WSGF also comes with plenty of cable clips. My only concern was my monitors are VESA 100 mount and yours show to be VESA 75. However, in looking at the specs they support 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm VESA compliant.

Been looking at this thing for a little while and just wondering, with 3x 27" what angles can the side ones come into?

I'm a little tight on room and figure I'll need them around 30 - 45°.

With the Thru Desk Mount could a pine desk handle it with 3 27" or could that eventually cause the desk to crack / fail?

Thanks :onethumb:

I currently have a 3+1 setup (3xVN279QL Monitors and 1 cheap wall mounted monitor). I really like the Ergotech stands, but given the fact that I have 27" monitors the base stand will not work. I would be forced to get the telescoping wings and I do not like the stability of the wings. I found your stand and I really like the upgraded arm, but I am really stuck on the price for what I need the stand for.

I will always be in a 3x1 setup with a +1 wall mounted. I plan on upgrading my +1 to a 30-40" TV later this year. Do you offer a smaller package with the following items?

Short pole (16")
Heavy Duty Base
Five Segment Bar
3 Pivots (1 standard, 2 Adjustable)

few cable clips
Neoprene Base Pad

We no longer offer a stand that "just" does 3x1-Landscape. When we did, it was only $25 cheaper than the current Ultimate v2. A couple of years ago we consolidated the two different SKUs we had: Triple XL (only 3x1) and the Ultimate v1 into the single (current) v2 SKU.

That makes me sad,

I can't justify $400+ for a stand that I won't use it's most important features. Or purchasing the base stand from ergotech and then the upgrade bar I am still at $374 and I have an extra arm that I would never use.

Sorry about that. With the previous stand, you would have been at $350 + S/H. I can't break apart the stands as I have them now, as them I'm left with extra pieces that I don't have any need for. Sorry again.

Got my stand last week, finally got around to pulling it out and mocking everything up... this is one big mother especially with 3x 27" screens.

Cant wait to have this thing fully setup in the coming months :rockout:

.

I did notice one small problem, the locking pin for the monitor bracket head thing isn't going all the way in on the left arm, something seems to be off by a fraction of a millimetre, will check this properly when I set it up for good.

I did notice one small problem, the locking pin for the monitor bracket head thing isn't going all the way in on the left arm, something seems to be off by a fraction of a millimetre, will check this properly when I set it up for good.

We see this every so often. It's probably a burr on the pin itself. You should be able to use the 4th pivot in that position. We can get the faulty pivot swapped out by Ergotech.

Hi All,

I'm currently in possession of 4x Dell U2414H and want to have a setup with a 3+1 stand. I currently live in Europe and due to the limited availability and high shipping costs of the WSGF stand I'll have to go with the next best thing; the Ergotech quad 3+1 stand (100-D28-B13) via Ebay.

I was wondering is anyone has experience with this stand, and specifically with the height of the pole being 28". I like my monitors being 4" or 5" up from my desk, but i dont know if this is possible with the 28" pole. In the US, Ergotech offers larger poles as a seperate buy, but I can't find any of these in Europe.

Hey everyone,

Hoping to get some clarification on a monitor setup I'm planning to do with the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 before purchasing.

I have 2x 34" ultrawides and 2x regular 24" widescreen monitors (all Dell if that matters). I wanted to stack the two ultrawide monitors on top of one another in the center, and have the two 24" monitors on either side of the bottom monitor.

I read the description and know the first row is possible with my monitors, but do I need additional hardware in order to fit the top ultrawide? I read I also need the HD adjustable pivot to use with the ultrawides, and I assume I'd need two for this setup. Also, these pivots will mount to the poles and not the wall correct? The description said it needs to be mounted to a wall stud so I was a little confused.

Finally, I'm a little concerned about putting this many monitors on one stand, so wanted to hear if anyone else has done a similar setup without any issues.

Thanks for any help, glad to join this community!

Sorry that it took me just over 24 hours to respond...

The WSGF Ultimate v2 will work for your setup. I've done a 34" flanked by 25" panels, with another 25" above. Others have done triple 27" with a 27" above. A 34" ultrawide is the same height as a 27" 16:9, so a 34" ultrawide will also work in the +1 position.

You will need 2x of the HD pivots. I corrected the issue with the HD Pivot page referencing wall mounting. I had used an old page template when I created the HD Pivot page in the Store.

The weight won't be an issue. The base used with the Ultimate is the same one that Ergotech uses for their Hex stand, which supports 6x 24" panels. This same stand is used for 5x1-Portrait configs, and I've had some folks do Hex and other odd configurations. You shouldn't see any issues.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you know if there are any tilt kits for a 34" like the one mentioned in this thread for the 27"? I tried searching around for one but it seems like most of the tilt kits for the larger monitors/TV's are for wall mounts only.

I am dying to purchase on the special edition WSGF Ergotech stands (5 segment bar one), however, the cost of shipping + customs, etc will put them out of my price range.

I was wondering if there's a way to purchase them from a UK/EU store?

Thanks

Unfortunately there is not. The WSGF is the sole global seller for our stands. I don't have any agreements with any local resellers to stock the stand.

Hey internet,

I am about to purchase from WSGF and just wanted to ask about the right stand for my monitors.

I have 3, 27" Asus PG279Q's and 1, 34" Asus PG348Q

Which stand setup would let me be able to set this up with 3, 27' down the bottom in landscape and the 34' up top also in landscape?

If you could post back with a 'dot point' list of everything I would need that would be perfect :-)

Thanks in advanced, appreciate the help and feed back

I did this:

https://goo.gl/photos/wuSjyzb1mUddjaQA9

This is a Dell monitor stand which you may or may not be able to find anymore. It slides nearly perfectly in to the top of the triple monitor stand if you remove the plastic top plug.

Then you can drill a single hole through the side of both tubes and screw in a metal screw.

I also removed the flat stand from the bottom (4 screws) and drilled 4 holes in the desk. Placed a metal plate under the desk and put screws up through the desk in to the stand so there is no base. Much sturdier this way as it would be pretty top heavy otherwise.

YMMV

@Cinnabuns;

Thank you for replying, you've helped a lot, screwing into the bottom of the desk and attaching a metal plate via 4 screws is something I was planning on doing for sure.
As for the dell monitor stand I'm still currently looking though I think this will end to no avail, if anyone else has any idea on what I could purchase to achieve my dream stand setup just hit that 'reply to post' button.

Again I'll note that I will need you to specifically for point it and link me to the items.

I really thought I could do this with the WSGF V2 stand :/

Finally got my stand installed yesterday, loving it well worth the money.

I did notice though the left monitor doesn't seem to be straight, it's angled down to the the left more, I did try to get the arm as straight as I could but when I tightened the clamp it was raising it slightly to the right. From the outter edge the left monitor is 2cm lower than the right, could it be because the arm is slightly higher on the right side and with the monitor weight it's amplified it?

Fixed my problem. Noticed the plate for the tube clamp was off by a couple of mm which was throwing the whole arm off, fixed that than after some tweaking I got it setup good enough.

It is hard getting it perfect because of the middle monitor being different but I think I got it as good as it gets till I replace them.

Sorry I didn't see your post this weekend. Glad you got it sorted. We've seen this issue a few times now with the current batch of stands. I ended up creating a document to show how the arm can be tweaked and adjusted.

Hello!

I am getting ready to purchase new monitors and I am looking for a desk stand that will fit what I want to do. Lucky enough I watched JayzTwoCents video on the UDS v2 and it seems like it will do what I want.

First, Can I fit two 38" LG ultrawide's on the top and bottom in a 3+1 setting?
Second, how comfortable is it to look up at the +1 or top monitor 8+ hours a day? I started a new job, working from home, with a company supplied iMac and I would like to add a "work" monitor to the top of the stand but have concerns about fatigue after a few hours.

Thank you for your responses in advance! I hope this stand is the one for me!

Thanks for the inquiry. I've not tried the 38" panels yet. LG lists them as 15.5" tall. This is just within the 16" heigh limit. Depending on how high you want to set the monitors, you may want to pick up the 48" pole from Ergotech. They used to offer a 36", but I only see the 48" in the store. You could call to see if they still offer the 36". http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/48-pole-black/

I found that my neck hurt when looking up at my triples (I run "3 over 1"), when using a "regular" office chair. I switched out to a DX Racer chair that offers head and neck support, and it's been MUCH better.

Hello, Skip!

Thank you for your very quick response. I made an error, it should have been two 34" inch LG ultrawide. After reading your response, it should be okay unless you have had issues with that setup before. I already have a DXracer so that is taken care of. Again, I appreciate your response.

Two 34" is fine. We've had plenty of people do those. You'll need an HD pivot for each 34" panel. I'm out of stock on those at the moment, but have more on the way from Ergotech.

I was looking at getting the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 and the HD pivot for a ultra wide on top and I was just wondering if I decided to move the ultra wide to the middle of the lower row could 2x27'' be used in portrait mode on either side of it, not for gaming just as extra screen space?

Thanks

I've not tried that specifically, but it should work. I did do a 34" with 25" flanking in portrait. There was plenty of room left on the bar for 27" panels. You can see the pic at the bottom of this page:

Ok, thanks. If I plan getting an ultra wide for either the middle or the +1 in a 3+1 config I will an HD pivot for the position I place it in correct? Also, are screws included, if not what screw should one be using?

Hey there,
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on this Ultimate Desk Stand v2, but I have a problem. I intend to use it in the beginning (until I upgrade my monitors) with 3 x 27" 16:9 monitors... the issue is that they are VESA MIS-E! So that's 200x100 6 hole mounting pattern. Is there a conversion plate or something that I could add to allow use with this stand? Eventually I'll end up with newer, standard pattern monitors, but for now... I'm wondering if anyone else has used this bolt pattern with this stand setup?

Thanks.

According to the product page The stand will fit most monitors up to 27" (16:9). It will also fit a 34" 21:9 ultra-wide, flanked by a pair of 24" or 25" panels. My question is do the 24 and 25 inch panels go 90° so that they're like vertical? Because I'm trying to figure out how they look the same size even though that they're two different sizes and monitors. Does anyone have a picture of a 34 inch ultra wide with dual 24 inch monitors?

Thanks in Advance, AliceSML79

Wouldn't the ultra would be taller than the 24 inches though? I think that would drive me crazy if they were all running 1440 P and one was bigger than the others.

The 25" panels are a bit shorter than a 34" ultrawide. You can see them in landscape configuration on this page. Check about half way down.

Hi

I'm looking to purchase a monitor stand but not entirely sure on which one is suitable. The configuration I'm looking at is a 34" Ultrawide on the bottom with a 27" above. So a 1 + 1 configuration?

I was looking at the store options and was wondering do I just go with the following:
- WSGF Mini Mega v2 Upgrade
- HD Adjustable Pivot

Or do I have to buy the whole kit:
- WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2

Any light on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, everything we have is overkill. The Mini Mega 2 upgrade is closest, but still more expensive due to the parts included (some of them custom).

What you really need is either one of the dual stands listed here, or the Quad stand (if you want the HD base). And then add the HD pivot. I tried going piece-part for you in their online accessory store for a dual setup with the HD base - but that would be more than just getting the Quad and dealing with the extra pieces.

http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/100-series-stands/

They don't offer the HD pivot in their online store. You might be able to call and get it, or you can buy one from me. I'd love to take your money, but it wouldn't be fair to you.

Don't mean to Hi-jack the thread, but I didn't want to create another thread to ask such a similar question..

I'm looking to arrange vertically like OP, a 34" (Dell u3417w and 27" (Asus rog p279q), but I'm looking to keep the 27" on the bottom. And additionally, I'd like to be able to freely move the 27" closer (for gaming). The 34" on top, I would like to angle downwards if possible.. The gap wont bother me, I don't think, but yea, any suggestions? Thanks!!

To have that in-out movement, you'd want something like the 200 series vertical mount arms. You'd need an HD pivot to account for the weight distribution of the 34" panel. This would be my best guess. Or maybe one a couple of monitor arms.

They have a lot of monitor arms to choose from. I have a 7Flex HD coming in. You could do the 7Flex single for the 27", and then the 7FlexHD for the 34". They offer a 6" riser to get the monitor higher as well. You could also wall mount them.

Post subject: Need Help Deciding Which Stand to Purchase

Posted: 20 Jun 2017, 20:57

Hi, I'm looking to mount three 27 inch monitors using a free standing desk stand, and Ergotech seems to be one of the only companies who makes such a stand, and so I have decided to buy one.

My question is besides the ability to mount a 4th monitor above the others is there any other differences between the Ergotech Triple Desk Stand with Telescopic Wings (100-D16-B03-TW), and the WSGF Ultimate v2 (100-D28-B15-V2). (The ability to have a fourth monitor mounted above the others is not something I would ever use). The WSGF stand is quite a bit more expensive, so is there some other reason to get it over the base Ergotech stand? I have the budget for either stand so if there are other tangible benefits to the WSGF one I don't mind spending the extra money to get it. Obviously though if the ability to mount a fourth monitor is the only big difference I would rather put the savings towards some other aspect of my setup.

Just for reference the three monitors I will be mounting will be two Dell U2715H's (which have very thin side bezels), and one Asus Rog Swift PG27UQ (once it's released and I can get my hands on one).

Any advice on which one I should buy would be appreciated, thanks.

The Ergotech Triple w/ Wings was originally spec'ed at supporting 26" panels. As displays got lighter and the bezels go smaller, they retroactively updated the specs to support 27". The WSGF Stand was designed from the group up to support 27" panels. The Telescoping Wings are not "solid" and use an adjustable mechanism on a metal plate. The 5-segment bar used in the WSGF Ultimate is complete solid construction, and it offers a sturdier experience.

You can see a comparison of the two bars in the image on the page linked below. You can see how the WSGF 5-segment bar is significantly larger. Additionally, in his review of the Triple w/ Wings, Linus from Linus Tech Tips points out how 27" panels *BARELY* fit on the bar. You're not able to get much of an angle between the monitors. The WSGF Ultimate allows for a 45 degree angle between monitors, so you can set them how you like. You can see an example of how the better support of 27" panels in the stand with the JayzTwoCents review, which is also on this page.

I have actually thought of two more questions if you don't mind. I currently only have two monitors as I wait for Asus Rog Swift PG27UQ to be released which will be my 3rd. I would like to get my two current monitors mounted to clear up some desk space, so my first question is can parts of the 5 segment bar be removed? I don't want the left side of the bar just sticking out with no monitor mounted to it, so if I could remove the left side of the bar, and have a clean look with just two monitors until my 3rd arrives at which point I would reattach the left side I would purchase the stand now. If not I still plan to purchase the stand, just after I get my 3rd monitor.

My 2nd question is do you offer any sort of discount for someone who doesn't need the bar that allows for the 3 + 1 configuration? I will only ever use the stand in the 3 X 1 configuration, so that bar would remain unused for me.

You can remove the outer segments, but you'll need to be careful when reattaching to avoid cross-threading the holes. The bolts are steel and the bar is aluminum (which is softer). I do it routinely when I make the bar for the Mega, but just be aware to take care when reassembling. You can also try folding back those segments to start with.

We don't offer a stripped down version anymore. We used to offer two versions of the stand. One with just the tall pole for 3+1 and one with just the short pole for 3x1. Those were priced $399 and $349 respectively. When we consolidated to one SKU to serve both options, we were able to get some economies of scale and price at $374. You're only paying $25 more than the old 3x1 stand. And I've had more than one person who said they would "never" got 3+1, end up doing it at some point. It would cost you almost $100 to purchase the additional parts from Ergotech in the future.

Thanks again for the responses, I think I now have all the information I need to go ahead and buy the stand in the next few days.

Just wondering if my order went out 1383. Thanks

It shipped out today. I've just sent out the order updates, with tracking numbers.

Im looking at a 27" monitor that has really tiny bezels and doing a 5x1P configuration. I noticed that under the stand page it says that under that configuration the maximum is 15" wide. These monitors are 15.5". Whats the tolerance on that 15" spec? Do you think 15.5 will work by having the screens a little bit flatter?

In addition to the stand I just bought from you I have a standard ergotech stand with telescoping wings. Would it work to replace the outer segments of your stand with the telescoping segments of the stock ergotech stand? It should more than make up for those extra 2.5" above spec.

The monitor in question is this one: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ace ... ,4936.html

That config will be too heavy for the WSGF Ultimate, and the weight distribution will give problems. Along with being too wide. I've just re-added the Mega and the Mini Mega to the store. I've been out of stock on the custom parts needed to make them. I now have the parts on order, and an ETA on when I can ship - so I've added them back to the store.

holy cow those stands are big! but also beyond my current budget, lol. In any case it looks like the bar that spans it is the same, just modified to be supported in 2 spots. Also I noticed that there are some that are doing it on these very forums with the single pole stand. http://www.wsgf.org/node/22352 I dont mind if the arch is not as tight, I just wanted to know if it was possible and also if a 15.5" width would in practice work with the included bar. I also muuuuuch prefer the look of one foot on the desk as opposed to 2...

A few notes on that build
- It was only one person who tried that setup - l88bastard
- The Samsung panels he used only weigh 11.5 pounds with the stand. Yours weigh 17.1 pounds.
- Taking the base off will reduce that, but I don't know how much.
- Acer doesn't list any weights on its site. I had to Google elsewhere for it.
- l88bastard also bezel stripped his panels and took off all the plastics - further reducing the weight and size
- He also had to manually tape the WSGF stand pivots to the back of his monitors with gaffers tape
- He had to tape the outer ones close to the "inside" edge of each monitor (rather than the normal center spot)
- This allowed the ends of his monitors to stick out much further than would normally be allowed
- l88bastard knew he was using the stand beyond the rated specs.
- The whole project was a mod for him, and he accepted the risk if it all failed

The bar is only rated for 75 pounds total. You would need your panels to be less than 15 pounds each to make it. And you'd really want less than that rating is keyed on a traditional setup of three monitors - 25 pounds each in left, right and center. You'd really want 12 pounds or less for each panel, so that the each outer pair came in under 25 pounds.

The stand is rated for how I can safely claim it can be used. If you want to try and go out of spec, then you do so at your own risk. I can't be held responsible if it all comes crashing down and your monitors or the stand get damaged. I understand that the single base looks better. But I can't promise that will work.

I am wondering how you "label" the contents of the shipment.

I am from the EU (Belgium) and I really like the stand, been looking at it for a few years almost.

Problem is, this stand would cost me around 664€ if the "value" was set as total. (Shipping + street price) since there's so many extra import % added.. :wtf:

Labeling only the value of the actual stand (375$) would net me around 482€ after tax.
Also depending on the type of "product" it changes the outcome.

(electronics, hardware, metal,...)

To be clear, I am not asking you to commit fraud and label it as a 1€ "empty" :shh:

"giftbox".
I just want to be sure I don't run in to weird situations when I go and pick up the stand. :crazy:

Currently, buying the ergotech version on amazon UK and then import the upgrade bar is cheaper, it would be around 374€, bit I don't really want to go that route.
I'd spend the extra 100€ to have all the parts come from you, (for ease & bragging rights :rockout:

) but if it goes into the 200€ range I might as well just do the work around. (Not that big of a fan 8-)

)

Thanks in advance,
Ralph

In case I have to go with the work around:
Is there a difference between the models listed as "100-D16-B03" (what you say on the kit page) and "100-D16-B03-TW" models.

The online US Postal form I use online requires me to submit the value of the stand, and it automatically includes the shipping costs on the form. No way around that. I label the contents as "office furniture".

The "B03" model is the standard triple offering from Ergotech. The "B03-TW" is the model with the telescoping wings. The WSGF model uses our custom 5-segment bar, which is wider than the TW bar and more stable. You can see a comparison of the TW and 5-Segment bar here: http://www.wsgf.org/article/wsgf-monitor-stand-reviews (pic in the middle of the page).

So, I ended up getting those monitors. Without the stand they weigh exactly 10lbs. I calibrated the scale with a 30lb weight and then added the monitor and the readout was slightly under 40 as can be seen by the attached pictures. There was also plenty of space to mount the monitors and the weight was within specs. Still, with 50bls on the bar it bowed enough that I had to max out the adjustments on the outside monitors. Once the monitors were removed the bar went right back to its original position.

Needless to say, I wont be able to use this stand for my setup. The problem is the bar bowing even with 50bls which should be within specs. Would you consider refunding the purchase price minus a reasonable restocking fee?

Unispeed,

As I had indicated, the weight distribution in this setup pushes the setup to its limits - and that is why we don't include 5x1-P with 27" panels as an approved configuration. I'll be happy to do the return, with a restocking fee. As per the Refund page I charge I 10% restocking fee - assuming there is no excessive damage.

You'll also need to pay for the return shipping. I can generate a label for you and take that out of your refund. I do get a discount with UPS. I'll email you directly to set this up.

(I'm going to pull off these posts and move them into the WSGF Stand thread.)

Well, when you said that the outside monitors shouldnt be more than 11 lbs I thought I was golden at 10. I think the outside monitors cant be more than 9 in that configuration for it to work.. Thanks for the refund option. Nothing is damaged. The bar sprung back to its original, slightly upwards pointing shape. Just a few light marks. And yes, go ahead and generate a the label.

I was wondering how much it will cost if I just purchased the standard stand base?

I upgraded my old triple stand to the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 with the upgrade kit and was considering setting a second one up. Since I had the old telescoping arm, I was wanting to reuse that however since the old base is in use and I am desiring having two stands I was wanting to know if I could purchase the base separately and get a quote for it so I can price if it is more affordable to get a completely new set or just buy the missing components to make a new one.

Looking at the Ultimate Desk Stand 2 for my new setup, Curious if anyone has any experience with a similar setup to mine.

Going 3+1. First Row
Dell P2715Q | Asus PG279Q| Dell P2715Q

With an LG UM95 35UM95C above those 3.

I am concerned about about 3 27s on the same level and getting them to curve in an acceptable amount.

If this wont work on the UDSv2, could you recommend a 1 over 1 and I will pair with 2x monitor arms.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

EDIT: Fixed Asus model number

I don't think so. The Dell panels are 11 pounds without their base. The ASUS is 15 with. You'll probably need a Heavy Duty pivot for the ultra wide. That panel is flat and rather light for the size. But they have been needed for the curved panels.

Has anyone run a setup with a 34" ultrawide center, and two 27" monitors on the sides, one landscape and one portrait? I'm trying to figure out if this version of the stand will work for that idea, or if I need to try other options.

If I shrunk to 24/25" monitors for the configuration, would the Ultimate stand be enough? Also, since the availability thread says that there won't be stands in stock until mid-December, is there much reason to place an order through the store before then?

If you go to 24" or 25" on the sides the regular Ultimate will work. I'll have a few more available this next week, as I build up some complete stands from spare parts. I'll have five new kits, and two with a scratch and dent discount. After those are gone, I will start an Out of Stock sale, that will give $25 off.

So my parents monitor died and I'm giving them one of my 27 inch panels.

This prompted me to buy a z35p Ultrawide and it's on its way here.

I currently have an Ultimate Edition stand (v1, but that shouldn't change the bar/mounts) with a 27" BenQ GW2765, 27" Acer XB270HU, 27" BenQ GW276 landscape setup.

I'm giving them one of the BenQ panels so my new setup will be 27" BenQ GW276, 35" Acer z35p, 27" Acer XB270HU

Now I know for sure that isn't going to fit all landscape and even if it did I wouldn't have room on my desk for it anyways so my current plan is to turn the two 27" panels to portrait instead of landscape and have the 35" one in the middle. This might work but it looks like it's going to be close.

Has anyone here done a setup like this before?

My last ditch effort would be to just put everything on single monitor arm mounts (probably 3 of these) which would make it easier to move stuff around but I have this Ultimate Edition stand that I'd prefer to use. My desk is a sit/stand desk and this thing is rock solid. It doesn't move at all when I raise/lower the desk where I'd worry about the single monitor arms moving all the time when the desk moved.

I think it will work. All depends on the specifics on the bezel size and weight. I did a 34" flanked by two 25" in portrait, and had plenty of room on the bar. You can see the details here.

Well I got it up and running.

It fit with room to spare on the bar in this config but man, PLP seems to have it's own quirks and issues.

Sure those side monitors are fantastic for reading reddit or forums on with all that vertical real estate but I would so much rather have them be landscape that I may have to rethink my entire desk setup.

Figured I'd try a landscape setup and it fits... barely.

It pushes this stand to its limit. Not sure if I'll keep it this way or if it's even advisable to keep it this way. I do have the stand bolted through the desk so that's helping. I doubt this would work with the included metal plate stand (or that I'd trust it).

I had to push my computer case farther back but luckily there was room and it's rather small compared to my old case where this would never have fit.

These pictures are unsettling... and I don't mean just the dust. Impressive, though ! So much desk space spared and a ridiculously sturdy stand put to the ultimate test. Commendable, if not recommended.

Is it possible to add a second bar without upgrading to the Mega?

I'd like to do a 3+3 and I currently already have the Ultimate v2, it looks like the vertical bar is the same?

Specifically I'm using 27" thin bezel monitors, fairly lightweight... 10lbs ea.

skipclarke,

I currently use 3 Asus PB278Qs for gaming. Not particularly current -gen, but beautiful 2k screens, regardless. Will the WSGF v2 mount be an option for a traditional nvidia surround gaming setup, or are they too big/heavy even if the mount is secured to my custom wood desk? Thanks for guidance, it is appreciated.

It will probably work, but you are right at the limit for weight and width. This stand can handle 60#, your monitors are listed at 19.4 each, so about 58.2#. Width specs say 25.5, yours are listed at 25.31.

All that being said, I don't believe this stand is available. Please see the original post.

The Ergotech 100-series stands, and the custom WSGF Ultimate (which was based on the 100-series) have been discontinued. They have been replaced by the new 130-series which Ergotech just launched. These are now available in the WSGF Store. Keeping this thread for historical reference.
