 Post subject: Laptop and 3 monitors

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!
