My setup is 3 27" monitors side by side, and a 39" 4k monitor above. Is there anything here that would work?

Yes, the WSGF Ultimate v2 will work, if you purchase the XL pole with it.

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?

We sell the 36" pole in the store. You can get either from Ergotech if you wish. There are no compatibility issues. All of the parts are interchangeable. You'll just want to watch the weight distribution as you get them higher.

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

You can get about 25-35 degrees between the monitors.

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.

As I replied via the contact form, yes the stand will work. The 3x 24" panels will sit on the center and left arm segments. The right side of the arm has more than enough room for the single 27". Really cool setup.

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://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!

i have 5x1P config with 5x BenQ XL2720Z's was wondering if the WSGF Ultimate v2 will handle this setup?
i have seen pix of this setup with this stand but i think those monitors were debezeled

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!
