WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2

[Snipeon]

Ok thks for the update.

[x4ryuusei]

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.

[skipclarke]

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: Select all

┌───┬───────┬───┐
│   │   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.

[skipclarke]

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!

[skipclarke]

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?

[skipclarke]

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.

I just wanted to drop a quote note to thank you guys for helping each other out, and being a great community. THANKS!

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 ,

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!
