We are working on a kit that will give you two options for the "middle three". I'll look to see if we can "tuck the bezels" to help hide them. However, because the panels are rotated portrait, you have a much narrower width on the horizontal and the angle needed to "tuck" would be pretty harsh.
The two options will allow you to either have the three middle monitors completely flat to each other (and then the outer monitors at and angle to that set), or put a small amount of angle between the middle three (so the angle on the outside monitors doesn't have to be so harsh).
Ergotech has two types of pivots - regular duty and heavy duty. The heavy duty are about an inch shallower that the regular duty. We are set to include one fixed HD for the center, then two HD adjustable pivots and two regular pivots.
If you arrange the pivots as such (on my 5x22"): HD-R-HD-R-HD, the center monitor sits about an inch behind the monitors in the #2 and #4 position. You then angle the 2 & 4 to meet the center monitor, producing an angle of about 12 degrees. I then set my outer monitors with about 25 degrees, giving me an overall angle between the center and outer of around 37 degrees. However, this produces a more gradual parabolic arc that I find pleasing
Sounds great! I was hoping for options other than tucking and limiting my thinking to uniform mount offsets from the bar.
My 3x1 is setup at 20 degrees with 23" (36.5" span on 12.75" faces). I agree that parabolic is better than a fixed radius arc. I think I might want more than 12 and 25 degrees as the mating angles though. My eyes vary between 2 and 3 feet currently. That might change favorably if I sat a bit further back, which 5x1 might cause me to do.
When I realign my monitors and sit back a bit further, about 17 degrees is where I settle (37" span). Pushing to a 37.5" span yields 13.5 deg, and those seem just too flat. Will leave it that way for a bit to see if my perceptions of it improve.
12 degrees seems like it would be flat ish with 23" monitors (or 24" or worse 24"@16:10 ratio). How does it look if you mount your U2410's on there?
PS- Better or worse than reviewing all the cards and playing not enough games... Great to know that the various companies have someone so thorough, cognizant of the relevant issues, and open to the rest of the community helping them with marketing and now product development.
