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.

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.

Sure. I just checked online, and NZ looks like it's the same as AUS shipping. I can set that up tonight. I do a fair amount of shipping to AUS. Shipped three in the last two weeks. No problems.

Yes. I've just checked the pricing online. Shipping will be $200, like Australia. Let me know if you are still interested, and I will add South Africa to the store.

Question about Ultimate v2

hellu, i'd like to know if you can put 3 "24 side by side and still have room for a "34 21:9 up-top?

Thanks for your help and feedback on this. Based on the info you gave about the end taxes, the total cost is cheaper with USPS. I've updated the store accordingly.

Yes. The 34" 21:9 is the same height as a 27" 16:9. You'll have enough room. Would love to see a pic when you're done.

Stand Question for 3+1

Posted: 31 Dec 2014, 00:10

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! :D

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".

*sigh* Silly me in having to be different in my monitor sizing. Oh well looks like a trip to the hardware store is in order. *hears the whirling of power tools*

Thanks for answering my question! :)

Question About WSGF Ultimate v2 Stand Bar Angles

Posted: 01 Jan 2015, 07:14
by Dyin
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.
