We see this every so often. It's probably a burr on the pin itself. You should be able to use the 4th pivot in that position. We can get the faulty pivot swapped out by Ergotech.
I'm currently in possession of 4x Dell U2414H and want to have a setup with a 3+1 stand. I currently live in Europe and due to the limited availability and high shipping costs of the WSGF stand I'll have to go with the next best thing; the Ergotech quad 3+1 stand (100-D28-B13) via Ebay.
I was wondering is anyone has experience with this stand, and specifically with the height of the pole being 28". I like my monitors being 4" or 5" up from my desk, but i dont know if this is possible with the 28" pole. In the US, Ergotech offers larger poles as a seperate buy, but I can't find any of these in Europe.
Hoping to get some clarification on a monitor setup I'm planning to do with the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 before purchasing.
I have 2x 34" ultrawides and 2x regular 24" widescreen monitors (all Dell if that matters). I wanted to stack the two ultrawide monitors on top of one another in the center, and have the two 24" monitors on either side of the bottom monitor.
I read the description and know the first row is possible with my monitors, but do I need additional hardware in order to fit the top ultrawide? I read I also need the HD adjustable pivot to use with the ultrawides, and I assume I'd need two for this setup. Also, these pivots will mount to the poles and not the wall correct? The description said it needs to be mounted to a wall stud so I was a little confused.
Finally, I'm a little concerned about putting this many monitors on one stand, so wanted to hear if anyone else has done a similar setup without any issues.
Sorry that it took me just over 24 hours to respond...
The WSGF Ultimate v2 will work for your setup. I've done a 34" flanked by 25" panels, with another 25" above. Others have done triple 27" with a 27" above. A 34" ultrawide is the same height as a 27" 16:9, so a 34" ultrawide will also work in the +1 position.
You will need 2x of the HD pivots. I corrected the issue with the HD Pivot page referencing wall mounting. I had used an old page template when I created the HD Pivot page in the Store.
The weight won't be an issue. The base used with the Ultimate is the same one that Ergotech uses for their Hex stand, which supports 6x 24" panels. This same stand is used for 5x1-Portrait configs, and I've had some folks do Hex and other odd configurations. You shouldn't see any issues.
Thanks for the clarification. Do you know if there are any tilt kits for a 34" like the one mentioned in this thread for the 27"? I tried searching around for one but it seems like most of the tilt kits for the larger monitors/TV's are for wall mounts only.

I am dying to purchase on the special edition WSGF Ergotech stands (5 segment bar one), however, the cost of shipping + customs, etc will put them out of my price range.
I was wondering if there's a way to purchase them from a UK/EU store?
Unfortunately there is not. The WSGF is the sole global seller for our stands. I don't have any agreements with any local resellers to stock the stand.
This is a Dell monitor stand which you may or may not be able to find anymore. It slides nearly perfectly in to the top of the triple monitor stand if you remove the plastic top plug.
Then you can drill a single hole through the side of both tubes and screw in a metal screw.
I also removed the flat stand from the bottom (4 screws) and drilled 4 holes in the desk. Placed a metal plate under the desk and put screws up through the desk in to the stand so there is no base. Much sturdier this way as it would be pretty top heavy otherwise.
Thank you for replying, you've helped a lot, screwing into the bottom of the desk and attaching a metal plate via 4 screws is something I was planning on doing for sure. As for the dell monitor stand I'm still currently looking though I think this will end to no avail, if anyone else has any idea on what I could purchase to achieve my dream stand setup just hit that 'reply to post' button.
Again I'll note that I will need you to specifically for point it and link me to the items.
I really thought I could do this with the WSGF V2 stand :/
Finally got my stand installed yesterday, loving it well worth the money.
I did notice though the left monitor doesn't seem to be straight, it's angled down to the the left more, I did try to get the arm as straight as I could but when I tightened the clamp it was raising it slightly to the right. From the outter edge the left monitor is 2cm lower than the right, could it be because the arm is slightly higher on the right side and with the monitor weight it's amplified it?

Fixed my problem. Noticed the plate for the tube clamp was off by a couple of mm which was throwing the whole arm off, fixed that than after some tweaking I got it setup good enough.

It is hard getting it perfect because of the middle monitor being different but I think I got it as good as it gets till I replace them.
Sorry I didn't see your post this weekend. Glad you got it sorted. We've seen this issue a few times now with the current batch of stands. I ended up creating a document to show how the arm can be tweaked and adjusted.

The WSGF v2 will do 3x1-L with 27" and a 34" (above or below). You'll need the HD Pivot for the 34". You can also drill through your desk for a cleaner look with the Thru-Desk Mount.
I am getting ready to purchase new monitors and I am looking for a desk stand that will fit what I want to do. Lucky enough I watched JayzTwoCents video on the UDS v2 and it seems like it will do what I want.
First, Can I fit two 38" LG ultrawide's on the top and bottom in a 3+1 setting? Second, how comfortable is it to look up at the +1 or top monitor 8+ hours a day? I started a new job, working from home, with a company supplied iMac and I would like to add a "work" monitor to the top of the stand but have concerns about fatigue after a few hours.
Thank you for your responses in advance! I hope this stand is the one for me!
Thanks for the inquiry. I've not tried the 38" panels yet. LG lists them as 15.5" tall. This is just within the 16" heigh limit. Depending on how high you want to set the monitors, you may want to pick up the 48" pole from Ergotech. They used to offer a 36", but I only see the 48" in the store. You could call to see if they still offer the 36". http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/48-pole-black/
I found that my neck hurt when looking up at my triples (I run "3 over 1"), when using a "regular" office chair. I switched out to a DX Racer chair that offers head and neck support, and it's been MUCH better.
