WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2

[unispeed]

So, I ended up getting those monitors. Without the stand they weigh exactly 10lbs. I calibrated the scale with a 30lb weight and then added the monitor and the readout was slightly under 40 as can be seen by the attached pictures. There was also plenty of space to mount the monitors and the weight was within specs. Still, with 50bls on the bar it bowed enough that I had to max out the adjustments on the outside monitors. Once the monitors were removed the bar went right back to its original position.

Needless to say, I wont be able to use this stand for my setup. The problem is the bar bowing even with 50bls which should be within specs. Would you consider refunding the purchase price minus a reasonable restocking fee?

Unispeed,

As I had indicated, the weight distribution in this setup pushes the setup to its limits - and that is why we don't include 5x1-P with 27" panels as an approved configuration. I'll be happy to do the return, with a restocking fee. As per the Refund page I charge I 10% restocking fee - assuming there is no excessive damage.

You'll also need to pay for the return shipping. I can generate a label for you and take that out of your refund. I do get a discount with UPS. I'll email you directly to set this up.

(I'm going to pull off these posts and move them into the WSGF Stand thread.)

Well, when you said that the outside monitors shouldnt be more than 11 lbs I thought I was golden at 10. I think the outside monitors cant be more than 9 in that configuration for it to work.. Thanks for the refund option. Nothing is damaged. The bar sprung back to its original, slightly upwards pointing shape. Just a few light marks. And yes, go ahead and generate a the label.

I remembered I had some videos on YouTube about this:

I was wondering how much it will cost if I just purchased the standard stand base?

I upgraded my old triple stand to the WSGF Ultimate Desk Stand v2 with the upgrade kit and was considering setting a second one up. Since I had the old telescoping arm, I was wanting to reuse that however since the old base is in use and I am desiring having two stands I was wanting to know if I could purchase the base separately and get a quote for it so I can price if it is more affordable to get a completely new set or just buy the missing components to make a new one.

Looking at the Ultimate Desk Stand 2 for my new setup, Curious if anyone has any experience with a similar setup to mine.

Going 3+1. First Row
Dell P2715Q | Asus PG279Q| Dell P2715Q

With an LG UM95 35UM95C above those 3.

I am concerned about about 3 27s on the same level and getting them to curve in an acceptable amount.

If this wont work on the UDSv2, could you recommend a 1 over 1 and I will pair with 2x monitor arms.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

EDIT: Fixed Asus model number

I don't stock that part individually. Ergotech does sell the part from their online store - http://shop.ergotechgroup.com/heavy-duty-base-black/

You can see the angles available in this video. I'm certain you'll be happy.

Awesome! Thank you for the link. Any weight issues to consider with those displays?

I don't think so. The Dell panels are 11 pounds without their base. The ASUS is 15 with. You'll probably need a Heavy Duty pivot for the ultra wide. That panel is flat and rather light for the size. But they have been needed for the curved panels.

Thanks again Skip for the quick replies. Order went in a few hours ago. Looking forward to getting it on my desk!

Has anyone run a setup with a 34" ultrawide center, and two 27" monitors on the sides, one landscape and one portrait? I'm trying to figure out if this version of the stand will work for that idea, or if I need to try other options.

You need the Mini Mega for this setup.

If I shrunk to 24/25" monitors for the configuration, would the Ultimate stand be enough? Also, since the availability thread says that there won't be stands in stock until mid-December, is there much reason to place an order through the store before then?

[skipclarke]

If you go to 24" or 25" on the sides the regular Ultimate will work. I'll have a few more available this next week, as I build up some complete stands from spare parts. I'll have five new kits, and two with a scratch and dent discount. After those are gone, I will start an Out of Stock sale, that will give $25 off.

So my parents monitor died and I'm giving them one of my 27 inch panels.

This prompted me to buy a z35p Ultrawide and it's on its way here.

I currently have an Ultimate Edition stand (v1, but that shouldn't change the bar/mounts) with a 27" BenQ GW2765, 27" Acer XB270HU, 27" BenQ GW276 landscape setup.

I'm giving them one of the BenQ panels so my new setup will be 27" BenQ GW276, 35" Acer z35p, 27" Acer XB270HU


Now I know for sure that isn't going to fit all landscape and even if it did I wouldn't have room on my desk for it anyways so my current plan is to turn the two 27" panels to portrait instead of landscape and have the 35" one in the middle. This might work but it looks like it's going to be close.

Has anyone here done a setup like this before?


My last ditch effort would be to just put everything on single monitor arm mounts (probably 3 of these) which would make it easier to move stuff around but I have this Ultimate Edition stand that I'd prefer to use. My desk is a sit/stand desk and this thing is rock solid. It doesn't move at all when I raise/lower the desk where I'd worry about the single monitor arms moving all the time when the desk moved.

[skipclarke]

I think it will work. All depends on the specifics on the bezel size and weight. I did a 34" flanked by two 25" in portrait, and had plenty of room on the bar. You can see the details here.

Well I got it up and running.



It fit with room to spare on the bar in this config but man, PLP seems to have it's own quirks and issues.

Sure those side monitors are fantastic for reading reddit or forums on with all that vertical real estate but I would so much rather have them be landscape that I may have to rethink my entire desk setup.

[skipclarke]

It's an acquired taste, but I did grow to like it.

[RadioActiveLobster]

Figured I'd try a landscape setup and it fits... barely.

It pushes this stand to its limit. Not sure if I'll keep it this way or if it's even advisable to keep it this way. I do have the stand bolted through the desk so that's helping. I doubt this would work with the included metal plate stand (or that I'd trust it).

I had to push my computer case farther back but luckily there was room and it's rather small compared to my old case where this would never have fit.
