Planning Ahead

Hello,
I'm new to the group and am sorry if I missed this question placed some where else.
I currently have 3 monitors (ASUS VN247H-p) running 3X1L and am eventually planning on getting 2 more of them so I can go 5X1P. In my book, I don't care about 4K, I want 5400X1920. But for right now 5760X1080 isn't bad, and I still need to see how 3240X1920 looks. Now, I just need to replace my crappy monitor stand I started out with back when I bought my 20" AOC TN panels.
Now to the big question, which stand do I start with, or do I just jump straight to the Ultimate? I didn't know if my 3 24" monitors would fit on the triple stand since they are 24" or if I wou;d need the XL upgrade and since I would need the 5 segment bar, do I just go ahead and order the big kit so I have everything I need already? All opinions are welcome. Thank you in advanced.

You want to go with the Ultimate. You'll have the short pole with three pivots for your current setup. When you're ready to do 5x1-P, you'll have the other two. If you go 3+1 as an interim setup, then you'll have the tall pole for that. If you go with the smaller "regular" triple, then upgrade, it will be more expensive. Also, upgrade parts aren't always in stock.

I would love to purchase the mount on the far right hand side of this image:

How much would it be? Who should I pay?
Shipping in the tut to NZ looks like $400.
Thanks.

We used to carry it in the store, but only sold one out of a couple of years. I can put it back in there for you. The cost of the stand is $449. I believe the shipping will be $200, but I will need to double check with Ergotech. I don't stock this stand directly. They drop ship it.
Note that the stand will only hold 24" - 25" (with thin bezel) monitors. If you want larger, you'll need the WSGF Ultimate, and then add a 5x1-P upgrade kit. This will get you two bars and enough pivots for six panels.

If you get the "Hex" with the telescoping arms, it can hold some 27" panels, but it wasn't designed for it. You can check out the review that Linus Tech Tips did on the Triple w/ Wings, and how it barely holds the newer 27" panels.
I'll double check on the shipping on the Hex for you.

With the telescoping arms, the price is going to go up. You will be at the price of the WSGF Ultimate + extra bar. I would direct you to this forum thread, where a customer from Australia upgrades from the telescoping arm to the 5-segment arm (which is used in the WSGF Ultimate).
http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=26888Given my experience, and his direct comparison of the two - I would recommend the product designed by the WSGF. It's sturdier, and will allow for more upgrade options in the future.

Yes. The WSGF Ultimate by itself will give you 3x1, 3+1 or 5x1. Add the extra bar and pivots in the 5x1-P upgrade kit (designed for users that have the basic Freedom Triple), and you'll have everything for the 3x2.

WSGF Ed is $374, upgrade kit is $149. Total for the hardware is $523. S/H for the two parts will be $310 at checkout. If I can get everything in one box it should be much cheaper, and I can refund the difference.
Full store is here -

The WSGF Edition is the one with 5-segment bar.
http://www.wsgf.org/products/freedom-ws ... k-stand-v2The arm in the upgrade kit slides onto the pole, and would be in place of the "mini bar" that gives the +1 monitor at the top.

Hello,
I just wanted to say that i just purchased the Ultimate monitor stand to run my 4 Dell 2709W monitors in a 3x1 setup. I just received my order the other day and was very excited to have all of my monitors set up and working. I did have a few questions. One of my adjustable pivots did have a missing c clamp and i am having a problem aligning the monitors.
I read the stand can hold my monitors as they each weight about 18 pounds but i am unable to line up the two monitors on the pivots. they seem to be drooping and i have adjusted the pivots as high up as they will go. any help here would be much appreciated.
But i must say that even with the adjustment issue i am currently having i absolutely love this stand

I can replace the pivot for you. Can you send me a picture of the setup in an email. You should have received an email from the WSGF Store with my personal email address. I may have some tips on how to make better adjustments.
Your stands are really on the edge of the specs. One thing we've had people do is use one of the adjustable pivots in the middle position. This will let you push it down to meet the outer two, when they are raised.
Glad you like it otherwise, and I'll be sure to get these issues resolved for you.

Is the
Freedom Triple Desk Stand enough for these screens? They have thin bezels, so I'd rather go with the smallest stand I can find.

No. It is only designed for 3x 24" panels. The WSGF Ultimate is designed for 27".
