    I have this baby, solid as a rock with a 27" on one side and a 19" on the other, would be grand for two 22", both sides have pivot.

    Just about on budget as well...

    I use this one. Might be a bit overkill for what you're looking for, but I really like it because there's nothing you need to do if you want to move the monitors around once it's set up. Everything is tensioned to the weight of the monitor, so you don't need to go unscrewing stuff.

    Hey

    It doesn't list it but whats the chances that'll support 27" screens?

    I'd say you'll be fine. The arms can take something like 9Kg each.

    Interesting thread.

    I've noticed lately my home monitors are WAY below my eyeline. I'm looking "down" at them and getting some pains in my back and neck.

    I don't exactly want to mount anything to the wall, but is this something that could go on the desk, but raise the elevation of my monitors?

    I'd like to get them to my eyeline, but not mount to the wall. I've got two 24" monitors if I remember correctly.


    EDIT** Read the first link in more detail, that looks like the job! I'm been contemplating buying another BENQ monitor so to have two of the same, as I got one there a while ago and I'm blown away by the quality.

    For those interested, this is my current setup, with the Ergotron unit linked above.

    (Forgive the mess. I've been meaning to get longer cables for years. Never seems to happen)

    Looks lovely, but find it hard to justify €270 when there seems to be plenty of highly regarded alternatives for €30 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭Serephucus


    Of course. Just giving an idea for anyone who hasn't seen one before, etc.

    Worth noting that the €30 one doesn't have any tilt options.

    Never even contemplated this option before today spotting this thread. To think the years I've been "looking down" at my monitors, I'm such a dope.

    I'm probably going to give the €30 a whirl and if it doesnt work out can go more expensive. LAck of tilting might be an option alright, but then if the height can be adjusted don't see any ineherant need to titlt. The point of my interest is to bring the monitors to eye level.

    This has also spurred my lazyness into ordering another BENQ, to replace the somewhat annoying Asus mintor I have. Colour is so washed out, could never get the settings right on it. BENQ so vibrant in comparison.
