Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

[Dawelio]

nope just going to use my current Acer (basic LED, 1080p etc) as a secondary screen while I use the Asus as my main screen. I've gotten so used to two or more screens because of my work I always catch myself trying to drag things to a screen that doesn't exist.

Haha exactly what I do! :lol:

Report back and let us know. It's always handy to have a list of decent monitor stands that actually bloody work.

And please do, it'd be very useful to many people I think!

Care to explain why this one is a gamble? I was thinking of getting one, but I am skeptical on the clamp. Is this your reasoning?

I'm not saying that particular model will have trouble. Also I've never used a desk clamp stand so interested in that, as you say.

In my experience of buying monitor stands I have had the following troubles:

• Stand wobbling due to uneven base. One stand I had would actually rotate on the desk, due to the fact that only a small section of the base made proper contact with the surface.
• Tilt hinges would give way to the weight of the monitor resulting in it sitting at it's maximum tilt angle.
• Balancing was very problematic, even with identical screens.
• Hinges to make the arms move would sag over time causing the screens to droop to one side.
• Very difficult to assemble/disassemble alone (was a problem at the time as I was moving house a lot due to uni, not much of an issue now though).

One day I'd like to upgrade to triple monitor stand that doesn't encounter these issues.

XFX's monitor stand (if you can still get it) is the best triple stand you can get in my experience. Well worth the small country's-worth you have to pay for it.

I have consider it on a few occasions but haven't met anyone who's used it yet.
You've had personal experience with it?

I know someone with it. I'll check with him but when I last went round his it seemed very, very good.


Also my monitor and the mount arrived. I'm an idiot and didn't notice my old monitor has no VESA mount. I guess I should sell it and get a 1080p screen with a VESA bit this time. The Asus is great and the mount itself is quite good. Its well built and it doesn't wobble much (I think my desk is to blame for the wobbling).

Now its time to sit and watch to workout what my next GPU should be .

I've got the XFX triple monitor stand, I've used it although now it's just collecting dust.

In my experience it was very solid, very heavy and well built. Although as mentioned in a post above, height and adjusting monitors evenly was quite ticky etc.

Any questions you might have about it, feel free to ask

I don't have the space for two 290X unless you can stick a GPU in a ram slot

 

[MrKambo]

I want 2 of these! For something special

There's gotta be another mental way that involves greater power consumption and a bigger PCB.

I think Powercolour do 2 390X on the same pcb

Yeah the devil 13 is something else in terms of size and power, they are only 390P chips though. Probably decent though.
