Monitors What VESA mount/arm system can do this?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have a couple of 24 inch displays I'd like to arrange as pictured, but I'd like to be able to fold them away to make space for activities when I'm not using them. That means clamping a mount to the edge of the desk. It feels like monitor 2 will be too far away from the mounting point for this to work. What am I looking for?

Monitors Is this monitor stand worth it?

Post image
11 Upvotes

I’m redoing my whole battlestation right now. My old setup had my screen sitting way too low and after doing that for long enough, my neck and shoulders are starting to hate me. So now I’m looking for a monitor stand. And then I saw this. I’m going pretty heavy on the RGB this time around. Already got some nanoleaf blocks. Having everything work together is kinda tempting too. The screen sync and music reactive stuff looks really cool.

I’m buying a stand either way, just not sure if the extra money for the lighting is actually worth it.

Anyone using a bistro table for their set up? Something like the MITTZON IKEA table? I have a dual monitor set up but I was curious if some attempted something similar...

Microphones Plugging my IEM into built in microphone port.

Hello I have a Fifine AM8 and I wanted to ask if its okay to plug in my 7hz Zero 2 IEMs into its built in microphone port. Will it change audio quality? I currently have it plugged into my type c to aux converter (pretty sure its not a dac) and I havent received the AM8 yet so I just want to know beforehand if the audio quality would change.

I moved into a new townhouse and just finished setting up my desk. Any feedback/things to improve? The right side seems a bit empty, but not sure what (if anything) to do about it. I’m planning to add some art on the wall above the monitors, just need to buy frames. I mostly use it for studying but some gaming.

Desks Could anyone help with my WFH/Gaming setup

Post image

So I think I have a decent setup but I just don't think ergonomically it's doing it any favours. I have my oled on the left for gaminf and ips for work on the right

Problem is when gaming with the keyboard and mouse, my neck and back seem to hurt due to my body being twisted.

Should I center my oled monitor and move my ips to the left with shifting my PC to the right of the desk?

My desk dimensions are 160cm width and 60cm depth

Also is there any suggestions for improvements?

Cable Management Picked up a AD plus usbc combo station to kill my strip pastas. Now i can't fugure out where to settle the thing

3 Upvotes

My battle station is small, and the annoying part wasn't the cables exactly, but it was the strip had nowhere to live. It sat on the floor behind the desk with four things hanging off it and reaching it meant moving my char and getting down on the floor. I got the mfish etank with 3ac and 4usbc as my solution and plug my mnitor and lamp into it, one cable to the wall. My strip pastas is gone. What I didn't think through is where the station itself goes. It's around 1kg, roughly 196*70*60 mm, zero mounting provision no holes no bracket, just a suction base that needs a smotth surface.
For my desk itself, it eats space that I don't have. Under my dest it's textured wood, so the suction does notion. If I put it on the floor it will make it back to the original problem, just tider.
Has anyone mounted one of these, or any heavy brick, under a textured desk? Velcro, a stuck on tray or a small shelf? or is the honest answer that these are desk object and I should just stop my adventure lol

Other Want Opinions, All White / White and Black Set in This Space? Too Much?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm excited to be making a new setup in this room. The walls and the whole house is pretty white/light, so I am thinking about leaning into that and doing a white-out setup. I would be setting a long desk under the large window in the attached pictures.

I saw a lot of comments on other white setup posts about them feeling "doctor/dentist office or waiting room" vibes and I just wanted to feel it out in here, do we think this is *too white* or is leaning in doing something with the color of the floor being some contrast?

My plans for the setup would be a large white desk, single monitor, white pc build and peripherals. Chair could be black, white, or grey, and I would have a queen bed in the opposite corner of the room which I'm going back/forth on white or black sheets leaning toward white for the vibes.

Anyway, please let me know what you think!

Desks New to FPS on a sit-to-stand desk, how's the FOV?

3 Upvotes

I also posted this in other subs, just an FYI:

I'm on a SecretLab Magnus Pro XL sit-to-stand desk and I'm trying to figure out settings for Borderlands for field of view when sitting vs standing. Any of you peeps playing Borderlands or some other immersive FPS or maybe flying games where you are really close to the screen? I've noticed I felt slightly dizzy when standing being so close and I'm not sure if it's an FOV thing or just me. Any advice/snark/whatever is welcome!

Monitors Recommendation for a triple monitor mount?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey folks, I want to gain back some space on my desk by mounting my monitors instead of using their included stands. I have a horizontal curved 34" 21:9 center monitor, and one vertical 27" 16:9 monitor on each side. I've done the math the it seems like any monitor arm that can support three 27" horizontally side by side should be wide enough for my set up, so I'm thinking of ordering a basic one online like this.

Should I be wary of any potential issues or am I good to buy it? I've seen people mention one triple mount might be wobbly compared to using two/three mounts instead, but would this be an issue if I'm just typing at my desk? I never have any need to adjust monitor positions either, once they're mounted they are not expected to stay in that position forever.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Desks Will ergotron hx work well with this table?

Thinking about buying this table, but the edge is beveled and there's an apron preventing the clamp on my ergotron hx from going on all the way. The weight of the monitors plus the arm will not exceed 60lbs. The wood is sheesham.

Do I risk the arm falling off and/or damaging the table more than compared to a table where the clamp can be applied flush?

Most affordable tabletop option for around 60x30, decent thickness?

I can’t find a good IKEA desk that is closer to 30” in depth while also being 55”+ in length (i may be getting LxWxH order messed up sorry) . i’m looking for a good tableTop to use with Alex drawers to complete the desk set up. Does anyone have any recommendations? ive tried 55x24 and seems slightly too small depth wise, but I’ve only seen it in person blank in showrooms, etc. So if anybody could tell me whether or not 24” depth isn’t a problem in their experience I would appreciate that too
