I dunno, Darth. I stumbled on it while searching for this type of stand. Maybe whoever is my seller had a couple made up in advance, and is selling them as they can. They're getting low on stock according to my link, so maybe that could explain the price, too. I'm really hopeful it works just as I want. I don't mind paying that kind of money if it's exactly what I am looking for, but if not..... damn.

Thanks for the link and advice. I am also willing to blow the ca$h on this, if it works and looks clean and cool. For this price and engineering it does seem to be a very solid product, and should be very nice.

If you don't mind being the guinea pig first :) Post some pictures right away when you get it please. I am all set to place my order, but will wait for your final blessing as to yes or no ? When is yours due to arrive ?

Thank you,
Zorachus from the [H]ard Forums

....Who's Mommy's little Guinea Piggy?...... ME! ME! ME!......

My invoice said it was shipped Oct. 9 with standard shipping, so I would imagine anywhere from 5-10 business days from there. Maybe the end of the week?

Darth-
I am running a Dell U2410 for my center screen, flanked by 2 Acer P241W's. I have sen a bunch of people slam the Acer screens, but I have to say that for $230 shipped, they are tough to beat, even side by side with my $500 Dell.

I got it from Amazon. After looking this up again, I see the price went back up. Either way, look up the part number, and you may find it cheap somewhere again. Lead time sounds like about a week.

Vicious-
You mean on a curved solid bar? That has a pivot, too. That's why I jumped on this one. Check the extra images. That makes 2 pivots, and the distance slider. You should be able to move them to just about any spot you want. Look at the pics, unless I mis-understood what you meant. Either way, I will definitely get some pics for everyone.

Prop-
That is pretty. Like the curved beam. Do some more fancy woodworking & stain, and it'll look really good!


Ahh you have a U2410, I am really wanting to get a set of those but already have 2x 2407 and 1x 2408. I love the 2408 but it wont color match the 2407's so now I kinda want to upgrade the whole kit to 3x U2410. I may have to settle for just upgrading the 2407's to 2408s for budget reasons or keeping what I have though.

As for the mount yea I know the bar is curved and you can pivot the monitors what I mean is you can not recess them or bring them forward more. So say you set the tilt (pivot) to the degree you like but the bezels do not match up where you want, the adjustment that needs to be made would be to slide the monitor forward or backwards (twords or away from you) and you cant do that when its mounted to a bar.

I have my bezels only slightly behind the center monitor as to not cause any screen shift or distortion but it still helps to keep the bezel size down a good bit and my tilt angle is not very sharp, just right IMO.

Ah, OK. I see what you mean now. One thing I just thought of though... I'm not sure if the side monitors have independent adjustments for height. For example, if my 2 Acers sit lower than my Dell. I can't tell from the page or the pictures.

Oh boy.... I may have to make adjustment plates. Hope not.

Patience Grasshoppa. Just kidding, I'm getting antsy too.

Not yet. It says it shipped 10-09 via FedEx, and has an expected delivery date of 10-16 thru 11-02, so they left themselves a big cushion. I will let you know when I get it, and then I will get a short review up when I get it installed and get to try it out.

Hey I think when these come back in stock I will pick them up. I have 3 24' asus monitors and they are huge. I also have a huge desk but want my monitors to be more eye level. The reviews on these look good and they give back all your desk space also for the price of 70 dollars for all three its hard to beat, also they are fully adjustable so no worries with those one peice stands.

Yeah I have seen that solution posted somewhere else before, too bad it wont work with my desk unless I cut a slot in the back of it since its against the wall. Or I could put a raised board across the back and anchor it down but that would also put holes in my desk.

I may still try it at some point though.

rtaylor01-
I have 2 of those sitting here, NIB. That site will never get them in. Trust me. Waited a while for them myself, then I found them elsewhere for a little bit more. If you are interested, I am willing to unload mine to you.


BTW- Still no triple stand. :cry:
