Your voice is like the english teacher who really cared about his students. Very reassuring.
Barry Roland, the Bob Ross of Sim Racing ! Dude I love listening to you, so relaxing, satingsfiying, and the best in depth reviews as well as verry verry informative. Great Job, keep it going.
Your Bob Ross laid back style of presenting is very soothing and a serious help!! Thanks!
Thank you Barry, not only a very informative video but great to show how it's built. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for such a thorough review. I've been looking at table top triple monitor stands, but I may just go with this stand. It offers more stability than anything I've seen from most online E-shops. Definitely worth the price.
Barry your hair is looking mighty fine. You know even though im not interested in a monitor stand im still watching your video. I just love your videos.
Barry your the boss for such videos and presentations....
Cool, calm and collected.
Barry, you may want to do a "refresh" on this video. Sim-Lab has updated its design, and made it even better! No big plates to mount the feet to the uprights anymore. Massive sandwich plates that attach the crossbar to the uprights. Great VESA mount. No more cutting of the crossbar for the quad mount. And they may have beefed up some of their bolts as well. This is an amazing piece of hardware!
Thanks for the great videos. I bought the triple stand after watching your review.
Shopping for multi-monitor stands brought me to this review video... and I must say.. damn man, I am impressed with your setup.
That rig is beyond awesome.
Thanks for the video, I've been looking into this since I'm getting several 34in monitors.
Thanks fir this video Barry! Made my sim-lab build a lot easier! Not that that was hard but clear and precise information such as this just makes it even more fun!
Ordered this stand after watching this review over and over best product reviewer on RUclips
Glad I could help you make up your mind.
Another great review. The best in the sim community, by a long mile.
what a maravellous garden i can see from this windows. Big trees..
Hi Barry
I ran the maths on a tripple stand, in europe at least, it's actully cheaper to buy from Richard then sourcing parts and cutting it myself. Might be good for ppl to know.
Quick maffs
The T nut is has a roll in installation option. They can be installed directly without sliding in from the end.
Another great video Barry.
i just purchased the large triple monitor mount. I think they followed your advice of using corner brackets for the foot and leg connections now.
Excellent and comprehensive video, many thanks indeed. Subscribed.
I am anxiously awaiting my DOF P3 to arrive in late September, in the meantime, I’m ordering various equipment and considering purchasing the SimLab triple monitor stand that you reviewed . Do you have a preference for 27”monitors VS 32” T.V.s and why. I do not have an endless budget and would appreciate your opinion.
I enjoy the your attention to details.
Thank you,
Mike
The bob ross of simracing
thank you so much for your work
Glad you like my work. I have fun doing it.
I see they've modified the design a couple of times since you produced this (excellent) vid. I've just had one delivered and it looks like they've done away with the bracing brackets at the bottom of the uprights. They're now only supported by the 40x40 corner brackets. They've also done away with the corner brackets that support the cross piece and now use 'sandwich plates'. Thoughts?
Great video as always
Absolutely perfect video. Helped me so much. Great. All thumbs up 10 points of 10
Glad it helped you out.
Great review Barry, thank you. The Sim-Lab stuff is really good and Richard is very helpful! My GT1 rig is almost ready. Did I notice a CV1 motion sensor and Oculus software installed on your desktop??!?? Review in the offing????
Yes, working on shooting some video for a review, but I have several more reviews I am currently working on.
So, it may be a while before I get something published.
Hello Barry,first of all your Videos are outstanding! One of the best YT Vids i ever saw, very informative and helpfull!please go ahead......I ordered at Sim Lab a new Triple screen stand only because of this review.I have therefore a question,at the moment i am running 24" screen but might one day swapp to 27", can you tell me which lenght your side arms have? in cm ;-)
thanks in advance......best regards from Switzerland
Sure, 44.5 cm.
Thank you Barry....!
Question. Do u setup your angle of the side monitors before mounting the monitor. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that for curved monitors. Thank you sir. Keep up the great videos
Hi Barry looks really good. Do you think you will try vr or do you prefer the resolution of the triple monitor set up
Yes I do have one. I am using it for a review I plan to publish in the near future.
Would it be possible to place this on a table? The horicontal bar would be around 35-40cm height. Because i want to use my monitor also for playing shooter. So the only thing i had to do is to slide the stand for- and backwards on the table, when i Change the Game.
Barry, not sure you mentioned it....but what size are the T-nuts on the VESA mount. I ordered some parts and some screws were provided, but they are metric. All of my 80/20 screws and T-nuts are 5/16 - 18. The supplied screws are much smaller than this....any idea what size they are?
Love watching your videos
Hello Barry. Thank you again for another killer review. I was wondering what degree you ended on for your monitors? I paused the video and I'm guessing around 60 or 65?
I run them at 60°.
Thanks so much.
Hi Barry how are you.
Can you please give me the measurments of the newly cut long section as well as the new lenght of the arms & over all how wide is the entire unit incl monitors. I have a small area for my own rig and need to know if this will fit as its perfect for what i need
David
Great video! Have the same stand but i cant really get my 32” triples in line Witherspoon each other. Did you get a perfect match bezel to bezel or did you do some overlapping? Is it possible to se a Photo or two?
Thank you very much!
Regards
Robert

Barry, whats max height with the fourth monitor on? im trying to see if i can mount something in the back still, and my monitor setup will be very similar to yours (stage4 still only on my dreams).
Sim Racing Garage
Hi Barry can i ask would it not be easier to putt the Vesa mount for thee centre monitor first before i add the side arms? or was it because you forgot lol
Barry for president.
Hey Barry. Awesome reviews and info you give. I'm curious how wide the 2 floor support bars are apart from each other? I'm looking at getting a Prosimu motion rig and using this for my monitors. Just want to make sure the monitor stand will fit around the rig. Thanks for any info!
I have mine at 45.5 inches or 1150mm. That's with about 1 inch or 25mm left over on each side of the cross bar
I love T-slot alu. It's such a shame that it is so expensive for you guys. Granted 80/20 offers some really nice extra pieces; stuff like Motedis (where this probably comes from), does not offer, but still. Even the basic stuff is like twice or more for you guys.
It is very expensive indeed.
Would you suggest this triple monitor stand over the sim labs integrated monitor mount?
I think i see a couple flaws in the design, especially when it comes to the vesa mounting brackets for the side monitors. Once attached to the profile and the monitors mounted you will not be able to slide the side monitors up to the ctr one? Also with monitors with rear facing ports you will have to fit some 2” stand off to get the hdmi/dp plugs in as they will foul on the profile, assuming the monitor ports are near the vesa mount? Why all monitor manufacturers just don't have downward facing ports is a surprise to me
does someone knows if the current versions of the simlab triple monitor stand would be able to handle 3 * AOC cu34G3S monitors ? by the dimension of the screen from the AOC website I dont any reasons on why it would not fit but simlba seems to be saying the max size for the 21:9 monitors for this stand is 32" only ..
Hi, loved the review and now in the process of ordering the same monitorstand setup from simlab, two monitor questions though, did you buy the spacers for the monitor offset from simlabs? If not, from where. And how did you get 144hz on all three monitors since the 1080ti only has two displayports and the pg279p only has display and hdmi ports. I am running a MSI 1080ti. Looking forward to a swift reply(pun intended).
Yes the offset screws came from Sim-Labs. Yes your MSI only comes with 2 DP connectors. I have a Geoforce 1080ti. It has 3 DP connectors and one HDMI. Thats how I run the three ROG monitors at 144hz. My 4th monitor is a 1920x1080 TN panel that runs at 60hz over the HDMI port.
Hey Barry what did you use for the wheels to fit the 40 series, on 80/20 I cant find M8 small casters. Could you describe what you used and parts, I just ordered this
Here are the casters I used. You will have to drill and tap 3/8" holes to receive the threaded stems.

What would you say whats the ideal inches of the monitors? What is the most realistic ones? Just measure the front window of the car and take those?
I just order one, Curious to see that @home :-P
Hi Barry, what model ASUS monitors are you running. Are they the PG279Q ROG Swifts?
Very curious about your computer setup, as I'm sure you would need a pretty high end graphics cards to run your monitors in surround.
Yes it does. I'm running the latest GeForce Titan X card. Also known as the Titan XP. I have a mild overclock on it, just because it's so easy to do. Frame rates are very high at all tracks. The PG279Q ROG monitors are truly a beautiful thing to behold when properly driven. The combined resolution is 7680x1440. The IPS screens make a bigger difference than you would at first think. As you don' t experience the "shadow effect" that you do with side mounted TN monitors. Your peripheral view is nice and bright even when angled at 60 degrees like mine are. Lot of money though.
I have the same monitors and Stage 4 rig. Need to upgrade my 980ti SLI cards as it seems to struggle at that resolution on these monitors. Time to pony up and bite the bullet on a Titan XP or two......scary .
how big is the footprint with 32s?
I'm considering this monitor stand for my rig but I'm worried about the space in my room. Would you be able to let me know how wide it is (Monitor 1 edge to Monitor 3 edge) with the ends trimmed?
did you ever get the width?
Barry did you add casters to this stand? if so what kind did you use. Thanks
Yes added my own. Bought these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TKQCVDE/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, then drilled a hole and tapped with 3/8 thread on either end of the bottom profiles.
@@simracinggarage3026 awesome thanks
Great video as always Barry. I have a question that is a little off topic regarding the monitors. Is it possible to run different size monitors.
I was think about doing the benq curved ones, with the 35" as the main monitor, and some 27" ones for the sides. The 35" is a different aspect ratio than the 27"s.
I'm just wondering if you would have any insight into wether or not that setup would work properly?
I'm sure the proper GPU would have no problem driving them. But, I'm not sure how the GPU's driver would act with the different aspect ratios. Also, it may difficult to adjust the monitors so that the colors were the same. Not to mention getting the screens borders to line up. As you will have a smaller screen on each side. Of course the only way to find out is to try it. An expensive proposition if you can't get it set up to your requirements. Personally, I would just use all the same sized screen to avoid possible hours of frustration. But that's just my opinion based on past experience with all things computer related.
Sim Racing Garage Thanks Barry. I guess the 35" is the same height as the 27", just wider (hence the different aspect ratio). I think you are probably right though. I don't want to spend the money and find out it doesn't work right.
Hello Barry I’m having an issue measuring the tilt on the side monitors what is your measurement so I can put it on iRacing‘s configuration I would much appreciate that thank you
My side monitors are at 60° to the front one.
Sim Racing Garage thank you
@@simracinggarage3026 hi barry, are the monitor brackets graduated or what? how did you measure the tilt ? I am asking because I am waiting for this very triple stand to arrive
Barry, would you recommend this stand over the integrated version? Mine will be a permanent setup. The integrated seemed cleaner, but I've heard some mention they thought stand itself was better. Thanks.
Integrated would be good I think, if that's the way you want to go. Never used one but looks to have plenty of adustment options. 15mm thick brackets wont have any flex I think. Takes up less room also.
@@simracinggarage3026 Thanks. I really just want to go whichever way is best. I see pros and cons to each. My setup will allow either way.
@@nVIceman Both would do the job of holding monitors equally well I think. Which is best can only be determined by you. Based on your personal requirments.
@@simracinggarage3026 I don't really have any requirements. I just want whichever one is best. I like the idea of the integrated one better, but I've heard adjusting it to your preferable position is a pain.
are the the M8 t-nuts 8mm? Cuz a 6mm bolt is what fits. What am i missing? I measured the bolts and they are 6mm wide.
There are M8 and M6 t-nuts. The body of the nut is the same size for both thread sizes. This for fitment to the profiles channels.
@@simracinggarage3026 thx barry.....i was referring to the size hole/thread size, not the body. I just finished the monitor stand....everything fits great.
Great!
Hey Barry I'm going to build a DIY P1 and monitor stand I have 27 inch monitors. I watched the P1 build and noticed you gave lengths for some of the pieces my questions are how tall are the uprights on the P1 and monitor stand ? Also what's the lengths of your side monitor profiles? I don't want to purchase too much. Thanks
Monitor stand uprights are 1300mm, with the side monitor profiles coming in at 450mm. Hope this helps.
Thanks, I'll be ordering my extrusion next week I have one more question for you how long are your seat rails on the P1?
do you have an idea of what the total width is when you finished the project, i only have 1500mm width in my room just making sure it'll fit in there ok?
I'm at 1300mm wide.
Thank you so much, loving the videos
It seems 27 is the pick of screen size, Im just buying three new screens and making sure I don't cock it up, some think 31 but most seem to want 27?
Hey harry can this stand support 3 40 inch tvs
love your videos man. I watched this complete, even I know I will never buy one of these stands :-)
Same here, although a triple stand may be more affordable in conjunction with the monitors.
But all other hardware is out of reach financially.
But in no way makes these videos less watchable. He has a very good attention to detail and
I always learn something from them.
Hello Barry! What angle are your running the side monitors at?
60°
@@simracinggarage3026 Why 60 ? Is that so all monitors center is the same distance from your eyes ? Im 57cms from my screens which makes my screens sit at 50 degrees .
Can you fit 24 inch monitors on the 27-35 inch model of the stand?
Yes. The 27-35 version has longer arms to handle the larger monitors, but 24" should work also. You will have a lot of arm sticking out past the side monitors though.
Thank you very much for the quick response!
Did I just say nuts stick up? Hahahahaha super funny
Hey barry! Whats your angle From the center to the side Monitors?
🤟🏻🤓
60°
Sim Racing Garage Thank you! I drive 53degrees.. I will 60 a try if the new Monitor stand is ready ☺️
Hey Barry quick questions what monitors are you using if you can share them that would be nice thank you
Here you go: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017EVR2VM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Sim Racing Garage thank you
How big are the monitors you are using on the stand?
27"
I have questions em you know the simlab mount dose it work for 27 inch monitors and what vesa would i pick on the website please
Yes, 27" works. I would get the heavy duty version with the 100/200 vesa mount.
But will the 100/200 work for 27 inch monitors
Yes.
K thank you 👍🔥💯💕
Hey Barry you sticking with your Triple's then ?
Did you not get on with the Rift ?
The rift is a great device. But like anything else it has compromises. Personally, I prefer the best graphics experience I can get. When I compare the CV1 to my triple ASUS IPS monitors being pushed by a Titan XP card, it's like going back in time when I use the CV1. And again, for me, not the most comfortable thing to wear during long sessions. However, where it really shines now is with flight sims. Very natural feeling to be able to look all around you during flight maneuvers. And most flight sim graphics are not that great anyway. Also, the CV1 provides very good immersion when driving. VR has a very bright future, just not there yet IMO, and we have a ways to go to get me to switch. That's just how I feel about it. There are plenty of folks out there who are using it all the time.
Many say your more connected , your IN the car.
You hit your apex easier.
I've tried both briefly and VR was MUCH closer to a real driving for me Barry.
I'm going to have to buy both and decide ..
Thanks man
Yes, very good immersion with the VR. Just too many compromises for me. I still use it. But mostly for other folks to try and my flight sim.
Hey Barry maybe I missed it but how much was it delivered?
I was around 550.00 delivered for the "Quad" stand. I have a link to the Sim-Lab site in this video's description.
That price will fluctuate depending on the value of the euro when you order.
Looks like he already has an Oculus Rift. I saw a sensor mounted on a monitor in this video.
U can see it hanging on the wall above one of the steering wheels in the start.
What is the maximum screen size you can mount in triple on this? thx
Up to 35" monitors.
For what reason the Overhead Screen???
What 3 27in monitors are you using?
Asus ROG PG279Q IPS.
@@simracinggarage3026 Do you use a 4th monitor?
@@aragorn318 he says n the vd that he does as he shows the additional quad mount
What brand was your before monitor stand?
Fast Track Sims
Thanks for the reply. Btw what model are your triple asus monitors?
ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q 27" 2560x1440 IPS
Nice video, thank you . Can you give me the references of pieces please ?
Are those the ASUS PG279Qs or PG278Qs?
PG279Q
what asus monitors are you using?
Asus ROG Swift PG279Q 27" 2560x1440 IPS
Sim Racing Garage can you recommend a 27" full hd 144hz monitor for building a triple screen?
Have not tried any 4K monitors.
What are your iracing graphic and nvidia cp settings? What cpu are you using and have you overclocked it?
does simlab ship to the USA??
Yes.
Inches are also in mm, look it up. You are all using metric you just change the names and make it illogical xD
Sorry barry i wroted wrong
Yes, up to 42". But you need the heavy version.
