My God 2014 Linus talks fast... BREATHE MAN, BREATHE!
I legitimately bought this because of this video, and it's just as sexy as you'd expect. the loss of visible monitor wires, and added desk space is incredible. The funny downside is it makes any wired object on the desk look out of place, because you likely won't have that many wires running across the desk anymore. And it was just as easy to put together as this video makes it look. I didn't have to even lay eyes on the single page manual.
And yeah, I used the amazon link from the forums. I hope you got a kick-back for that =D
I love your videos Ant. Subscribed 3 years ago and have been watching since.
AntVenom lol
bruh imma get it now
AntVenom endorsed it so now I have to get it.
do u still use it
I have the Ergotech 3+1 stand. The quality of these stands are amazing!
I have one of these stands, upgraded to support my 2-over-3 display setup, and I can say from experience that it is SO much more modular than this video or even the company's website could even hint at. They have a link on their site to a distributor that sells individual components like stand poles, bases, and telescopic wings, and there's a guide on the Ergotech website that tells you what components you need to upgrade any of their kits to any of their other kits. However, the way they're assembled lets you build configurations that they didn't even think of. You can have wings attached to the ends of the first wings to allow mounting speakers on either side of the displays, or even theoretically 5-display surround setups. You can have multiple bases/poles to attach these monsters to the back of your desk with clamps or with grommet mounts. Not to mention that the parts are interchangeable between kits. With the kits for a 1-over-2 configuration and a 3 display configuration (because good luck finding a 2-over-3 kit), and no additional parts, I built my 2-over-3 and still had all the parts for another basic 1-display stand that I gave to my wife for her monitor so she could adjust it freely.
I wish I could get it in words just how customizable and modular these things really are. I could go on for hours about it. When Linus says the sky's the limit, he didn't realize how accurate that statement was. If you're looking for a stand to support some crazy obscure setup, I guarantee you'll find the parts you need from Ergotech to make it happen.
I have one of these. Everything about it is perfect except the stand which arrived slightly bent. It's not enough to warrant getting a full replacement but it does cause the entire stand, monitors and all, to rotate when something bumps one of the side monitors.
Linus, thank you so very much for the shout-out in the video. Was great chatting with you about the stand.
As a thought for that mounting bracket system, and I do run 3 monitors, I'd pull the center monitor slightly out in front of the side ones.
- Allowing the center monitor to overlap the sides bezels, giving a single line.
- This may require setting up a custom bezel arrangement, but for Nvidia surround, that's included in the set-up steps.
(actually only takes seconds to 'line up' the road images left/right in that image and your done.)
My current monitors have an overlay of about 2 to 2.25 inch's, giving me a single bezel to look at and smooth transition of the image from side to center.
- The side monitors are angled in for that wrap around feeling, so setting the FOV for whatever your playing or watching leads to some immersive experiences.
- The tested monitors, using the max extension on the system, probably leads to shaking or bouncing of the side monitors if the desk or floor have any movement. (that can be somewhat annoying in locations with traffic.)
a nice thing whould be 3 connections(hdmi or displayport) at the bottem where you connect your pc. and than a connection at the top to connect to the monitor. so you have less cable running
There's really a lot of "gotcha"s regarding monitor stands and I don't think you covered them all.
Plastic hinges, bolts, bolt housings, etc can make even the toughest mostly metal stands lack for durability.
Amount/evenness of monitor sag (though this monitor seems to use counterbalancing).
Forward/backwards movement to bring the monitor to the very front of a deep or even average desk. Looks like an issue here.
Max height. Ideally you could fit a pair of bookshelf speakers under the monitor, maybe even the driver portion of a 2.1 desktop sub.
Compatibility with one/two monitors. Might be an issue here, it doesn't look like those arms can close in enough (though they likely can if using rails). But it doesn't seem to offer you the freedom to push an unwanted monitor to the side like you can with a two hinged arm.
And lastly max/min clamp settings. I have both a thick and thin desk, and only the thick one at approx 1.5" fits the minimum clamp setting of my (different) stand. It'd be fine if the desk had large square metal support frames in the right position, but most don't. Also depth of clamp in case the desk has a backboard.
Probably buying with another 24" monitor to finally make my 3 monitor wishes come true. Thank you sir for the review, it really helped me find a mounting system.
I just ordered a mount it! triple monitor stand for my 23 inch monitors. The stand seems very similar with the pivot and swivel but its in the mail right now and I still have to check it out for myself. Best part about it was it was only $90 on amazon
Linus: If you don't have a voice agent, GET ONE! There is a ton of money and work in voiceover and animation voicing, and you can do it from anywhere these days. Your vocal delivery has undetectable static and pops (Ps and Ts), and excellent tonal range and expression. I would rate your voice as very friendly for a wide range of ages.
Thanks for this review. I like this product and am glad to see it was easy to set up. Monitors can be had so cheaply, I'm going to set up my dream array.
The xfx one is the same skeleton as the ergotech one. I believe xfx uses ergotech as manufacturer and put in their own stand with audio pass through and usb hub. I bought the ergotech model a few years ago, designed and made an ABS cover for the stand so it is very similar to the xfx one. I don't need usb hub or audio pass through, so I put in a card reader.
Well worth the Price tag! your getting your monies worth!
they also mention specific information about using 27 inch monitors and that they need to meet specific size restrictions! its clearly written in the purchase information
Nice video. Your production quality is just getting better and better, and you explain products in a clear, simple, and very effective way with a good use of comedy. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy watching your videos!
i laughed when linus said to screw it into the shaft lol.
First video in a while that didn't have any silly bullshit in it.
You're going to hate tomorrow's video I think. Pure silliness!
I have considered shaving the inner bezels on my setup but have been to chicken as of yet. It also means that any future sell of the monitors would be hindered as well as they would basically have to be sold together instead of separate.
For a $200 Triple Desk Stand with a high quality build, I think it's awesome. :) Bookmarked for now. ^_^
What about if I want to used this for 3 monitor of 34 inch
@@darey_el_rey won’t work, as said in the video it can barely handle 27 inch monitors
Did u bought it ?
OMG this this awesome. I actually just bought a PA279q after having 2 pb278q, but wasn't sure if they would align. Looks good When you did it Linus.
very nice product. Will deffo consider this.
Since I work at a warehouse that holds these, it's very nice to know what someone thinks of the product. Might consider getting one.
Thank You!
I have 3 ASUS PB278Q's that i have been looking for a good stand for, and i was always afraid that most stands wouldnt handle them.
I would consider three Ergotron LX/MX for this price.. Yeah its 3 stands on your desk but you aren't limited to 27 inch and you can use one for a touch monitor in the future, well you have more versatility for about the same price + Ergotron quality.
Hey,
Is it possible that you make a video about stripping a monitor bezel and protecting it against electical shocks. Maybe a full guide.
That would be awesome. I think that would help a lot people around here.
Thanks,
Ardo
I think I would make a plate the same shape of the base and drill holes through both sandwiching the desk in between, tot make it a lot more stable
Finally got a supplier to ship to Australia! only took 2 years :).
Looking forward to setting this up in a week or two.
Tripple monitor wud seem like a mindfk wen playing video games. Its like taking a single photo, stretching it to three times its width, cutting it into three pieces, then glueing it back.
you did the water cooled room and that was awesome. what about a monitor wall like 12 times 27inch monitors. or 8 x40inches
Nice, u didnt mention cost. I build mine 2 years ago from home depot black pipe. Was 65$ in parts and i bought three 22 inch dell displays used off ebay for 50$ each. But mine are only 1080p monitors i will eventually upgrade screen atleast the center i want 2560x1600. I only have one gtx 780 gigabyte overclocked runs fine, but yes i see where if i went up on all 3 my gaming performance would take a serious hit.
This is going to be my new stand! Although I'm looking for the tiniest bezels I can find on 27 inch gaming grade monitors. Wouldn't want the whole thing to look like anything short of a Mass Effect Cockpit! :D
Nice review of the stand, I liked the close-ups of clamps and the extra review of the extension of the stand for actually large monitors (27 in) and the wobble factor gets bad (as noted).
Don't always feel you have to say something bad. A review does not always have to have negatives.
Nice additional info on the graphics card power needed.
This with triple 4k monitor = killer setup and hell a lot of money to buy the beast that will use them
The black bars separating the monitors are always a deal breaker for me. Wouldn't mind it for having windows open and multi-tasking, but for adding to gaming experience I just don't see how it's appealing. Even if they weren't there, I would probably still wait until there's some kind of single surround monitor technology.
colours definitely need to be calibrated!
Your reviews are getting better and better! In the beginning it felt rushed. Now you take your time to say what you want.
It costs £500 in UK, €600 in Europe. Where is the value? For this price you could send request to mill the whole thing of aluminium with the logo you desire on the back and powder coat it in UK. The prices of these stands are crazy. This is for business users or blinded enthusiasts. No offence guys, this is pure madness.
If you can afford the gaming rig that will run this resolution, or even a 6-screen setup, you won't care all that much about 600€... First World Problems, eh?
Marco2G Eds drafts I ordered mine from America (Provantage.com) , was like €275 (Shipping included)
Aerchimonde aaaaaaand then you usualy have to pay extra in customs
You say: "this is madness."
I say: "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
in the philippines its 1000$
Look how cinematic those frame drops are!
Ultimate Network Attached Storage guide/setup - idea for a video? - FreeNas like - I just dont want to buy a Drobo! O by the way Linus - where are these IX500 mods? I cant find them?
Now if they were 3 4k monitors then it would be near impossible to run.
Unless you had 3 titain z's and 64 gigs of 2400 mhz ram and i7 4930(I think)x then....I think you could run some games
toffee boffin Nope, I guess you would have problems with this setup even with 3x 1440p monitors. Heck, if I HAD the money, I would do it, but with HD 3D monitors - it would be difficult for it to use the full 120 Hz of the monitors even then.
toffee boffin would there be a point for 64 gb or ram? because 32 would do pretty much the same, only about 4% difference I would say.
Yeh because if you have the money for 3 Titian z's....why only get 32 gigs? Hahahah
Actually yeah now that I think about it, you can use RAM disk to make it really fucking fast.
the color on the center monitor is soooo much better
I saw that, the pc was with a small account of Frames per second (FPS), and the game wasn't going more of 20 fps. I know that this is for the PC, but it was only to see how much consume the monitors in a game.
I would rather have 1 big monitor that had proper aspect ratio than to have two side monitors that look distorted due to aspect ratio. It is a pretty sweet looking setup. But it would make my eyes bug out having to look at distorted side images. If I *DID* have three panels I would use the extra real estate for regular desktop use and NOT for gaming.
This might be crazy but think you can find and review a triple large tv wall mounted stand? like triple 4k 40 inch tvs. Yeah i know i'm pushing it but would be nice to see both for gaming and watching movies.
Just thought of something,so we have curved tv's right,well what if,we got a 3 screen length monitor,but you can bend the monitor,so you can make it more or less bent...that would be awesome...and no annoying bezels :D.10/10 would buy again -IGN
love the specs and stuff... been wanting my set up to be like that...
thanks! this is just the review i was looking for!
your videos are so informative its given me the confidence to build my very own pc
keep it up guys
Fix the color balance on the middle monitor Linus! Driving me nuts lol. Thanks for the review.
Disorienting at first (I have 3x 24 inch screens and I sometimes use them for surround-gaming), but damned is it COOL once you have adapted!
Please do a review on the freedom arms, they are Awesome and deserve a spotlight !
I have a triple 27" setup with a R9 290 as the guts and it seems to run everything I play at very playable frame rates at max settings.
I am going to be running one of these bad boys with 3 x Asus PG278Q's and a LG 34UM95 in a 3 + 1 config. Its gonna be good :D
I got this stand vlbut I also got the icecube outlet attachment for the base that has 2 usb plugs and 4 outlets for cable management of the monitors. Its damn near perfect and havent found a monitor stand that comes close to beating it
triple screen setups, as I've said before, absolutely amazing for game's like Skyrim and racing sim's, If your playing any kind of competitive multi-player, absolute no-no, your eye's will cry, your neck will creek, and your brain will explode from looking around all the time!
Thx for doing a bit more reviews
the problem i had was when i bought a 3 27" mount stand it was only long enough to mount the monitors straight i couldn't turn the 2 side monitors on an angle facing in my desk has 2 raised monitor stands so i had to put the middle one on a box its not perfect but its a hell of a lot better then the stupid stand i wasted money on
Hey,
Can you please make a video about stripping a monitor bezel?
It would probably help a lot people around here.
Maybe a full guide or something.
Thanks,
Ardo
If you can spring for the extra $100 or something I strongly recommend the WSGF Freedom XL Quad stand. I have that one and it is seriously built like a tank and it doesn't require the telescopic extensions and would fit three 30inch monitors with ease. I have three 27s and and have probably 20cms of rail left on the ends. Also as Linus mentioned the build quality is nothing short of outstanding, I mean the pivots are built like a Mechwarriors foot and snap on off with complete ease. Simply one of the best products I have ever bought, and I mean that because if are looking for a multi-monitor stand this one will last you for life or probably outlive you.
I really hope linus still plans on doing a project of stripping the monitor bezels I would love to see that
Eh if I had a triple monitor set-up which I am somewhat considering I was going to get 1 more 1440p ISP/PLS monitor, but I could but 2 1080p TN monitors for the same price maybe a little less.
I own this and the build quality is bomb proof (long story) it is an amazing product and well worth the cost.
Good work Linus, bought this monitor because of this video and I am very pleased with it.
this is so cool. i might consider buying one once it's available here
has anyone ever thought about making a cheap triplehead setup using 3 1280x1024 monitors? Without bezels ofc
1280x1024 monitors aren't that much cheaper than basic full hd screens...
screen res dose not matter with a stand :S
ivanzegt It's not as much about the resolution as it it about the aspect ratio.
ivanzegt 1280x1024 monitors are 50$ more expensive than a 23" FHD display.
Medieval Blast not if you already own them from years ago. then they're cheaper than anything else.
Used it for my asus "27" HD LED moniters good quality!
For gaming i always put the bazels from the outer monitor behind (or in front) of the middle monitor, gets half of the bazels out of sight and the difference in dept is not notable in game.
Why don't people put the 2 screens on the side behind the middle monitor to have less black bordering on the screens
Brain learns to ignore the bezels in few hours, but if they're behind each other the distance difference breaks the immersion. Your suggestion works in say EVE Online where u only have multiple instances of the same game, but not with surround where it you're supposed to get immersed. Brain also gets used to the "fish eye", but only if the distances and angles are correct to the eye
sweet, a triple 4K-stand! but not for everyone as 28" is the recommended minimum for 4K.. not sure if there are good budget 27" 4K monitors (coming) out though ^^
Well there is that 24 inch dell monitor but other than that all i've seen is 28 and 31-32
Watching this made me wish I had enough money to build the rig I want. Grnated mines pretty good and runs most games at max but I just wish it was more powerful.
Is it weird getting a Honey ad with Linus in it on a LTT Video or not? Kind of cool I think
The biggest problem I have with multi monitor setups is the huge hit on performance. You gotta have a pretty beast rig to be able to handle decent framerates, and you would pretty much have to constantly upgrade your pc. I rather get an amazing multi gpu setup and play games on ultra + eye candy for a very long time for half the cost.
Linus could you please review the Humanscale M/Flex system? It's like Ergotech's, only more expensive - and here's the kicker - completely modular and adjustable.
tbh, i think ill still go with the space co monitor stand solution for my 4 monitors.
Nice stand , want one!
Was hoping he'd show them being adjusted or moved around. He's just standing there taking with his high voice.
My god you can really see the difference between the PA monitors and the other ones.
Bear in midn the camera they're using enhances the difference massively.
(It's like when you use a phone camera and half the image is white and black, everything between is highly contrasted and much more than it would be if you saw it in person)
the display in the middle is probably an IPS panel LCD display. I am now regretting to buy TN panel LCD displays now :)
Medieval Blast It is an Asus Proart monitor, ips panel. Personally I just game at 60 fps so IPS is great for me plus some editing here and there
2 are angled, not really fair.
Hakumisoso
Yeah, cause, with an TN panel you will automagically always sit in the perfect sweet spot in front of it...
Linus is finally slowing down and relaxing his voice ... Still needs to be a little slower at times ... Subed
That thing wobbles something fierce.
Man I wish I could have money like that. I want a Desktop sooo bad. playing games with all those monitors must be amazing
LTT Forum mustard paste.
Watching the video now, cheers people. The mount *already looks awesome*. Maybe I'll get one when I get another monitor, although one of my two is a 4:3...
Done watching; The stand looks cool. Very good option, competitive price, but...not necessarily necessary in my eyes. I'd get one if I had the expense to spare, but I'd probably get three identical monitors anyways, meaning the stands would keep them at the same height, and without the adjustable-ness for each arm a monitor is on, it's not worth it too much for me personally...
i'd definately buy this monitor stand if i had the money, considering that i'm 6"2 tall and i find my stock monitor stands too low in my opinion :P the monitors on the video do seem to go to a pretty decent height so they would definately be something i'd consider :D
motorcate 6'1" here. I personally put my desk on some boards under each foot, with foam for vibration dampening, as I record and such. Helps, with my sub right next to the desk on the floor, on foam itself. I really should record with headphones, but you know xD
yh headphones are great for gaming,.. makes you play better aswell as i found out :P highly recommended :D
Don't give-in into this advertisement BS.
Better go "Chief K3F310B", it's a much MUCH cheaper *AND* better 3-way stand.
Ugh this vesa mount has the same problem every different one has: You cant pull the monitors towards you or away. They are at a fixed distance. I like my monitors closer to my eyes, but they are fixed at that distance..
The cool thing about this stand is its cable management. \m/
0:40 He said shaft heh heh heh , seriously this stand is awesome looking.
That difference between the middle monitor and the other two!
hmm... looks like they have changed up the design since i picked mine up a year ago. Wonder if they addressed the drooping issues due to the plastic hinges.
Fit my 27 inch monitors fine, but they are debezzeled.
Could you take out the stand and wall mount it some how? Probably not ideal, but just wondering.
The best value triple monitor stand.
Could you do a video where you show best mouse to use for different type of game such as MMO, FPS, MOBA, ECT.?
Nice Vid & it looks easy to install
What monitors are you using?
Are you using 1 DVI and 2 DP?
What type of graphic card are you using with this setup?
The color diff between the monitors you used would drive me nuts..The middle one seems to have a much nicer brightness and color , Not sure why you used two diff types of monitors but ok .
This is great for racing sim's, for shooters I'd still just use the middle one.. Just because I never want to buy high end GPU's.
I want triple 24 on the bottom and dual 27s on the top. That would be perfect.
This beast is still rocking in 2020. I just need some new monitors.
would you recommend this?
@@Glitchinventers Three months later and not the guy you replied to, but as someone that owns one and is shopping for more parts to make it crazier, yes 100%. This monitor stand is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I've got a comment somewhere around here from five years ago gushing about it, but I used the parts from two different kits to add two monitors above the original three. It's withstood a lot of abuse over the years without showing any signs of wear, and now I'm looking to add more parts to it. It's built like a tank and modular to an insane degree. If you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
@@alexreffand I haven't bought a stand yet since I haven't gotten my third monitor yet but if you recommend it that much I think I'll go for it ty for help
What is it that is being displayed on the monitors? It is beautiful!
Also, thanks for another great informative video!
its Heaven benchmark V4.0
asus Gtx 780 ti matrix platinium review or riot!
No for real... I would love to see that, as I'm maybe going to buy it. Cheers.
One 27" for Gaming in the Middle and two 24" for Skype , TeamSpeak or Internet is PERFECT !! :D
half way treu this video i kept getting distracted by the huge difference in quallity between the middle screen and the other 2 ^^
I am helping build a DUI / distracted driving simulator and have a reasonable budget. I want to know how you could take off the bezels and what tv's you would suggest for a 3 monitor stand. I am probably going to buy the cockpit and mount from Simrides......I just want the simulation to be the best it can with the limited amount of $ we have. I was thinking about buying a desktop from newer that was all built but I have a hard time figuring out graphics cards and how many ports the desktop would have. the software for the sim is from AplusB software and it is the Pro Edition.
