Looking forward to the monitor arm review - would be great to see some that are "stands" rather than clip-ons. My desk has drawers so clamp stands aren't an option.
I hope bundles like this become more common, it'd take away a lot of the headache of trying to find compatible monitor arms for multiple monitors, finding actual compatible monitors, etc.
Unless you're trying to mount a specialty monitor, or an ultrawide, almost any well reviews Vesa arm will work. Most modern monitors fall well under the weight limit imposed by the popular arms.
Might be a hit or miss with those ones depending on QA when compared to regular dual monitor mounts. Used similiar style monitor mounts (1 rail with adjustable Vesa mounts) in the office and some had issues with proper balancing even with identical monitors.
I am definitely in the category of having a "thick desk". ;). IKEA quality tables are too weak to handle the weight of my triple monitor setup, so I was forced to reinforce the table with additional wood hidden under the surface where the mounting bracket attaches to prevent the desk from being damaged. Let's just say I ran it without additional support for a day and watched my monitors slowly tip forward before I quickly dismantled the whole thing.
I placed a spare bathroom tile between the desk surface and under the monitor stand base to disperse the weight. I spray painted it black so it was less of an eye sore. It did work fine for many years before I changed my desk. Now I use a flimsy IKEA night stand made of metal that cost 9$. I chose to use a lighter chopping board made of wood instead of the tile to disperse the weight and reinforce the thin sheet metal. I chose the nightstand because I wanted the comfort of gaming from a couch on a PC. So I have two of these nightstands on each side of my lounge chair. I have a keypad on my left side and my mouse and mousepad to my right. The third nightstand with my two screens are infront of me. Now I don't have to slouch forward while gaming, I am leaned far back as I can still reach my peripherals as they are basically placed where armrests would normally be.
100% agree. Have the same issue with THICC Ikea desks. When Linus was wondering why it was so thick I was like for people like me who have ridiculously thick desks that cheap monitor arms rarely work with. I ended up taking a scrap board and using a huge C-clamp to attach it to the desk in order to get a mounting point thin enough for cheap microphone arms. Worked fine for that but doing the same with something as heavy as dual or triple monitors is a no go for me. Respect to LG for considering all customers and building a quality mount.
@Cole Soucy Those with a cardboard core can't hold the weight of several monitors as the monitor stand basically becomes a crowbar that digs into the desk. Obviously it can hold when the monitors arms are directly above the point of contact, but when they are swung closer to you the leverage will be too great. Obviously IKEA sells more robust table tops that are solid inside and doesn't cave without extra reinforcement.
@@momatotsosrorudodi You are better off for the money buying some actual wood and making the desk top yourself, than buying from Ikea. I was able to get a 4x8 sheet of oak veneer plywood, heat set trim, sandpaper, and polyurethane finish for under $100, and used thet piece to build a counter and a desk.
I use a Vivo single monitor stand with a clamp style mount. I got it for $35USD and use for my 34’ ultrawide. It was really easy to set up, and I think it does its job well for being so cheap. It is very basic but the build quality is pretty good. Plus, it has no sag in the way I have it set up which is far from ideal.
Regarding the, “who has a desk this thick?” question, I work in a warehouse and we have a huge butcher block table as our central computer workspace (multiple computer setups at the same table) and we initially had major issues trying to find monitor arms that could open up wide enough to accommodate our table. In the end we bit the bullet and just used the provided stands even though they take up precious table real estate.
Most halfway decent stands have a second base on them that you can swap to. That allows for a drill-through mount. This also allows the table to scoot up right against the wall if you so choose.
My desk at home is 3.5" thick. I made it from 2x4's as a wood working bench, hobby bench, and computer desk while I was in college. I have a cheap 1080p monitor that was just sitting on the desk, and an even cheaper (goodwill) 768p monitor that was using a textbook or two to raise it up. The 1080p monitor is not vesa compatible, but I modified the stand to be when I found a nice double arm stand that would actually fit my desk for $20 at a local thrift store. It's been great to make the space below my monitors actually useful for pushing my keyboard and junk when I'm working on a hobby.
I have an ikea bekant desk that's thin, but has a thick metal support right at the edge that the monitor arm has to go over. So I would make use of extra arm base adjustment.
I've switched to Ergotron arms since a couple of bad "premium" arms from Amazon. They're a lot more expensive but the weight limit on the HX models is a game changer for me. Running a "floating" G9 Neo on my gaming rig, and a couple of 32" heavy color accurate panels on a work rig.
And it is not always the tabletop. You also have the estructure of the table in traditional frames. I have a very small table but the tabletop is supported by wooden strips that connect the to the legs as the table is a lot wider in two of it's sides. Without it the tabletop would bend for sure.
For your cheap arm round-up, can you test them up against a flat wall? I remember trying out a few arms a while back and wasn't happy with he majority of them since I wasn't able to position my desk up against a wall and had to leave like 3-6" of clearance for most of them.
To mount something to a desk that's up against a wall, you need to drill through your table. Many mounts come with this optional foot. But... you have to drill through your table.
I have two "Mount-It!" Amazon ones that are made to be mounted directly to the wall. They have a pretty solid range of movement including tilt so no need to be too precise when installing them. Also great for glass desk setups. The downside apart from the obvious one of them being fixed to the wall is that they need to be mounted on a solid wall because they extend a fair bit and the weight-leverage could be considerable on the mounting surface. I have them installed on a brick wall without any major problems, the only issue is that I'm used to changing the tilt of the monitor all the time and I've noticed that a screw on the tilt part comes a little loose from time to time so I just have the Allen key on hand to tight it when it happens.
Especially that Huanuo one! I bought it. The 6.5 inches of open space behind my desk wasn't enough, and the arms would scrape the wall. I've since replaced it with a dual monitor arm similar to this, with less flexibility but made for any monitors (of appropriate size). Includes height adjustment on the mounts, so they don't need to match.
LTT has been slowly in decline.. the total lack of legitimate care and effort put into videos is becoming more and more apparent. It’s almost exclusively sponsored content, unboxings, etc. even when it’s an original idea/concept, it’s poorly executed without much effort.

@@Tonyx.yt. you should check how much Apple charges for a 6K display with insane brightness and color profiles before embarassing yourself on the internet.
My two monitors aren't even matched in size, let alone colour temperature, and it used to drive me mad. Until one day, I sent one portrait, and fully embraced the colour temperature difference, deliberately setting one to warm and one to cool, because trying to match an AOC and Asus monitor from like six years apart is a fool's game. My next monitor, since I'm one of them goofy Mac users, will just be a nice big ultrawide.
I've given up trying to match my AOC with my HP monitor the AOC seem quite cool and the HP quite warm. I also have the HP in portrait its 1200 x 1920 and AOC is 1080 x 1920.
Ultra wide won’t fix your issue though. I went dual 24s with different brands to a 34 ultra wide then 3 years after dual ultra wides with different brands. It’s a vicious cycle.
I have a 38 inch LG ultrawide and it's an amazing monitor. But turns out no matter how large your prmary monitor is, you still want a second screen for some overspill content. My plan was going solo 38 inch but it was just less practical. I game on the 38, for instance, and sometimes enjoy having a video stream or something up on the second, and maybe a web page with some information I need while in-game... I could game windowed and tile them on the main screen I guess, but that would suck.
Lack of MST support on Mac has spawned an entire market for USB hubs, unstable DisplayLink, and extra cables that turn an otherwise clean setup into an annoying (and expensive) situation.
The fundamental problem with this (and a lot of monitor arms) is how it’s designed to have the monitors be facing the same way, and you sit in the middle of them. This is bad for your posture.

Hello Sir, Linus, or anyone of the writers of the LMG reading comments of this Video, I have a video suggestion for you to please compare the top AIOs from every major Brand to see which one's the best, as AIOs typically between are 200$ - 300$, Users can get the best one for the best value of money. Ryujin II 360 vs H170i Elite Capellix, Kraken Z73, Artic Freezer 360, EK 360 AIO
As a part-time Mac user I've run into the MST issue countless times when searching for Type-C docks, Thunderbolt or USB. It's a massive pain, and it's been that way for YEARS. The new M1 Macs are even worse. Apple: "Type-C all the things!" Also Apple: "Except the iPhone..." Also also Apple: "...And only one at a time..."
That's exactly why I finally went for one of the weirder dongles that actually use 2 USB-C ports combined in one plug. Not the nicest solution, but probably the cheapest one that actually works (with only one dongle)
I have that generic monitor arm from Amazon you mentioned and have used it for about a year now my main monitor is an ultrawide which it technically right on the weight limit but it still holds firm even when I move my standing desk up and down considering I already had decent monitors this was definitely the better route to go for me since it means less e waste from replacing working monitors and also it was 1/7th of the price.
I hope more companies start making monitor arms and bundling them with monitors. It would take a way a lot of the stress of finding a monitor arm that's compatible
What's challenging about finding a compatible monitor arm? Isn't it as simple as finding one which supports your screen's dimensions/weight? The only real challenge I can picture is if your monitor is not VESA compliant, which is less and less common these days unless you have a super budget screen.
I'm so anxious watching Linus handle the heavy metal while both monitors lie directly below.... Really thought they would break. Heck, even I would not do that and Linus drops things left and right :D
Or Apple could support MST, I guess the title is accurate XD Honestly I haven't heard about it untill now but by Linus' reaction it seems to be standard for a while
I love how they spent an entire video viewing an $800 monitor stand and then mention one for a few aeconds that is literally less than ten percent of the price.
2:35 I have a desk thicker than that. I had to take the doors off my closet to screw to the desk to give myself more workspace and mounting points for my hardware. My room is so small that I can't open the closet doors without moving furniture, so it's a double win for me.
Of the 3 brands of "cheap" monitor arms I have used, my favorite was VIVO. They are no frills, but they make a solid mount that doesn't bounce like the others and has a nicer clean look to them than some of the cheapest.
2:36 I have a desk like that. It's a desk with two drawers. It is really chonky, but it's also really practical. It even has a built in cable tray at the back.
Were do your legs go if you have drawers below your desk? I have a slim desk but still when I cross my legs the upper leg hits the underside of the table. Can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be having such a thicc table.
@@Jehty_ think of it as two tabletops, one above the other, with drawers in between. There is a flat surface on the bottom, the legs are like on any other desk.
I have 2x 28" graphics monitors and a gas shock arm for the 2 of them, at around the same cost, but I did it as I needed. I love the look of that single large arm, but it seems to have the same downsides as most of the options on the market. Real test of that arm is how long the monitors stay in the same position with standard use. Even on a desk, monitors move, and I always have to tweak and adjust to get mine lined back up, just with desk movement, vibrations from people waking in the room... ghosts? Who knows. But it is annoying.
The main reason I was running dual monitors for awhile was to play 3DS and NDS emulators. But it was a little bit of a pain to setup citra on 2 screen for 3DS, but Melon for NDS was great even had a way alter the border to help center the two screens.
@@Thewaterspirit57 I could but then that's like playing on two small screens might as well just play on the 3ds it's self if I was going to do that. Plus changing screen orientation every time no thanks.
@@yugoprowers then use a 3DS instead of complaining :V But others aren’t gonna have that luxury, and will have to play on emulator vertically. Also it’s not something that’s super tough to do, orientating as screen vertically lmao

My desk is 6 inches thick on the edges... 🤐 It's an old steel desk from a factory made in 1911 and it could probably hold up a full-sized truck on top of it. It weighs around 800 lbs and doesn't shake or move no matter what you do to it.
5 monitor setup for me with a 6 mount arm. I leave the top center empty. The top ones I don't use all the time, but they're nice to have. Primary is a gaming monitor and the other 4 are IPS. Finding a desk was a challenge, until I realized I don't need a "desk" and ended up buying a workbench
I have two 27” lg ergo monitor with arm mount used next to each other… I wish I had this option .. 1-2 years when I was shopping .. thanks LG…. But I’m still thinking if I would want two monitors linked together like that or have them separate with my current setup… I went with the lg ergo monitors because of the stand and the clean cable management. I was considering other monitors and purchasing a separate humanscale arm setup like I have in my office… but those commercial ones, while super nice and smooth, are super expensive, it would have cost 450-900$ for just the two arms setup depending on the many options they have…. So I went with the two separated lg ergo stands for my wfh setup. The only upgrade options and recourse is to stick with LG monitors that have the rear lg clip system for ease … their lg gaming monitors do easily click onto the ergo stand … soo maybe if I need to go 120hz or higher I can do that …
I have 2 cheap monitor arms from Invision but they are exactly the same as the Huano ones, just a tad cheaper (on UK Amazon at least) They are fantastic and I would NEVER spend more for an arm unless I really needed vertical stacked configs
Invision monitor arms over here too! I got the MX450 for my main monitor & was so impressed I bought two MX200 arms for my two side monitors. I thoroughly recommend both those arms for the price I paid.
I would actually recommend against the purchase of a gaming monitor, alongside a regular monitor, or two monitors that are of different models, in my experience I found the VESA mounting for my ViewSonic gaming monitor to be at a different height to my ViewSonic professional monitors, I had a custom bracket machined to resolve this, but unless you can independently move each arm to adjust for the height difference, or if you're able to verify that the VESA mounts are in the exact same spot on each monitor, I would recommend against this.
Not an arm, but a stand. I use a Vivo triple monitor arm (on amazon it shows 1 monitor above and two below) and I love it. I have an ultrawide 36 inch monitor below 2 27 inch monitors and it's my favorite triple display setup.
Would love to see a deep dive into monitor configuration. I've been thinking about trying a stacked setup but a bit concerned about the potential neck pain that it might invite.
Interesting you mention the Huanao arms as I bought those last year, and it held a fairly weighty 27in ASUS monitor on both arms. The only reason I've stopped using it is down to the desk I have now, where I can't comfortably seat the support mechanism at the back due to a wooden overhang. Nice idea packaging these products together, but it just seems so tremendously expensive for something that's not entirely versatile.
I've owned both the single and dual VIVO monitor arms, both have held up perfectly to a dual 27" setup and a single 32" setup. Also really loving their manual crank standing desk. Everything from that brand I've purchased has held up well.
This makes Apple look stupid? Dude dual QHD is not anywhere near the same league as 6K lmao. Heck dual QHD is the same as single 4K in terms of pixels.
I've been running a 49 inch for a few weeks now (AOC Agon), which is effectively 2 27 inch screens (at 5120x1440) with a 1800R curve, and it's been excellent. You can buy this for about 850 euro here, which translated in about as many freedom currency. Now don't get me wrong, some people prefer separate screens, and I obviously can't put 1 (or both) in portrait, but it is a 120hz 1ms screen, with all the same functionality as these dual monitors. So while it's not the absolute better deal, I do feel that this set up is costing too much for what you are getting.
Having only spent maybe an hour playing around with an ultrawide, I may not be able to make an informed opinion. For my workflow, an ultrawide is only better than a single monitor. I'm usually working with 4 or 5 programs at a time and switching between them constantly. Being able to just grab a window and drag it into my main field of view with a quick flick of the wrist or quickly maximise some reference material into my side monitors is a must and multimonitors are the only solution that works for me. Personally I would happily take this setup over any ultrawide but horse's for courses and your mileage may vary
"If you like to have your monitors low and kinda look down at them it might not be the best for that" - I don't think it's really fair to complain that a product makes it harder for people to cause themselves long term injury xD
DisplayPort daisy chaining is a requirement of the standard for versions 1.4 and above. I have a triple monitor 1440p set up from dell that has the input/output ports on the monitors. The only complaint is that since this is targeted for enterprise, I was stuck getting 60hz. I really hope more display manufactures give us display port output ports because the ability to power 3 displays off a single dp cable has allowed for a super clean setup on my desk and allows me to get away with only 1 dp port on my laptop.
While the technology is nice, for 3 monitors and higher refresh rates, bandwidth and I guess, even latency quickly become an issue. 3 * 1440p means 11 megapixels, more than standard 4K resolution. For display port 2.0 I guess that triple 1440p at 120 Hz should be doable, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are issues.
Does it work if u have a 31.5 inch monitor and 23 inch monitor that both fit on the stand but don’t know if they will both fit right together? Anyone got answers?

Looking forward to the monitor arm review - would be great to see some that are "stands" rather than clip-ons. My desk has drawers so clamp stands aren't an option.
I hope bundles like this become more common, it'd take away a lot of the headache of trying to find compatible monitor arms for multiple monitors, finding actual compatible monitors, etc.
Is it really that difficult?? 😮😮😮 I'm checking arms and monitors now and I'm just looking on the VESA details.
@@oliberrr VESA should be enough
Agreed!
Unless you're trying to mount a specialty monitor, or an ultrawide, almost any well reviews Vesa arm will work. Most modern monitors fall well under the weight limit imposed by the popular arms.
> finding monitors that use VESA standard mounting mechanism
If the stand that they come with is also vesa, the better.
I WISH LG sold the stand separately!! I would love to have this for my gaming setup
Might be a hit or miss with those ones depending on QA when compared to regular dual monitor mounts. Used similiar style monitor mounts (1 rail with adjustable Vesa mounts) in the office and some had issues with proper balancing even with identical monitors.
I agree but the irony
Plenty of options on Amazon. Vivo has over 35k reviews and that's what we use throughout our office with 0 complaints
Ergotron for VESA compatible monitors
Highly recommend Vivo monitor arms, I've gotten two and they're super super sturdy
I am definitely in the category of having a "thick desk". ;). IKEA quality tables are too weak to handle the weight of my triple monitor setup, so I was forced to reinforce the table with additional wood hidden under the surface where the mounting bracket attaches to prevent the desk from being damaged. Let's just say I ran it without additional support for a day and watched my monitors slowly tip forward before I quickly dismantled the whole thing.
I placed a spare bathroom tile between the desk surface and under the monitor stand base to disperse the weight. I spray painted it black so it was less of an eye sore. It did work fine for many years before I changed my desk.
Now I use a flimsy IKEA night stand made of metal that cost 9$. I chose to use a lighter chopping board made of wood instead of the tile to disperse the weight and reinforce the thin sheet metal.
I chose the nightstand because I wanted the comfort of gaming from a couch on a PC. So I have two of these nightstands on each side of my lounge chair. I have a keypad on my left side and my mouse and mousepad to my right. The third nightstand with my two screens are infront of me. Now I don't have to slouch forward while gaming, I am leaned far back as I can still reach my peripherals as they are basically placed where armrests would normally be.
Hahaha I did the same thing as I saw the ikea table slowly denting.
100% agree. Have the same issue with THICC Ikea desks. When Linus was wondering why it was so thick I was like for people like me who have ridiculously thick desks that cheap monitor arms rarely work with. I ended up taking a scrap board and using a huge C-clamp to attach it to the desk in order to get a mounting point thin enough for cheap microphone arms. Worked fine for that but doing the same with something as heavy as dual or triple monitors is a no go for me. Respect to LG for considering all customers and building a quality mount.
@Cole Soucy Those with a cardboard core can't hold the weight of several monitors as the monitor stand basically becomes a crowbar that digs into the desk. Obviously it can hold when the monitors arms are directly above the point of contact, but when they are swung closer to you the leverage will be too great.
Obviously IKEA sells more robust table tops that are solid inside and doesn't cave without extra reinforcement.
@@momatotsosrorudodi You are better off for the money buying some actual wood and making the desk top yourself, than buying from Ikea. I was able to get a 4x8 sheet of oak veneer plywood, heat set trim, sandpaper, and polyurethane finish for under $100, and used thet piece to build a counter and a desk.
0:52 🙃🙃 even after years of watching LMG,I still get Shockwaves by the way linus handles tech.
I use a Vivo single monitor stand with a clamp style mount. I got it for $35USD and use for my 34’ ultrawide. It was really easy to set up, and I think it does its job well for being so cheap. It is very basic but the build quality is pretty good. Plus, it has no sag in the way I have it set up which is far from ideal.
Regarding the, “who has a desk this thick?” question, I work in a warehouse and we have a huge butcher block table as our central computer workspace (multiple computer setups at the same table) and we initially had major issues trying to find monitor arms that could open up wide enough to accommodate our table. In the end we bit the bullet and just used the provided stands even though they take up precious table real estate.
Most halfway decent stands have a second base on them that you can swap to. That allows for a drill-through mount. This also allows the table to scoot up right against the wall if you so choose.
My desk at home is 3.5" thick. I made it from 2x4's as a wood working bench, hobby bench, and computer desk while I was in college. I have a cheap 1080p monitor that was just sitting on the desk, and an even cheaper (goodwill) 768p monitor that was using a textbook or two to raise it up. The 1080p monitor is not vesa compatible, but I modified the stand to be when I found a nice double arm stand that would actually fit my desk for $20 at a local thrift store. It's been great to make the space below my monitors actually useful for pushing my keyboard and junk when I'm working on a hobby.
I have an ikea bekant desk that's thin, but has a thick metal support right at the edge that the monitor arm has to go over. So I would make use of extra arm base adjustment.
Useless call out
could’ve just routed them
I'd like to see the cable tester used with EVERY monitor review from here out, so we can know if we should just toss the included cables or not
I've switched to Ergotron arms since a couple of bad "premium" arms from Amazon. They're a lot more expensive but the weight limit on the HX models is a game changer for me. Running a "floating" G9 Neo on my gaming rig, and a couple of 32" heavy color accurate panels on a work rig.
reminder that premium is one of those marketing words that just means nothing.
my ergotron arm has its own problems. it's kinda expensive for the whole thing to fail on one screw.
@@DoctorWhom it means expensive, nothing else
Amazing how many people bash the term "Premium" never having owned an Odyssey G9 or knowing the pile of sagging or broken stands in its wake.
I really hope they come out with a heaver duty model that can handle their bow setup for dual ultrawides (34-38")

You haven't seen a clt desk have you? They can be 4 inches thick
Last office I was in used reclaimed wood from the renovation for the desk. CHONKY.
And it is not always the tabletop. You also have the estructure of the table in traditional frames. I have a very small table but the tabletop is supported by wooden strips that connect the to the legs as the table is a lot wider in two of it's sides. Without it the tabletop would bend for sure.
For your cheap arm round-up, can you test them up against a flat wall? I remember trying out a few arms a while back and wasn't happy with he majority of them since I wasn't able to position my desk up against a wall and had to leave like 3-6" of clearance for most of them.
To mount something to a desk that's up against a wall, you need to drill through your table. Many mounts come with this optional foot. But... you have to drill through your table.
I have two "Mount-It!" Amazon ones that are made to be mounted directly to the wall. They have a pretty solid range of movement including tilt so no need to be too precise when installing them. Also great for glass desk setups. The downside apart from the obvious one of them being fixed to the wall is that they need to be mounted on a solid wall because they extend a fair bit and the weight-leverage could be considerable on the mounting surface. I have them installed on a brick wall without any major problems, the only issue is that I'm used to changing the tilt of the monitor all the time and I've noticed that a screw on the tilt part comes a little loose from time to time so I just have the Allen key on hand to tight it when it happens.
Especially that Huanuo one! I bought it. The 6.5 inches of open space behind my desk wasn't enough, and the arms would scrape the wall. I've since replaced it with a dual monitor arm similar to this, with less flexibility but made for any monitors (of appropriate size). Includes height adjustment on the mounts, so they don't need to match.
@@CarlosParedesDI
That's what I ended up going with but it has that AliExpress vibe so I would like to replace it with something better.

$1200 for two 4K monitors and a dual display arm isn't a bad price.
apple would charge 3000$ each and 999 for each stand too
4k monitors arnt expensive anymore. Good 4k monitors are so I can agree not thr worst price.
hmm not really, good 4Ks now come in at around 400$ and stands in this quality usually cost 100$
@@Big1nz I'd guesstimate about $450 a piece for the displays and another $300 for the mount, if you broke it down.
@@Tonyx.yt. you should check how much Apple charges for a 6K display with insane brightness and color profiles before embarassing yourself on the internet.
My two monitors aren't even matched in size, let alone colour temperature, and it used to drive me mad. Until one day, I sent one portrait, and fully embraced the colour temperature difference, deliberately setting one to warm and one to cool, because trying to match an AOC and Asus monitor from like six years apart is a fool's game.
My next monitor, since I'm one of them goofy Mac users, will just be a nice big ultrawide.
I've given up trying to match my AOC with my HP monitor the AOC seem quite cool and the HP quite warm. I also have the HP in portrait its 1200 x 1920 and AOC is 1080 x 1920.
You can always get the cheapest Spyder color calibrator and use DisplayCAL. Was worth the investment for me.
haha yeah i havent even bothered. got an LG IPS in landscape and a dell TN in portrait. they definitely dont match, and they never will.
Ultra wide won’t fix your issue though. I went dual 24s with different brands to a 34 ultra wide then 3 years after dual ultra wides with different brands. It’s a vicious cycle.
I have a 38 inch LG ultrawide and it's an amazing monitor. But turns out no matter how large your prmary monitor is, you still want a second screen for some overspill content. My plan was going solo 38 inch but it was just less practical. I game on the 38, for instance, and sometimes enjoy having a video stream or something up on the second, and maybe a web page with some information I need while in-game... I could game windowed and tile them on the main screen I guess, but that would suck.
Would like to see the results on the fancy cable tester you have on the supplied cables on this LG setup, just for science
Lack of MST support on Mac has spawned an entire market for USB hubs, unstable DisplayLink, and extra cables that turn an otherwise clean setup into an annoying (and expensive) situation.
The fundamental problem with this (and a lot of monitor arms) is how it’s designed to have the monitors be facing the same way, and you sit in the middle of them. This is bad for your posture.

I hope more companies start making monitor arms and bundling them with monitors. It would take a way a lot of the stress of finding a monitor arm that's compatible
I mean move monitors have vesa mounts
What's challenging about finding a compatible monitor arm? Isn't it as simple as finding one which supports your screen's dimensions/weight? The only real challenge I can picture is if your monitor is not VESA compliant, which is less and less common these days unless you have a super budget screen.
Vesa compatible, easy
Stress? Huh
Tf? They’re all compatible. As long as they use vesa, there’s no “finding one that’s compatible”

Real test of that arm is how long the monitors stay in the same position with standard use. Even on a desk, monitors move, and I always have to tweak and adjust to get mine lined back up, just with desk movement, vibrations from people waking in the room... ghosts? Who knows. But it is annoying.

The main reason I was running dual monitors for awhile was to play 3DS and NDS emulators. But it was a little bit of a pain to setup citra on 2 screen for 3DS, but Melon for NDS was great even had a way alter the border to help center the two screens.
Oh, I was thinking of getting a monitor that rotated instead.
ok but *why tho????* you could easily just get a good monitor at 1080p, and have a stand that lets it be vertical, and it would be perfect like that

It's an old steel desk from a factory made in 1911 and it could probably hold up a full-sized truck on top of it. It weighs around 800 lbs and doesn't shake or move no matter what you do to it.
as an owner of the alternatively arm showed on this video, I think these from LG looks way better
I agree I also own the alterative arm and the LG one does look better but I suspect it not as cheap either.
5 monitor setup for me with a 6 mount arm. I leave the top center empty. The top ones I don't use all the time, but they're nice to have. Primary is a gaming monitor and the other 4 are IPS. Finding a desk was a challenge, until I realized I don't need a "desk" and ended up buying a workbench
Sounds good, ips are as quick as tn now, I've recently switched to nano ips and find it as quick as my old tn panel. So thats worth considering too!
I have two 27” lg ergo monitor with arm mount used next to each other… I wish I had this option .. 1-2 years when I was shopping .. thanks LG…. But I’m still thinking if I would want two monitors linked together like that or have them separate with my current setup…
I went with the lg ergo monitors because of the stand and the clean cable management. I was considering other monitors and purchasing a separate humanscale arm setup like I have in my office… but those commercial ones, while super nice and smooth, are super expensive, it would have cost 450-900$ for just the two arms setup depending on the many options they have…. So I went with the two separated lg ergo stands for my wfh setup. The only upgrade options and recourse is to stick with LG monitors that have the rear lg clip system for ease … their lg gaming monitors do easily click onto the ergo stand … soo maybe if I need to go 120hz or higher I can do that …

I have 2 cheap monitor arms from Invision but they are exactly the same as the Huano ones, just a tad cheaper (on UK Amazon at least)
They are fantastic and I would NEVER spend more for an arm unless I really needed vertical stacked configs
Invision monitor arms over here too! I got the MX450 for my main monitor & was so impressed I bought two MX200 arms for my two side monitors. I thoroughly recommend both those arms for the price I paid.
Reminder that Linus actually defended the $1000 monitor stand. Quite vocally so. 🤔
I would actually recommend against the purchase of a gaming monitor, alongside a regular monitor, or two monitors that are of different models, in my experience I found the VESA mounting for my ViewSonic gaming monitor to be at a different height to my ViewSonic professional monitors, I had a custom bracket machined to resolve this, but unless you can independently move each arm to adjust for the height difference, or if you're able to verify that the VESA mounts are in the exact same spot on each monitor, I would recommend against this.
Good point. You could use two stands and adjust them separately.
Cheap "ErGear Dual Monitor Stand Mount" (Amazon) has independent height adjustment screws on the VESA mounts. Not much adjustment otherwise though.
I got and North Bayou F80 for 850 Philippines peso or about 17 dollar bnew. It's a monitor arm, and you can do a lot of movement using this arm.
Not an arm, but a stand. I use a Vivo triple monitor arm (on amazon it shows 1 monitor above and two below) and I love it. I have an ultrawide 36 inch monitor below 2 27 inch monitors and it's my favorite triple display setup.
Would love to see a deep dive into monitor configuration. I've been thinking about trying a stacked setup but a bit concerned about the potential neck pain that it might invite.
Interesting you mention the Huanao arms as I bought those last year, and it held a fairly weighty 27in ASUS monitor on both arms. The only reason I've stopped using it is down to the desk I have now, where I can't comfortably seat the support mechanism at the back due to a wooden overhang.
Nice idea packaging these products together, but it just seems so tremendously expensive for something that's not entirely versatile.
I've owned both the single and dual VIVO monitor arms, both have held up perfectly to a dual 27" setup and a single 32" setup.
Also really loving their manual crank standing desk. Everything from that brand I've purchased has held up well.
Vivo makes great products. Very sturdy, well built. Only sometimes does the vertical tilt lose its hold and have to be re-adjusted.

Shame shame shame on you linus , I expected more from you
This makes Apple look stupid? Dude dual QHD is not anywhere near the same league as 6K lmao. Heck dual QHD is the same as single 4K in terms of pixels.
I've been running a 49 inch for a few weeks now (AOC Agon), which is effectively 2 27 inch screens (at 5120x1440) with a 1800R curve, and it's been excellent. You can buy this for about 850 euro here, which translated in about as many freedom currency.
Now don't get me wrong, some people prefer separate screens, and I obviously can't put 1 (or both) in portrait, but it is a 120hz 1ms screen, with all the same functionality as these dual monitors.
So while it's not the absolute better deal, I do feel that this set up is costing too much for what you are getting.
Having only spent maybe an hour playing around with an ultrawide, I may not be able to make an informed opinion.
For my workflow, an ultrawide is only better than a single monitor. I'm usually working with 4 or 5 programs at a time and switching between them constantly. Being able to just grab a window and drag it into my main field of view with a quick flick of the wrist or quickly maximise some reference material into my side monitors is a must and multimonitors are the only solution that works for me.
Personally I would happily take this setup over any ultrawide but horse's for courses and your mileage may vary

"If you like to have your monitors low and kinda look down at them it might not be the best for that" - I don't think it's really fair to complain that a product makes it harder for people to cause themselves long term injury xD
Truly, what I was thinking. 'If you like to have your monitors low' your spine hates you.
DisplayPort daisy chaining is a requirement of the standard for versions 1.4 and above. I have a triple monitor 1440p set up from dell that has the input/output ports on the monitors. The only complaint is that since this is targeted for enterprise, I was stuck getting 60hz. I really hope more display manufactures give us display port output ports because the ability to power 3 displays off a single dp cable has allowed for a super clean setup on my desk and allows me to get away with only 1 dp port on my laptop.
While the technology is nice, for 3 monitors and higher refresh rates, bandwidth and I guess, even latency quickly become an issue. 3 * 1440p means 11 megapixels, more than standard 4K resolution. For display port 2.0 I guess that triple 1440p at 120 Hz should be doable, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are issues.
