Best Dual Monitor Stand For Curved Monitors

Everyone loves a multi monitor setup. Why work on one screen when you can have two or more displays. Here are the multi monitor stands you will need to hold all those screens up freeing those previous desk space.

Admit it, every time you see someone with more than one display on their desk, you feel a little green monster growing in you. Two monitors or even more really do increase your productivity and make multi-tasking that much easier, not having to toggle between windows. But the more monitors you add to your multi-screen setup, the more space it is going to take on the desk. So what can you do?

Dual Monitor Stand

Luckily there is a solution in the shape of screen bracket that holds multiple monitors. These affordable mounting brackets can hold up to 6 LCD displays and take very little space on the table. It will either require a foot print of a single monitor for the free standing type or a very small corner of your desk with the desk clamp type.

There are two types of monitor stand as shown above. Both types of mounting bracket will help free up tonnes of space on the desk and help you arrange your displays to suit you. These brackets lets you orientate and angle your screens easily. For instance, the three monitor mount allows you to have all your monitors in a row centred around you, so you can have a wrap-around arrangement to mimic a curved display.

What You Need to Consider

MOUNT OR STAND: We established in the previous section the two main types of monitor stands, the free standing type and the desk clamp type. The clamp type can sometimes be offer with fixed screwing plates that lets you fix the stand to the desk. Others might offer the option of fixing in the grommet of the work desk, those holds that let you pass cables through.

COMPATIBILITY: Before you rush out to get your monitor stand, you need to know if your monitor will support a VESA compatible mount. These are typically available on the back of your monitor. You may have to remove your existing monitor stand to reveal the VESA mount. They come in either100 x 100mm or 75 x 75mm or both. As the VESA mounts are square, you can decide to mount your monitor horizontally in landscape mode or vertically in a portrait mode but check first that the design of the arms allows for portrait mode. You can also find stands that let you rotate the screen post installation so you can change between landscape to portrait mode easily.

MONITOR SIZES: Next you need to establish the monitor sizes for your multiple monitor setup. The stand need to be able to mount your monitors without suffering from stress or overload or worst, damage. Most stands are build to hold up to 27-inch displays but some can support up to 32-inch. Make sure you check with the manufacturer for the loading capacity and the weight of your monitor.

CONFIGURATIONS: How you like your monitors to be arranged is another factor for consideration. Even with a dual monitor setup, you can have a horizontal (side by side setup) or a vertical (one on top of the other) configuration. Likewise, three monitor setup can have all three monitors side by side or one on the top row and two on the bottom row side by side. For a four monitor setup, a two by two setup is most common. Two monitor side by side in a row with one row on top of the other.

FLEXIBILITY: Lastly, you want to consider the flexibility offered by the arms. More rigid stands are pole based with the central arm made from a single sturdy pole. Sometimes a second pole or bar is added horizontally to hold more than two monitors. Premium monitor stands offer full motion swivel with articulating gas spring arms. These let you move, swivel and tilt the screens to suit your viewing angle and avoid glare, offering maximum flexibility.
