My dual arm mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN71I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice, I snagged this dual monitor mount that I've been eyeing for a while. Normally $189.99 for a new one, I got a like-new with damaged packaging for $106 after the 20% discount and tax.
You might be able to fix that (and spend some more money) by buying a dual monitor arm! Both monitors will only "stand" on the desk in a single place, so you could have the floating off the table a bit.
How does he support his current monitors? Does he use the stand that came with each? You could get him something like this dual-monitor stand. I recently bought this and it frees up all kinds of space on my desk. I love it.
Also, as others have said, if you're going to buy a third monitor, try to buy him another of one he already has. However, it looks like the Dell monitor is the better of the two (running at 1440p, which is a higher resolution), and it is certainly not under $200.
Also, depending on the kind of games he likes to play, a larger mouse pad might be something he'd appreciate.
Combine the monitor and the window.
Buy a second monitor. Disassemble it and take out the LCD panel and controller board and remove the backlight. Then mount the LCD panel in front of the window. This way during the day, the window acts as the backlight for your monitor, but if you want to see out the window just turn off the monitor and it will be transparent.
Kidding aside, I'd get your second monitor but I'd also buy a dual monitor arm stand like this one so you can super easily readjust your monitors or move them out of the way of the window whenever you like.

This is nearly maxed out in terms of width. You cannot use one on top of the other — not enough vertical space.
Amazon Basics. Don't let the name fool you, very well built!

I saw this after looking at the thread as well. Anyone actually bought this before and can comment on the quality? It's way cheaper than the one on my wishlist.
I also recently got this same desk! I wish I had gone for the 72" though, I got the slightly smaller model and now I'm regretting it. oh well.
With mine I also go this AmazonBasics dual monitor mount, which is really great and I would totally recommend. You'll get slightly more desk space by removing those monitor stands from the surface, plus you can more easily adjust the monitors if needed when you go from sitting to standing.
I also got these cable management trays which really helped tidy up my wires. Your cabling situation actually doesn't seem too bad, so you might not need this.
Oh my god, finally someone else has my desk! Given how those shelves attach no way would I feel comfortable putting my pc up on the edge of it like that though.
I have since taken those two shelves off and put one of these on https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I off center to the left of that middle support for the platform, works great
Yeah. I am going to try to jerry-rig my own set-up.
I plan on buying a treadmill of off Craigslist for halfway cheap and remove the handles. I'm sure I can maintain the control module and connect it to a crankable desk. I still want to have the option of pulling out the treadmill and cranking down the desk if I prefer to sit down for a study session. I currently use a dual monitor set-up, which is relatively heavy, so I need to find something that is sturdy. Let me know if you have any ideas.

It changed my way of drawing :)
You can run a dell u2715h side by side. Should have the same kind of vertical dimension as your Alienware.
I have one setup rocking the u3415w and u2715h with this dual monitor arm.

Absolutely. It's the AmazonBasics Monitor Arm. You can get single or dual mount if you need. No problems holding the monitor with this setup, no movement or shake.
This is the monitor arm I use with a 24” and a 34”, except my 24” is horizontal.

(A 2 foot deep desk isn't really deep enough in my opinion to allow for proper spacing between your keyboard/mouse and the monitors.)
I've been happy with Amazon's monitor arms, but they would be a bit over budget for you. But they do allow you to drill a hole in the desk and mount it to that, no clamp required.
From the base it looks like this one.
Sure no prob.
The speakers are these Logitech ones https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Z623-Speaker-System-Black/dp/B003VAHYTG/ref=sr_1_2
The dual monitor arm is this. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Side-Monitor-Display-Mounting/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=sr_1_1
Basically just mount it on your desk and mount the VESA mounts to your monitors and you're good to go. You will need a decent amount of clearance in the back of your desk if you want the full range of motion the arms can do; e.g. not good for desks that are pushed up against a wall.
I'm buying the Ikea Malm desk for my apartment;I currently have two of these 24 in G-Sync monitors, and I was thinking of VESA mounting them onto the desk.
Does anyone have experience with using a VESA mount on this particular desk? I was considering using the Amazon Basics dual VESA mount arm, but then I saw some people online who have had their VESA mounts smash through Ikea desks. However, each arm supports 20lbs, and the monitors themselves only weigh 8.3lb each, so I'm inclined to think that the arms wouldn't be too stressed?
As an alternative, I also considered getting two of the single arm mounts, because those might distribute the weight more evenly across the desk.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! This is the mount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
The build quality is really solid. To answer your question though, the arms are independent, which allows you to have the monitors at different heights and angles. This means it does take a little effort to get them perfectly lined up. It does a good job holding them there, though. They haven’t sagged or tilted.
If you’re asking whether the vesa mounts on the backs of the monitors line up with each other, I think they do.
I have the 320 dual arm at home supporting my 34 and 22 inch monitors. It works but is not the most sturdy... Many parts are cheap plastic... Also, it may not have the vertical range to go over/under. The monitor wiggles whenever I bump the desk. Tilt tension is friction based only and hard to get tight enough, then difficult to adjust position. And the rotation (landscape vs portrait) tension is not adjustable.
My ergoTRON at work on the otherhand is much more stable and highter quality.
Try this. Or if you don't wanna drop another $300 or so, maybe this which, to my eye (based on not very good images) looks far superior to the ergo TECH stuff.
Maybe I'm just pissed because their name fooled me. I was at Fry's and said "Ohh! Ergoxxxx, thats a good price!" Got it home and was disappointed. Though apparently still not disappointed enough to replace it going on 3 years now...
EDIT: If you don't need height adjust, this may work with the purchase of another arm.

Only way to go IMO. I haven't tried the double but I have two of the singles and they are amazing.
There are a lot of vertical monitor stands on Amazon but it looks like the only one that lets the bottom tilt up, is this giant Frankenstein thing: AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand - Lift Engine Arm Mount, Aluminum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CAZDAbCYB9GX5
Of this less than Frankenstein: EZM Vertical Dual LCD Monitor Mount Desktop Stand Clamp Holds up to 27" (002-0008) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TO2IAI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nBZDAbM5DEDBZ
For a 34" and a 28", it might just be safer to get two separate mounts/stands. Stability and weight support would be major concerns. If you're confident that you want a single mount, here's one to look at:
AmazonBasics Dual Monitor Mount - It's manufactured by Ergotron, a trusted name. There are reviews showing people using this stand with a 34" Ultrawide and a 24", so you might be able to stretch and replace that 24" with a 28"...your call. I reached out on r/monitors to see if anyone had any personal experience with this monitor (as I don't necessarily trust Amazon reviews) and received a response stating that it's a quality product.
Once again, personally, I'd go with two separate stands. Would end up costing around the same, allow for more customization, and be a bit more secure and reliable. But there are mounts that support the weight requirements for a 34" and a 28", so it's not impossible.
What are you expecting to spend? The Ergotron / Amazon Basics dual monitor arm mount has very good reviews and is very flexible, but it's $180. Which is normal for that kind of mount.
Static mounts can be had for a fraction of that. That arm mount has been on my wish list for a while but I could never justify the expense.
Hello. Yes, the second monitor is in portrait mode use it mostly for Discord, Spotify and reading. I use the following to secure both monitors.
I will try and get more pics from another angle when I get some time.
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511302856&sr=8-4&keywords=monitor+arms
You're more or less having your cake and eating it too with the i7.
Yes, you can step up to 64GB and keep everything else constant. I don't think 64GB is necessary for your use though. In scenarios where you'd consider 64GB, you're likely to be using a Broadwell-E/Threadripper/Xeon/EPYC CPU.
IIRC, that same Ergotech mount I recommended comes in black as well. Amazon's dual monitor arms come in black, and they're pretty good, but if you want the best, look no further than Ergotron's offerings.
Definitely recommend. I went through 3 different arms before finally settling with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ifnvDb2BHVZ07
I just picked up this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077DSZRVZ/
It seems ok after making adjustments. However, it only came with 1 set of VESA screws. Dual arms, but only 1 set of screws? Come on now... It supports 20lbs (the most important part). Not sure how much the Alienware weighs, but you will want to compare that spec. Here's a guy making a review of this stand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6IpG8oqwU4
Also images of my arms: https://imgur.com/a/XYwU1Lp
​
The Amazon Basics one is a little bit more and actually supports a little more weight but I can not vouch: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I/
​
Here's just some notes from my research as I was looking for one...
The main design differences are:
If you notice, there's a few other different design elements:
Basic Design Clamp WITH Adjustment Mid-piece (Not sure what the official terminology is) Bestand/Amazon design I mentioned above
Basic Clamp Design WITHOUT the Adjustment Mid-piece (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWQ5S1Q/)
Single pole design (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077X9Z7MT/)
Horizontal Only Adjustments (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009S750LA/)
​
One other thing to consider when using the Desk Clamp Design or Wall Mount Design is that the amount of space you have behind your desk is going to dictate about how far out your monitors are going to be from the wall. Because you cant swivel the bottom half of the arm all the way around, then your top half + it's angle is going to determine the closest you can get to the wall.
The top arm on the Bestand is ~11 inches. I adjusted the bottom half all the way until they were hitting the wall. I was able to swivel the middle piece slightly so the right monitor could sit a little further back than the left one. It's still about 15" away from the wall which is a little closer than I had with the stand.
However, something I just realized is if you move the center swivel adjustment piece higher, you can probably get the monitors closer to the wall because the top half of the arm angles downward. So you will get more of an angle when the middle piece is higher up which should make the monitors sit further back.
If the bottom arm had an adjustable height that would make it easier to make it sit closer to the wall.
​
Obviously, the hole-in-desk design will give you the ability to mount the arm base further away from the wall so you can swivel the arms further backwards if you need to.
I have the Amazon Basics one. It's very well built, simple, and can be heavily customized.

Using the Amazon Basics one with 2 arms. It's slightly expensive, but well worth every single penny.
Hi I just AW3418DW on ebay, Would I need to buy anything additional along with "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN71I/" to get it work? Going to buy it now after reading this thread and saw that it was on sale
I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN71I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually ordered this "used", but really it was just a small packaging dent, but the Amazon Warehouse sold it for $40 off. There were no scratches, dents, or any problems with the actual product. Definitely recommend checking the "used & new" listings for the product, because a lot of them are just Amazon Warehouse reselling them for cheaper, but functionally they're identical.
Yeah it's the AmazonBasics Premium Dual Dell Monitor Stand - I really like it and highly suggest it. Only problem is I had to return my first one because a few of the screws wouldn't turn to adjust the tilt. From the reviews it seems multiple people got defective ones as well, but they quickly sent a replacement and it works perfectly.

Sorry this is super late but this is exactly what I was looking for! So you got the dual arm version and it supported the Omen x 35"? This one, right? I want to mount my Omen X 35" and my Dell 17" 5:4 but the omen weighs in at 20.88lbs and the listing for the dual says 20lbs max
Following on from yesterday's post with a surface dock from /u/SurfaceDockGuy I humbly submit potato quality shots of my two setups.
A little background; I purchased my surface last year right after the refresh to replace my aging Dell tablet but couldn't commit easily to the transition because the Dell docking solution included a drop in stand that worked much better for my needs and didn't leave me hunched over the tablet screen.
Enter /u/SurfaceDockGuy and the VESA Surface Dock and I was instantly able to build a flexabile home and office solution that allowed me to work with the same hardware whether i'm at home, in the field, or sitting in my office, it truly is the first party accessory that Microsoft is missing from the Surface lineup.
My home setup is a single Dell P2416d panel sitting on an Amazon Dual VESA mount with the dock solution. For a desk i'm using a height and tilt adjustable overbed table on wheels, this allows me to move around my house easier and adjust for sitting or standing positions (ensure you tighten the monitor arms to prevent overtilt).
My office setup is three Dell P2418d panels (two running native on the dock, one running through a Plugable USB 3.0 to DP adaptor again utilizing two Amazon Dual VESA mounts
Overall it's a great solution, the Surface adapts perfectly to the changing quantity of panels, thanks to /u/SurfaceDockGuy I can finally get some return on investment from my Surface.
If you're averse to drilling into your desk like I was, here's what I used for my cable management with less room to work with than you, OP.
The Basic Stuff
2 x 40" Cable management sleeves- $14
30 x adhesive cable management clips- $7
50 x reusable velcro ties- $8
2 x Cable management bins- $23
The strongest double-sided 3M tape you can find- $10 at your local hardware store
Optional, but highly recommended
AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand- $190
AmazonBasics 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 12V/3A Power Adapter- $27
AmazonBasics 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter- $17
This one looks like the arms have a lot of independent movement, so that might work for what you want. Unfortunately it's expensive, and I didn't see any pics or videos where they have one on top of the other.
Here you go , I wouldn’t recommend the monitor though.

See the attached link. While it is Amazon branded, it actually is from Ergotron. While not cheap, they don't get much better than this. If you go with the dual one, you don't have to install the second arm until you are ready. (FYI, don't install the black cover cap without the arm installed as they are near impossible to take off).

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I
Supports a 32" and 34" monitor fine.
https://imgur.com/cvFKmlZ
That depends.
I have this mount. No problems with a 27" and a 24". I love it.
You can get a stationery monitor mount, which allows you to pull the screen closer, tilt, and rotate, but doesn't allow individual height adjustment for each monitor such as this.
Or you can get three individual mounts, which allow full mobility (up, down, closer, farther, & rotate) such as this.
There's double/triple versions of these as well. Double. Or Triple.
Good brands include: Ergotron, Ergrotech, VIVO, & Amazon's version. Mount-It and Cable Matters both make some as well, but I haven't used these ever.
I just got my Ergotron LX yesterday and I can recommend that, but it is ridiculously expensive. This is a 34" Dell extended to the side: https://i.imgur.com/WkItdIv.jpg
There are cheaper options at least if you do not need to move/tilt/rotate the monitors in difficult positions.
I have a stacked configuration but these should be enough for side by side (These are the same, just different branding):

I just bought this one, it's the same exact design as the very well regarded ergotron stands. Mind you I don't currently have a ultrawide on there but it should be able to handle one fine

Are you talking about this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tMB5CbV9VHBPQ
I was looking at the AmazonBasics brand one because the reviews are great but you can't beat such a low price model. Still on the fence but leaning towards the VIVO side.
Any idea how this would stack up against the amazon basics dual arm mount? That one is like 190$ and titanium/aluminum frame and supposedly super high quality.
Reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NRY9Bb09F0F4F
I get this price point is really low and so worth it in any sense, but just from quality perspective what do you guys think comparatively? Or do you think a mount like the one in this post is really going to be just as good?
I have 2 27 inch monitors on the amazon basics double arm stand and it's a pretty solid mount. Would recommend: https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I?sa-no-redirect=1
The AmazonBasics dual monitor arm is the closest I can think of, but I'm not sure it will work with a 34" ultrawide monitor like you want.

I've got this (AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand) and this (AmazonBasics Notebook Arm Mount Tray).
EDIT: Added the item descriptions for posterity.
I would go for one of those if you can afford it.

There is also a Wall mount version of it.
i don't think there's any triple monitor mount that will support a UW and 2 aditional monitors on either side, i'd say get a stand alone arm for one 27" monitor and maybe the amazon basics double monitor arm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MIBN71I/ref=twister_B00VRLV1JK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
just check that your UW is not heavier than what the arm supports

I plan to use the Acer on the side in a vertical pivot orientation mostly for scrolling Reddit and watching movies. I've considered a stacked (Acer on top) orientation as well. I found this GPU comparison video for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahW5oUxM6l0
Also, I plan to VESA mount both displays. I ordered this a few months ago based on reviews and recommendations. It utilizes the same components as a more expensive Ergotron version https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I
It's this monitor arm with this notebook tray. It works pretty well. :)
Look into something like monitor arms, they give you freedom to move monitors around more than normal stands.
There's also more basic arms like this one if you don't need quite as much freedom as the other monitor arm.
I keep them as far back as possible but the arms extend pretty far. This is what I use for my primary 2 screens. It's very sturdy and holds my 34in and 27in panels without breaking a sweat.

I wouldn’t buy anything short of this. If this is too much I’d personally give up on the idea. Don’t mount high end and expensive product on chinese garbage. Ergotron also makes tons of great options. You’d just have to physically mount your portrait mount in portrait orientation. There wouldn’t be any swivel on the portrait. Not much at least.
