Cool, but I am cringing at that monitor sitting on the console... I use THIS for a touch screen I have, and highly recommend it.

u/s_lerner · 5 pointsr/techtheatre

We tend to use an Ergotron mount with a notebook tray. Sometimes there have been issues with getting a binder to stay on the stand, in which case a sheet of luan is added to give further support. The Ergotron should come with mounts that can either be screwed into a desk or a clamp that can be attached to something.

This is a solution that can be made to work with a variety of consoles. In the photos linked below (featuring a very handsome former intern and current redditor) you will see the stand used with a Studer Vista console. The other monitor on that mount is the console overview screen.

Some of the rental shops have also custom fabricated script trays for consoles that have slightly more space on their surface, but I don't think that there's a practical use on a Vi series.

One last thing... light. At times we have attached a LittleLite (the older model, where the light was removable from the round base) to the script tray. We'd then cable tie the power to the arm so that it didn't dangle or get caught as the script was moved. You can kind of make out the light in the pictures, but it's a little hard to see.

There are these, which have a 12" post. For me personally none of those options were tall enough so I ended up getting two of the standard ergotron arms with 6" posts and simply replaced them with ~$20 in plumbing piping from home depot. Overall it ended up being cheaper and taller than anything else out there.

The ergotron short and tall post versions are rated for 24" monitors according the the tech specs, but on a weight basis with the max being 20lbs. I have a 27" IPS monitor which only weighs 14LBS and it works great on one of these arms. Although I'm told that some older and thicker ( > 2 inches ) LCD monitors have a different center of gravity and that can sometimes be too much for the spring. Most newer monitors seem to be closer to half an inch and getting lighter all the time.

u/shadyinternets · 3 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

i went with 2 of these guys http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_147_25?

with the 2 separate tall poles i can stack my monitors on top of each other if needed and in general have a lot more variety of where the screens go. and one easily holds my 34" 21:9 LG so they are strong enough for probably any newer monitor.

im sure there are cheaper versions that work as well too as the linked ones are a bit pricey.

u/idrankthebleach · 3 pointsr/pcmods

I think what you want is an Ergotron LX Mount but they're pretty pricey. HOWEVER, there are unbranded ones (branded by HP, but totally 100% ergotron) for almost half the price here. I have 3 of them and they support my giant Crossover 27Q. I can go from portrait to landscape just by grabbing the monitor and spinning it. I highly recommend them.

You also may want to check out some of the Monoprice offerings here for even less money. I had the dual one for around 60$, but it only moved side to side- not up and down.

u/PeterFnet · 3 pointsr/battlestations

I'm curious also, he says "Triple Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD Arms"
I think he means 3x Ergotron Lx Desk Mount Arms. 134$ each!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JG9RQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thats what I bought but the bottom stand on the current version is different looking...
all that aside its awesome really heavy and sturdy. I have the top monitor mounted in the tube on the stand, I just pulled off that silver thing on the bottom and put it right in no bolts or anything its supported on its own weight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00689HXI4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gG1lybR93BMW

Here is the one I use, it's desk mount but it's definitely strong enough for the weight of the monitor. A lot of arm mounts aren't strong enough to handle the weight but I think this one is rated for up to 20 lbs.

Edit: just saw that they also have a wall mounted version of the same arm

u/baddox · 2 pointsr/compsci

Can't beat the Ergotron LX with tall pole. I use it work with a Thunderbolt display; it holds up fine even though the weight limit specification it dangerously close.

For dual monitors, I use the LX side-by-side with two extension arms for extra height.

u/Dizman7 · 2 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

It's vesa compatible so any arm that can support the weight (which is not much) will work.
 
This is the one I went with, I like my monitor a bit higher than most, so I went with this one that had a taller poll than the regular (cheaper) version.
 
The standard base should fit on most desk, and the legs on it are thin and don't really get in the way if you need space. But if you want a stand for it sit on you'll probably only find the one that I did. I believe this is the one I went with. It's more so the distance from front to back is much deeper than most stands. Says this stand is 14" deep and as I recall the monitor just barely fit it on it. And this stand is 26" wide which if I recall the gap between the monitor stands front legs is like 22". So just an awkward shape.
 
Ah here we go, here's a pic of it sitting on the stand I took. Pretty sure it's at the very back of the stand, you can see there's not a lot of room to spare.
 
Edit - I don't recall the exact stats, but from this pic I'd say the dimensions of the stock base are about 22" wide by 13" deep

u/Rager5 · 2 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

I have been using this one for the last 2-3 years no issues what so ever to hold my LG 34um95. I have a block of wood between the under anchor and desk for extra weight displacement to the desk. Ergotron is expensive but nothing but the best to hold up my baby.

https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497288938&sr=8-2&keywords=ergotron+monitor+arm

u/sjmorrow · 2 pointsr/battlestations

Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you sir. So just to be clear, this is the one, right? http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409767597&sr=1-2&keywords=lx+arm

The one with the tall pole?

u/spiderhamy · 2 pointsr/DIY

It should be fine. The company actually sells this http://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4 and http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-45-248-026-Stacking/dp/B0036RDOT8


They don't let you just buy the base or replacement pole.

u/Un_known82 · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

I use 2 Ergotron LX monitor arms, you can find them on Amazon, but they're not really cheap I would say... Link here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00689HXI4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/joncalhoun · 1 pointr/hackintosh

I personally wouldn't recommend a Hackintosh unless you are willing to learn a little bit on your own, or have a friend who can help out. The problems with a prebuilt machine from a random entity are:

  • Returns may be a pain, unless he provides you with receipts and everything required for all manufacturer warranties. Even in these cases, you need to take out parts and handle the process yourself.

  • Updates can sometimes cause issues (not often, but they can) and if you don't have a rough understanding of things you could end up with a computer that isn't working and no idea how to fix it.

  • Applecare - with an iMac you have the option of a solid warranty, and you can basically just bring the computer to an apple store to get it fixed with very little frustration or questions. I'm not saying you need the applecare, but it is a nice option for many.

  • The resale value of an iMac will decrease over time, but it is still relatively easy to sell an iMac. Custom computers are much harder to sell, and often lose value much faster.

  • This build doesn't have thunderbolt, which is very handy over time.


    This is obviously your decision, I just know from experience that I have had to extract data from my hackintosh, and reinstall everything because I managed to screw something up with an update. If I had purchased the computer it would have been frustrating to still end up doing al the work despite spending $300-400 extra to avoid it.

    If you do go this route and want a monitor suggestion, I really love LG's 34UM95. It is a 34" 3440x1440 res monitor with great picture quality. You need to hook it up via display port or thunderbolt (this build has display port) to get the full res at 60hz, but it is definitely worth the money. I use mine with an ergotron LX monitor arm with the tall arm (see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00689HXI4)
u/construktz · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

The ASUS uses a fully copper cooling system I believe, that is really unmatched. You can pay extra to get it in the [Sager NP8651](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&products_id=7690&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank) but even that doesn't compare to it.

As for the case being a heatsink of sorts, no, not really. Even if they say the machine is aluminum, that's just a veneer, and under it is all plastic. If they did make it out of metal, it'd either face the risk of conduction or it'd get too hot to touch (like some of the older Macbooks that tried that design).

So, I use my laptop for exactly what you do. I do masonry restoration and am sent out of town a lot. I use my laptop almost exclusively for travel, and otherwise live on my desktop. I don't blame you for your standards. I just bought 2 Ergotron LX tall pole mounts for my 24" and 27" monitors and built a riser so they can sit above the LG 34UC97 I just ordered.

Funny thing about specs, though. I'm waiting for Skylake processors, so I only just upgraded my GTX 480 to a GTX 980, and am still running my i7-950. I run Far Cry 4 on max settings with absolutely no problems and high frames. It's amazing how little your CPU is needed.

u/whatthefuckmane · 1 pointr/buildapc

I have 2 LG 24UD58-B monitors. I am looking at this VESA mount:

https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00689HXI4

would this be compatible? I think so because it is VESA?

u/Akoola · 1 pointr/AskBattlestations

Try an Ergotron Arm

I have two of these to hold my monitors and they are pretty great. You can run the wires through the arm so they are "hidden" and its pretty damn adjustable. There are other arm-things out there but they are pricier than the Ergotron brand i think.

u/gzunk · 1 pointr/buildapc

What do you mean sag? Looks like both links point to the same mount, just that one isn't clamped to the desk.

I know it's likely not quite what you're looking for, but I have two of these which each hold an Asus PB279Q perfectly, I can move them to any position I want and it stays rock solid.

u/ArmoredCavalry · 1 pointr/battlestations

I picked up this one, mostly because I got it for ~$100 from a third party seller -

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NV4UX0/

I had been waiting a while for the ergotron lx (tall pole version) to come back down in price, but got impatient with waiting -
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4

It seems to have a lot more reviews, but according to camelcamelcamel, the price is at its highest right now ($160).

u/mt33 · 1 pointr/macsetups

Sure. I used the tall poll Ergotron arm with the regular Ergotron arm, and the extension for the extra height of the top monitor. Edit: here's a pic – excuse the cable, but at this point in my life, I've learned to live with them :)

u/yarg321 · 0 pointsr/explainlikeimfive

I agree. They'll probably buy the absolute best monitor mount you can get. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00689HXI4/
Which is $200
