Nice!

Fun and all but I think I will only use it around 30% of the time that I am on the PC.

Top is a 24", bottom is a 22"

Nice setup, I have never seen monitors stacked liked that before.

Just curious, is there a point to having the lamp pointing at the wall behind everything? Besides looking cool I guess

Very cool setup.

Just thought it would look cool, but its really helpful for eyestrain actually. My eyes don't hurt as much as if I was in a dark room, and there isn't any glare on the screens themselves.

Its a CFL daylight balanced so it actually look exactly the way it does in real life.

Its bright enough to read a textbook by

Why did you stack them?

I got 2 -- 21inch dell widescreen monitors side by side its like 1 huge screen.

That's freaking cool with the stack. I like that blue wall paint color.

I just put mine side-by-side, but once you have them, no going back.

Heres a pic of how i got mine.

Space reasons mainly, this way I have the footprint of 1 monitor, I'm still in school so I need to put textbooks and stuff on my desk as well.

The pics really don't convey how huge it is, Check out the size of a D^2P (Diet Dr. Pepper) can in the bottom pic

The Wall mount is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824994018&cm_re=ergotron-_-24-994-018-_-Product

Really an awesome mount! worth every penny, I can move it up or down about a foot, out from the wall like another 1 ft, or even rotate my display 90 degrees into portrait mode!

Yea it is huge but the looking up all the time to see what your doing?

I have my monitors on one of those music producer type desks with 2 levels so they are raised about 14 inches above the desk. It feels like you are flying a spaceship when you have to look up at your monitors :cool:

Nice! I like those desks a lot, you must have a ton of space.

I was in a rear-end crash at a stoplight about 10 years ago and I can't look at something with my neck tilted down for very long

I just wish there was more game support for multi-monitors! Granted having a stack wouldn't really be useful in the game :(

sweet setup staticlag.
I just got my Dell 24" and am probably going to use my Acer 22" as a dual monitor, just gotta rearrange my desk a little to make room

now you can hunt down rx8club trolls with ease.

this thing is sick looking!!

Dr.Pepper ftw. :p:

I have a hard time dealing with just using 1 monitor, I have to have at least 2, though at home I have 3.. :)

If you're wanting to add a taskbar to that screen btw, I recommend checking out DisplayFusion, it works great and it's cheap. (I contribute to it's development hehe).


Oh, and, Razer gear ftw. Can't quite make out what you've got though.. I've got a Lycosa, Mamba, and a Goliathus pad

holy crap Dark!
pr0n on 3 monitors?!

Wicked! I don't know if I could ever go back to three monitors. I used to work at a 911 dispatch center and everyone had three monitors (the supervisors had 4!!!). Everytime I look at a setup like that the nightmares come back. :/


Grats on the second monitor though! I love the stack, gives it a clean look. :)

I'm skipping 4 and going to 6 whenever I decide to buy monitors again, going to stack vertical

People who live in glass houses, I mean who have glass tabletops, should dress their cables! ;)

I have the now-typical side by side [work and home] and it's great for referencing one document while working on another.

Three monitors are excellent for flight simulators tho'.

I too like indirect lighting.

I just got two Samsung 19" LCD's for $220.00 for both after rebate from pcmall.com. I also a new on eof these to mount to the back of one of them as a second pc for watching HD content on a big screen near by.

Like so.

I have a 26" and a 24" side by side now. I can watch 2 1080P videos at once at native res :D:

Wow, I've never seen a setup like that either (well with just two monitors, I've seen 6 before 3 on top and 3 on bottom etc) but I dont really see the practicality of stacking just two.

So here's my suggestion to you to make it better. Get another wall mount like you had for the first and mount both of them to the wall side by side. that way you still have the space on your desk to put books etc, though at that point not sure why you just didnt buy a bigger desk instead of two wall mounts :)

holy crap Dark!
pr0n on 3 monitors?!

try 5! (I am down to 3 currently though)

fwiw windows will support a stupid large number of monitors if you can drive them... My tower will support 14 thanks to a dual head GeForce and 3 quadhead Matrox cards I aquired from work. for shits and giggles i had 11 hooked up one day - couldnt find any more monitors lol. I have a pic somewhere, i'll have to look for it

I wanna see that pic if you can find it.

Hmmm... whats the point of all those monitors? :dunno: Just alt+tab it..

nice set up you all have , i only have my laptop 16" ....

thats bad ass, nice setup

RAZER FTW!

i have the lycosa and the deathadder

^ lol I would love to see a pic of an 11 monitor setup....Ive been wanting to get another one to match my 22

oh and I got to jump on and say razer FTW....all I have is a diamondback though

Hmmm... whats the point of all those monitors? :dunno: Just alt+tab it..


That's the point.. to not have to alt-tab.

At what point is it more of a pain to scroll your mouse across 3+ huge monitors than to just hit alt tab I wonder.

Hmmm... whats the point of all those monitors? :dunno: Just alt+tab it..

At work I have two console windows, each with 4 or more tabs. I am usually logged into 6 or more different unix systems at the same time. I also have email, Sametime, a web browser (with a half dozen or more tabs), and jEdit with a dozen or so tabs (for coding).

No way to be able to watch what needs to be watched by just alt tabbing. I would lose important information. Additionally I monitor live systems as they're processing.

So even with 2 monitors, it's cramped. I ALREADY alt+tab a lot within each desktop to swap between windows!

Since it's Gnome, I can not only just alt+tab between windows, but I have as many alternate desktops that I can rotate between.

I only use two monitors at work other wise I don't have a reason. Too damn hard to develop stuff with just one monitor and I always end up with TON of programs and windows open. I wish I could have one more at work but there is no way.

i actually had set up 4 monitors to make a HUGE square screen and wireless keyboard mouse combo to sit back and take it easy while i use the pc BUT it all burned down with my house :( when i get the next one ill get pics

I used 3 for a while but then I moved and lost the desk space. The reason to have 3 is a fullscreen movie or game on one, 2 full size browsers on a second, and IM's and music on a 3rd :)

I really wish I could have 2 or 3 at work. Incredibly frustrating to have to refer to pdfs or excel sheets and constantly minimize alt tab and move stuff around.

I would seriously pay out of pocket to have a multi-screen setup at work.

Just realized that I can use my citrix vpn (which I run on a virtualized win xp)on my top screen! Nothing like working on a virtual terminal inside of a virtual terminal

I VPN to work, remote desktop into my dev box then KVM over TCP/IP to our lab. It's not particularly useable :lol: And now we're putting VM's on our lab machines....

I wanna see that pic if you can find it.

I'll look for it when i get back home later tonight

what he said.....

or if you're just a wannabe nerd like me.... in my case when i was using 5 monitors - I was hosting IRC fileservers, FTP sites, and uploading to USENET. While downloading from IRCservers, public and private FTP's, and USENET. Simultaneously repackaging, decompressing, converting formats, and burning to DVD. As one disc burns, another in the drive below got its lightscribe label. At any one time I had 7+ applications going, most with multiple windows. When you want to throw in a music playlist and some web browsing into that, it gets VERY cluttered - even on 5 monitors.

-shamless plug for the obligitory pron that would always be playing in the background on at least one screen

Adobe Lightroom is great with 2 screens.
