VESA Mount for 34" 3440x1440 Ultrawide Monitor

[kent1147]

What VESA mount would you recommend for a 34" ultrawide display?

 

I currently own a 34" LG 34UM95 3440x1440 ultrawide display, on a VESA mount (pic below).  My problem is that this VESA mount is a bit short for my tastes, and I'd like something that can go a bit higher so that the monitor is centered at eye-level (currently, it's centered about 4 inches below eye level, and can't go any higher).

 

Has anyone used a VESA mount that goes higher than 17"?

Monitor dimensions are 100x100 VESA mount bracket, 17.2 lbs weight.

 

Thank you.

What's your budget?  Your best bet to get the height you want, is a vertical dual monitor stand.  Just remove one of the mounts.  Unfortunately, those end up being significantly more expensive than single-monitor poles.

well the center of the screen should be below eye-level.

in fact the top of the monitor should be at your eye-level or slightly below.

This is good for up to 25", so it should work for you: http://www.amazon.com/LX-Desk-Mount-LCD-Arm/dp/B00358RIRC/

 

I have a wall mounted version and love being able to move it around.

 

EDIT: I went to click the link to make sure I did it right and they price just went up from $91

Perfect idea!  Thanks, dude!  I just ordered a dual-monitor vertically stacked VESA mount, just to use the giant tall pole they have.  Once it arrives, I'm going to just put my currently-mounted articulating arm on it, and I'll be good to go!

 

And no worries about "Significantly more expensive".  I was looking at gas-spring single-monitor mounts that go for about $140, before your suggestion. At my age, poor ergonomics will cause pains that you can't just sleep off.  For the most part, you can't pay to get better health.  And the parts you can pay for will cost a lot more than $140 to fix.

 

But in any case, dual-monitor VESA mount on its way for $45!  Thanks again!  +rep.

For office productivity, yes.

 

But for gaming, I want the center of the screen to be in the center of my vision, because I get more immersed that way.  And if I'm sitting there gaming for hours on-end with the monitor below eye level, I end up slouching to compensate.

Different people like different setups though
