Display Mounting

[TylerD321]

What is the best way to mount 3 27 inch displays with two in landscape orientation on top of eachother along with one to the left of it in portrait orientation? The one in portrait orientation might be nice to have slightly angled towards the other two as I like to be centered on my displays. View attached screenshot for how I would like it to be set up.

 

I currently have something like this: Amazon.com: Monoprice Dual Monitor Adjustable Gas Spring Desk Mount - Monitors Up to 27in, Up to 14.3lbs Per Arm - Workstream Collection : Electronics

 

I was thinking about mounting the 1440p monitor I have on the way to my current landscape monitor's location and then wall mounting the other monitor above. I'd like to avoid mounting to wall if possible.

I will add, when i got my current (new) monitor i found the sizing for windows display manager was different based on resolution not screen size (both monitors 27inch), see below

 

And so accessing the secondary screen is a bit harder, i moved my 2 screen into the centre of the 1 screen (this is an image pulled from google) and that made it a bit easier, but theres about 2inch/5cm at the top and bottom of my 1440p that are solid walls and then it pops onto screen 2 after that barrier, though as it reads it at the bottom of the screen for screen 2 the mouse jumps down to the bottom

 

Just something to consider when thinking about how to set up the monitors

Ewwww - maybe I should sell that 1080p 165 hz monitor I have when I get the new one and just keep it the same layout as currently that way it isn't weird.

A few posts on reddit i seen suggested littlebigmouse or cursr to fix this issue, havent had a chance to check them out yet so not sure how/how well they work

 

Ive been looking at super cheap 1440p 27inch monitors also, though i think ill just put up with it for a while, i went from my 2nd screen being 24 inch to 27 inch and i really only use it for youtube while doing other things, discord, or discord livestreams while dnding, so even though tis annoying, the 27inch is an upgrade (was my old primary monitor) and ill take advantage of that for now

Perhaps I will just con my buddy into trading me monitors - his wife won't let him buy a new GPU and he only has a 2080 with a 1440p monitor

I've been using multiple monitors of various resolutions and sizes for many, many years so moving the cursor between them is just something I've become accustomed to. I also suggest LittleBigMouse if its an issue.. or just ditch the old 1080p stuff.

Woah! Now this is cool! I've never seen a tool that takes DPI into account.
