So your not running in surround i take it?? I would think if you running 3+1 surround you'd want the odd sized screen as the plus 1 screen overtop of the other 3. And if your not running in surround.. then tackle that problem first :P

Yeah I'm looking in to getting one. Have you got any in mind ? 

No I don't own one, only got one screen myself so i can't help you out. However NCIX made a video on screen stands yesterday and the brand they were reviewing was ergotech.
