Wall mount guidance request.

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

Thank you for the input, at least I know how to go about fixing the issue if I return to that desktop stand.

 

I don't think the height would be a huge issue as I've never adjusted the height of the current stand since I had it so I believe I would be using the same height or slightly higher. Would you recommend getting a flexible wall mount for the main monitor and two flat wall mounts for the side monitors to make it closer to the wall? I wouldn't want it to be far off the wall and not in line with the main centre monitor.

 

The one you linked with the arm can lay pretty flat against the wall then folder but is good if you need to tilt the monitors on angles or move them around, since the center monitor is different having either a height adjustable arm or wall mount would probably be best to let you do fine tuning of where the monitors sit

Greetings everyone,

 

I purchased myself 2* http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C99MUHQ and 1* http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C144AYK in 2014 and also got myself a stand to hold all 3 of them on, the issue with the stand is that it would never hold the monitors on line with each other, the centre piece was always a few centimetres higher than the two side monitors and it annoyed me ever since I noticed it. I recently moved and decided I would like to setup my monitors on my wall but the issue is, I have 3 monitors and a corner desk.

 

My desk isn't currently in its resting place as I need access to the plug socket behind the desk but once I have my extension I will be able to push it into the corner correctly.

 

Here is an image of my desk and current monitor stand: http://puu.sh/mhuT3/8287d8f1b1.jpg 

 

I would like for the side monitors to be flat on the wall with the main monitor diagonal evenly between. What would my best option be for the wall mounts at a reasonable price (in England). I have seen items such as: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-TVB1120-Cantilever-Monitor-Bracket/dp/B00PEQNZPM which seem awkward be maybe perfect for what I need.

Well from the looks of things the VESA mounts on those two monitor aren't the same height or location as the center one which is why you would be having that issue. If you made an adapter plate to shift the monitor up or down slightly as needed that would solve the problem. 

 

You can also use three independent mounts as those one you linked to mount and move around the three monitors but those don't allow for height adjust.
