What hardware drives those 6 monitors?
Click to expand...

nothing special, it isn't set up for gaming. I may replace with Vega if it ever comes out, or just leave it as is. its running everything with no issues, or crazy power draw.

Specs:

Corsair Crystal 460x RGB
6x Acer XF270HU
Corsair RM1000x
Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero
Ryzen 1700x
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gbx2 DDR 3000mhz (running at 2133)
Samsung 960 Evo 250gb
2x Powercolor Radeon RX570
Corsair H100i v2
Corsair M65
Corsair K95 RGB Platinum
3x VIVO 2 monitor stands (vertical)
APC 1500VA
 
I just bought another monitor stand from easymountlcd.com. I have their original one and wanted to add one above my three. The extension pole wouldn't fit on the mount I had. I emailed them and they explained that the mount was updated, so I bought the new one. I'm in the process of changing everything over.
 
A quarter of the way through changing up my desk/computer setup. Having a problem with the monitor mount. The right display is 1" higher than the other two. I'm not sure what's causing it but I sent them an email and hope to hear back. I tried every adjustment I can and it's not helping.
 
Received an email yesterday. They gave me a couple of things to check. I did some stuff before contacting them. I'll double check everything according to their instructions and see what the issue is or if I have a defective part.

Here is a picture showing the problem.

Did you check if your monitors are level both vertically and horizontally?

I get that issue too with my multimonitor rigs especially as some of my pole mounts can rotate to portrait so I keep a level at my desk to check when I move the monitors around.

Yes. I did everything they asked and the right display still is too high. I took everything apart and took some measurements. From the desk surface to the bottom of each arm varies by 3/4" (the right side is higher). There is not enough adjustment to overcome this. I sent the company more pictures and I'm waiting to hear back.

Got a Mount IT monitor arm for a custom desk I just made. Still using my dell U3011", but still looking for that perfect upgrade to come along.

What type of mount are you using? I've tried a lot of different mounts and the U3011 is just too heavy for arms-mount solutions, even when the panel weight is under the specifications.

This is my computer nook.

After seven years away from PC gaming (and losing my [H] login), I set this space up to catch up on all of the titles I've missed. Starting Witcher 3 today.

The screen is an Asus ROG Swift PG348Q mounted on an Ergotron MX arm. It's driven by a 7700K at 4.9 and a 1080ti Strix OC edition.

It can with a stand so the portable monitor and sit horizontally or vertically.

My wife has a laptop and an AIO and wants a desk, but we don't have the space with having 4 kids in the house.
 
Sony 43" X800D 4K

I'll set up a MUCH cleaner desk after I move. ;)

This is what happens when I get bored and have too much time and equipment on my hands:

nine_monitors, on Flickr

All the monitors are hooked up to my main workstation, the 2x2 on the left are also plugged into my work laptop for when I work from home, the 30" on the right is hooked up to my personal laptop as well. The M92z on the far right is used only in monitor mode.

I may finally have gone too far, even I haven't figured out what to do with this many monitors on 1 workstation.

Oh well, you never know your limits until you surpass them :)

Can you use the touch screen to zoom in on the large monitor (I assume those displays are cloned)? If not, what's the purpose of the touch screen.
the keyboard reminds me of the one that I had with my 386.

Wow, that pic's actually pretty outdated. Here's a newer photo.

As you can see, I'm no longer using an IBM Model M, not because I didn't like it, but because Model M15 split keyboards are rather rare and expensive. I needed a split keyboard for the setup you see now, though I'm still working out alternate placements and suitable mounting solutions.

First off, that's no ordinary touchscreen. It's a Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid (think 13HD touch with the bonus of Android tablet functionality and a beefy battery). In other words, it's a canvas for digital artwork, of the sort that most artists wish they could afford due to ridiculous Wacom price margins. Yes, it has capacitive multi-touch in addition to the typical Wacom EMR pen digitizer, so pinch-to-zoom is pretty trivial.

There's actually a secondary, non-art role that it fulfills from time to time because of the added touch functionality (most Cintiq models don't respond to finger input at all), and that's running Helios.

It's basically virtual control panel software pitched specifically at flight sim enthusiasts, and makes playing stuff like Falcon BMS or DCS a hell of a lot easier when you don't have to fumble around in a virtual cockpit. Ironically, though, I don't use it as much like that because it's impractical to use with an Oculus Rift on my face, and flight simming in VR is so much better than without it. TrackIR + monitor feels so damn unimmersive by comparison. Too bad Falcon BMS doesn't support VR in any real capacity right now, otherwise I'd be playing it a heck of a lot more.
