Not your ordinary mod

PCGamesHardware.com recently published a post on multi display mount systems featuring a review by Ibrin, WSGF Founder (Widescreengamingforum.com), “Ergotron Neo-Flex HD 7 DS100 Triple Monitor Stand Review at WSGF.”  

We highlighted Ibrin’s initial request for upgrade parts in our post, “Get your arms around this one,”  pointing to Ibrin’s Youtube review of his original solution. When we spoke with Ibrin last he was moving from 22″ to 24″ monitors and was looking to mod some new parts with his existing set-up.

No doubt about it. He’s got an engineer’s eye and heart for the challenge.

Here is his video review, but take a look at his post as well. It is extremely informative and covers the ins and outs of his experience, and his recommendations for the gamer community on getting displays off desks.

He says, “The freedom to make better use of your desk space is damn-near a liberating experience.”    

Ibrin mentions he wishes we made a Wall Mount product for those gamers with Surround Gaming rigs. Have no fear, the right people here at Ergotron are getting the message. The first step sometimes is just to ask.

Have a new product idea that will solve your set up challenges? Let us know.

Get your arms around this one

I’ve worked here at Ergotron for a lot of years and I am constantly amazed at how customers are positioning our products. They definitely get pretty creative when it comes to putting together a monitor configuration that best fits their needs.

Take Skip Clark (Ibrin), owner and founder of the Widescreen Gaming Forum. He wanted to have 3 LCD screens hovering over his desk but wanted everything mounted to the wall. He started with our Neo-Flex HD Wall Mount Swing Arm and the DS100 Triple-Monitor Desk Stand and then took his creativity from there.

He used our DS100 Triple monitor crossbar and attached it to the Neo-Flex HD Wall Mount swing arm. Although this not something we can suggest doing it sure looks like it is working out pretty good for Skip. Here’s his YouTube review of the installation:

Skip recently contacted us regarding upgrading his 22″ monitors to 24″ monitors. He was checking to see if we had a DS100 Quad with 55″ Crossbar that he could review. The Quad crossbar will hold the three 24″ monitors and Skip thinks he can hang it on the wall with the two Neo-Flex arms that he has. Ergotron does sell the Long Crossbar extender (55”) #97-447-200  and an Outboard Pole Clamps #60-443-200 will probably work for his needs.

I look forward to hearing more from Skip about how all this plays out.

How have you gotten creative with Ergotron?
