I'm running dual 22" screens at home but they take up too much room on my desk, so I'm hoping to get some stands to put them up and out of the way.

I'm looking at either these or these from Computer Dynamics - anyone have these, or can recommend anything else?

Your links aren't working for me, but I use an Ergotron LX dual set up. They are brilliant.. but very pricey. They've gone up a bit since I bough mine too it would seem. Ascent currently have them listed at $774.

Try now Phil I've updated those links.

That Ergotron product you posted looks very cool, alittle too pricey for me however.

I've got one of the arms listed in you first link, it works well for my 20" screen (I wanted to reclaim the space under the desk) ... however I do use it more in a static manner, rather than swinging it about. That may be due to having the bolts quite tight - YMMV.

Down to $680ish maybe someone at Ascent reads GZ? Also damn you now I want one.

That's more in-line with what I paid. You do get what you pay for with Ergotron, they really are a fabulously well designed, top quality unit. I highly recommend them.

They are expensive but I consider it a very good investment given that I spend most days using it.

Not sure why but the Computer Dynamics site changes its links everytime I post. Very frustrating.

Go to their site, on the left hand menu click LCD Monitor Arms & Brackets, and I'm looking at either of the two top options.

I'm looking very favourable at the first option. RRP is $99.

I ended up going with the LCD-MA001 from Computer Dynamics for my home setup:

Great solid stands, they are a lot bigger than they seem to appear in the photos. Much better having my monitors up high.

Looking good. I see why you needed them now - you need a bigger desk!
