Looking for a stand to hold my 3x 24" monitors. BigHammer sourced me the Aavara TS743, however I'd like the outer screens to be at more of an angle in - the Aavara pretty much has them completely flat, all in a line.

Suggestions anyone?

No suggestion. But you are a show off, sir!

Actually, it swivels 20 degrees according to that page. Isn't that enough?

They were alittle generous with the 20 degree swivel. Works well if you have 3x 22"s. The 24s are too wide to swivel at all.

When I was looking for a 3x arm for mine, the only ones I could dig up are $1200+

I am currently using 3x single arm mounts which I got off trademe for $100 each.

Which is pretty much why nate asked me to find a supplier of the Aavara TS743 bracket. The Ergotron stands are quite a bit more expensive (although generally great quality). The distributor that carries Aavara had to special order the TS743 for me as they hadn't sold them before.

The real reason we're having problems with this is that nate is the only one in Auckland with 3 24" monitors that doesn't have government or corporate funding to pay for the stands! ;-)

Would be good to know what weight it can hold on each arm before it starts to bow/bend...

Pricing getting up there. Nearly the price of three 24" monitors! Looks the part though.

Yea but its almost half price of any other real alternative... My 24" monitors were all $500+ so with that in mind I could justify it...

Reality is thought it wont offer anything over my current setup with three individual arms

Yes :( I only have 2x 22" either side of a 24"

this is a slap in the face!
