For the past few years I've been on a quest to find the perfect mount for my preferred triple-27-inch-monitor setup. The first was a cheap unit from a fly-by-night drop shipper, 'nuff said about that. The second carried the monitors on a massive cross-beam that worked well in and of itself, but the outboard monitors could not be slanted inward enough to avoid straining my unfortunately aging eyes. (The setup is fully six feet wide with all monitors flat to the wall.) The third had gas-charged arms, and was recommended by several tech sites. I have no idea what people see in gas-charged mounts. This one (also a VIVO) was finicky as heck to get positioned, you still have to tighten a bunch of screws HARD to get everything to stay in place, and the slightest bump to the desk makes it wobble to an almost dangerous degree and knocks the outboard monitors way out of alignment. So I was browsing the other day looking for ideas for a way out of my dilemma; a stand that (1) lets the left and right monitors tilt inward about 20 degrees so I'm not constantly craning my neck back and forth to see everything, and (2) would allow you to sneeze without one or more monitors dropping and/or tilting. I was growing discouraged. Then, in the middle of a thread on reddit, it was like a heavenly beacon of light sprang up to highlight a comment reading, simply, "The best triple-monitor mount is three single mounts." And so here we are. Vivo's mounts are nothing if not complete. You have your choice of clamp-on or through-hole mounts. There are plenty of fasteners, cable clips, and such to do just about anything you'd want to do. Instructions are simple and clear. The units are also quite sturdy; heavy-gauge steel with serious hex bolts at all the pivot points. It takes some doing to get the arm set the way you want it, but once in place and tight it does not move. A smack on the edge of my desk that made the previous gas-charged mount nearly bounce the outboard monitors' edges off the desktop just makes these wiggle about 1/8 inch for a couple seconds. The only thing I would change is to beef up the desk clamp, maybe with two side-by-side screws instead of the one, to prevent what little side-to-side motion they have. (This was the issue with the gas mount as well - it was simply too heavy for a single clamp.) Assembly was straightforward. As noted above, I used the edge clamps instead of through-hole, of which my desk has none. Getting the three monitors to sit side-by-side on their three stands was, as you might expect, rather more involved than positioning gas-sprung arms. I had a real problem at first with all three, owning to the limited range of motion of that jointed arm. The arm will not fold flat on itself, or even close to flat. No matter how I positioned it, I could not get the outboard monitors to sit up against the center one at the right angle and tilt. The center monitor also sat too far out over my desk for comfort. But, Vivo's apparent preference for using a limited number of robust parts came to my rescue. It turned out that I was able to remove the part of that jointed arm closest to the vertical tube on all three. It takes some muscle, but it can be done without breaking or stripping anything. With that limited center joint out of the picture, I was able to get everything positioned where I needed it to be. As a bonus, the center monitor sits even closer to the wall than it did with the gas-spring mount, putting it at just the right distance for me. Bottom line: Whomever posted that comment on reddit is a genius. This setup Just Works, due in no small part to Vivo's quality and modular design. And, as icing on the proverbial cake, the three stands together cost a little less than that gas-sprung octopus. Five stars.
