Title: Desktop dual monitor stand
Post by: keyboardlover on Sun, 13 March 2011, 11:16:26

Looking to get something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Planar-997-5253-00-Monitor-Stand-Black/dp/B0013TZRUA (http://www.amazon.com/Planar-997-5253-00-Monitor-Stand-Black/dp/B0013TZRUA)

Is that one any good? What do you recommend?

I have 2 Dell U2211H's.

If I were in your shoes I'd probably get the cheapest thing which could be this, at monoprice (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082808&p_id=5560&seq=1&format=2).

I'd prefer going in the opposite direction, though I might not remember correctly.
If I do remember correctly, those are somewhat costly IPS monitors, I'd spend a little more money to make sure the stand won't fail and risk damaging them.

If the stand is in fact solidly built then you question how solid the desk is. You definitely wouldn't want to mount this thing onto particle board.

how much do the u2211's you have weigh?  If they are within the limit of the mono price posted it should be just fine, mono price makes solid stuff for the most part.

Approx. 6.45kg (14.22lbs) each.

The thing that I like about the one I posted though is that it has a platform so it looks more sturdy.

Max Weight:  15kg (33lbs)
VESA:  75x75mm and 100x100mm
Display Size:  10" to 23"*

you are within range albeit at close to the top of the range with both monitors on it but you should be fine.
