Malthus101 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm not expecting a huge response to this question but.... Short of buying a triple monitor stand for my 3 monitors, any creative ideas on what I could use instead to raise them up? I need to see them clearly but my laptop screens are in the way! Something useful like a box with a drawer in it might be best or something attractive like a glass brick. I checked out IKEA but saw nothing useful. A pile of books or magazines probably a bit messy and hard to get a uniform height! Ideas on a postcard please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ones for sitting on I assume? I read an old thread from 2009 and someone mentioned glass bricks at Index or Home Pro. I might have to try those places too! Thanks.

jbrain Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You could hang them from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Had this custom done. Only one monitor for 'mua, but get some of those squat stools at a market to elevate the screens behind the notebook and you'll be good to go all wall street on your arse..

JakeBKK Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 how about a small alloy rod? any hardware store should have them. or use some steel water pipe. hook the screen mount with a U hook up.. i ilke my keyboard at a 80 cm height and the screens at around 140 cm so you don't have to look up or down.

Malthus101 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Apologies for the multiple posts above.. kept getting time-outs - didn't realize anything got posted. Can the screens be titlted inwards on that? i.e. rather than being in a straight line, can the 2 at the outside be angled inwards? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the outer screens are tilted inwards.. tilt is adjustable but you can't have them completely straight (always some tilt).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malthus101 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) In the end, I bought 3 glass bricks from Home Index, 50 baht each! The monitors are now sufficiently raised and I only shelled out £3. Edited August 9, 2013 by Malthus101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
