Unker need a multi monitor setup. Maybe 3 to 4 monitors. How to stack the thing in a 2 x 2 arrangement? Any recommendations.

Also what GPU suitable for 4 monitors? Unker don't need gaming.

Any graphics card that has 4 outputs would work

Get a loctek monitor mount for your setup

2x2 arrangement? Maybe you could try using VESA mounting? Any gpu would be ok as long as you make sure that it has enough ports for your 3-4 monitors

Almost all GPU will support up to 3 monitors with no problems.
However, there may be limitations with supporting up to 4.
need to check GPU manufacturer website

Think 4 23" will do fine.

I have 2 27" and it gives me a sore neck and shoulder because of the angles. The 2 23" in my office are much better ergonomically for me.

Thanks for the tip.

What kind of mount should i get? I think this is the part i am most unfamiliar with. All the different mountings. Some seems to stick to tables, some stick to walls?

House using Loctek. Office has ergohuman.

Loctek one just screw on to the table. Seems stable enough for one monitor each stand (I bought single arm stand and added another one later). Haven't tried the multiple arms per stand, so can't comment.

The ergohuman one requires a huge hole to be drilled into the desk. Has two arms for two monitors. Think can add on more arms if you want 4 monitors.

You don’t need a GPU with 4 outputs as DP supports daisy chaining. I use a 5700 XT - 2 DP outputs to 6 x 24” screens (so 3 per DP). Of course bandwidth is limited and I’m only running 1080p 60Hz as not for gaming

The stand is free standing or screwed into desk (mine is screwed in)

Got it from these guys :

29" is widescreen

you have to consider vertical height of stacking 2 screen.
need to toggle up/down cause neck pain

Now I am considering 1 ultra widescreen + my existing normal 23".

Just now went to Digital.Mall, not many choices. Mostly 34" only. Got this Gigabyte 34", 144Hz, but expensive. RM 2099.
How do you arrange your monitor? 27 on top, 29 at bottom?

side by side.
if you have too tall screen very hard to utilize the upper and lower part of the screen.

So it's consider 3 screens? 29 (Ultrawide?) + 1 wide screen (27")?

i see, but my desk not that long...don't think can put 27"+29" side by side. Btw, i assume your 29" is thinner than your 27" (height)? Or can they match the size of the height? Otherwise, it would be awkward.

My 2010 antique HP laptop can 'konek' to 2 external monitor + laptop monitor.

But after i gotten myself a 29" ultrawide monitor, it is all i need.

It can display 3 windows comfortably wide, so no need multiple monitors dy
