Duronic DM653 3 Monitor Arm | Triple Monitor Arm for Desktop Gas Hinged | VESA 75 100 | Independently Height Adjustable Screens | Rotatable Tilt Swivel | Chrome

Initially I was a bit skeptical if this product was for me before buying as my center monitor was peferectly in the corner before but decided to try it anyway.My skepticism was for 3 reasons . 1) I have a corner desk . 2) desk is against the wall and the corner part is solid in that area so can't put the clamp there 3) my monitors are 24 inch.The dm653 comes with 3 gas spring arms and was pleasantly surprised to find an optional bracket to mount the centre monitor directly to the pole . In the end I opted to use the direct mount that was included in the box otherwise given the depth of my desk it would be too close to my face and the other two wouldn't line up how I need them to but I may use the the third arm in the future if I get a bigger desk. - was worth the extra 20 pounds comapred to the dm5xx with only two gas arms to have the option to play with.Becuase the monitors are 24 inch I needed to bend the arms back to shorten the length in order to have the screens sit flush side by side which was a bit of a concern at first becuase my desk is against the wall and I didn't like the idea of moving my desk forward to allow for the bend back. Luckily I have a windowsill behind my desk so after a bit of jigging I was able to use the clearance of the windowsill to make it fit. It did take a bit of jigging and head scratching to get my monitors in a comfortable position because I couldn't mount in or near the corner but with the range given from the arms I am now really happy with my set up .In typical male fashion I didn't use the instructions to assemble except for adjusting the gas spring part. I found it quite self explanatory so that was Good.It was clear to me that this would work best with 27 inch monitors if I didn't have the clearance of the windowsill becuase of the full length of the arms . Meaning I wouldn't have had to bend them back in order to have them sit nicely flush together and iwouldnt have to move my desk forward if the clearance wasn't there behind my desk .Would reccomed having a sturdy solid wood desk due to the stress of the weight this must put on the desk .All in all it took a bit of time and fine tuning to meet my requirements but really pleased with the end result and flexibility I now have . Gas spring arms stay where I set them after fine tuning the tension and arms have stayed in the same position since I set it all up 3 days ago . ( haven't come back to find the gas arms have moved the monitors upwards or downwardsand no floppyness.My only dislike is that if I move one arm I have to hold the other to prevent it from moving with it. I have tightened the centre bit that goes on the pole but it still moves slightly if I don't hold one arm when adjusting the others position . Reccomend getting everything in position before tightening each of the arm parts.One final thing to add , the direct pole mount has a bit of a length protruding from it rather than just a flat mount directly against the pole ( around 2-3cm at a guess ) so I could twist this around and make the centre monitor more central to the corner of the desk with the extra few centimetre extension off the pole . All in all good product just have a think about preferred positioning before buying but I'm sure you can make it fit to you requirements one way or another. It has certainly created more space for me to work at my desk.Hope this helps , cheers.

As someone who went into this blind beyond the thought of 'I'd have a lot more desk space if I replaced 3 of these default monitor stands with one small clamp in the midde,' I wasn't expecting to spend 2.5 hours from opening the box to finally getting 3 monitors onto the arm and in a semi-functional state. Having had it setup for a few days for my two 27 inch 1440p ~4.4kg and one 24 inch 1080p ~2.7kg monitor, and having adjusted each bolt to my liking every day, I'm now happy with the end result but there are definitely things that would have helped to have considered before starting assembly.First of all, basic concerns. Yes, it feels very sturdy. The monitors stay exactly in place, provided you follow the instructions and adjust each of the 3 bolts for each monitor as you need. You also have a considerable degree of freedom in terms of how high/low the monitors go, tilting upwards or downards or whether you want them concave or flat or adjacent to each other with no gap or not. This is because each of the side monitors has one gas-powered and one normal arm, either of which you can adjust the angle of and then the final bolt for tilting/swivelling the monitor. The middle monitor, you get a choice of having one gas powered arm or simply clamping it onto the middle pole. The gas arm adds flexibility in placement but puts the monitor closer to you because there is now an arm between the middle monitor and the clamp at the back of your desk.This brings me to the list of things worth considering before purchasing:1) Viewing distance. If you previously had your monitors as far back as possible on your desks, this will undoubtedly reduce that viewing distance. The middle monitor, set far away as possible will be the distance to the back of your desk minus a few inches for the clamp attaching to the main vertical pole, then minus another few inches for the clamp that attaches the middle monitor to the pole. So at maximum, your viewing distance to your middle monitor becomes your desk depth - ~13cm whereas before it may have been desk depth - ~5cm depending on your stand. If you're using e.g 27 inch monitors at 1440p that may become uncomfortably close unless you have a considerably deep desk.2) The underside of your desk. My desk is constructed through two large halves bolted together through a metal plate underneath the middle so I had to adjust the positioning somewhat.So in short, as long as you've considered viewing distance, clamp placement, your desk's weight capacity and have 3 monitors that fit the specs i.e <5kg and <=27" then this should be all you need at probably the most reasonable price you'll get. You'll free up a lot of desk real estate and having floating monitors frankly just looks cooler too. Just expect to spend 1-2 hours (add another if you're prone to dropping allen keys and screwdrivers like me) until you get it fully how you want exactly.

This is a great product, and holds the 3 24" monitors I have very well.I have to reiterate what other people have said about the up/down tilt adjustment bolt on each arm. The heavier the monitor, the tighter you have to make the bolt. To support my 24" monitors the bolt is very very tight. If I tilt the monitors more than a few times it starts to sag, and I have to re-tighten the bold again.Another caveat is when you adjust or move one of the monitors, due to the weight on all the arms, the whole supported weight can move about. This makes it difficult to set-up the monitors in perfect alignment. The supporting bars also sag slightly when there is weight on them. They are in no way in danger of breaking, it just takes away from the overall look of the product.And finally, one suggestion I would have for Duronic. The bolts used for the caps that are used to cover the arm joints could be better designed to fully tighten each joint. This would prevent the sag in the arm joins I was talking about earlier.Overall I am very happy with this product and would buy again due to its multiple configurations ability an sturdiness.

The build quality of the stand is excellent and all tools needed to complete the assembly are provided. However some of the cable management clips are too small for the required cables at the end of the arms. I have a 27" monitor on the center mount and a pair of 24" lightweight monitors on the left & right arms. Any movement on the desk, sends the outer monitors into bob-up-and-down cycle. This can be quite distracting, as you can easily notice it out of your periphery view.
