Triple Monitor Setup

[pi_irple]

I'm buying the Ben Q BL3200PT this friday. It's 32" WQHD which is the same pixel size as a 1080p 24 inch. I have a lot of desk space and I noticed how cheap I could get a 24" IPS monitor.

Would the screen size of 2 24" monitors in portrait form match the edges of the BL3200PT?

Specifically the Dell S2415H. I don't think that monitor has pivot however I could probably buy a VESA arm thingy.

Would this work and look nice?
Could Someone link me to a good VESA arm stand that would make this work?

The numbers for the 3200PT seem to be 2560x1440 - so your flanking monitors have to be 1440 in portrait mode.

Another place to start is with these numbers: 19” 1440×900 (16:10) vs 15.6” 1440×900 (16:10) vs 27” 2560×1440 (16:9)

I went the other way around and searched PLP setups that already existed.

Oh wow thank you so much, I was looking for something like that TVCalculator, I knew that would help. But I didn't know what to search in google. You also enlightened me on the definition PLP. Portrait Landscape Portrait. I thought it was rare to do something like that but I guess not. Solid sources.

Now is it possible to leave the BL3200PT on it's stand? I like the stand it's solid and manages cables very well and matches my desk and computer case. So I would just use a VESA arm for the 2 portrait displays.

Just want to say thank you again. Originallly I wanted to get the dell panels because they're IPS but now that I think about it the only reason I want extra monitors is so I can play games stretched out, so I can throw browsers and itunes off to another screen if I need, when I edit videos I can have extra room on the sides and because I have the desk space and it wont cost much to add it on and it looks nice.

I've decided to probably just roll with the ASUS VW199T-P. It's 1440x900 16:10 as you suggested. It's probably just a TN panel but the price is so low and they will be secondary monitors so can't complain too much. Only thing is they only have DVI-D and VGA inputs and the bezels look kinda thick, but in real life it's probably not too bad. My GPU has 3 Display ports an HDMI and a DVI-D. So I'm pretty sure I can use one DVI-D and then get an HDMI -> DVI-D wire or Display Port -> DVI-D and it would work.

I like ASUS as a brand and it's only $100 /ea monitor I could get it used for cheaper but I would like a fresh warranty. Just not to sure on what kind of VESA Arm to buy, I want something sturdy but not too expensive. I don't mind drilling into the wall either.

I have a Dell IPS U3011 which is a 30" - 2560x1200

Flanking it like bookends are the two Dell 2007 FP's at 1600x1200 in portrait.

I have no mounts they are all on the desktop on their own stands

My bezels run maybe 1.5" in total.

The hi-res high quality centre screen is for gaming, digital photography and 3D.

Controls, reference or manuals occupy the sides as needed.

I read a blog post a couple of years ago and had to have the setup, it's too bad
that I didn't save the post because now it has gone missing somehow disappeared
from the interwebs.
