Dual Monitor Arm

Hi,

I've been looking around at dual LCD arms for 2 23" screens. There appear to be 2 main types - the type that clamp onto the desk, and the type with a "boomerang" shaped stand for the desk.

Does anyone know which is better stability wise? I would prefer the type that clamps onto the desk, but I'm not sure if this would be as stable? Any thoughts?

I have one of the generic clamp on desk dual mounts, £30. It is very sturdy. Holding 2 x 23".

Prefer the clamped look as you free up more desk space.

Thanks for that, exactly my reasoning also. Would you mind posting up some pictures of it in situ?

Sure:

Can you make the screens touch bezels? I'd only be interested in getting one if they have to ability to reduce the gap between them to as little as possible - without having to spend £100s!

The bezels are touching - it would look cleaner if both monitors were the same model.

Thanks very much, I think I'll probably want one screen head on and the other at 45°
