Wall mounted monitors

mart1985 · 22 Feb 2023 at 11:06

I have 2x32" monitors and a single LG 27" monitor. They are currently side by side on their original stands, but this takes up a lot of desk space and I would like to mount them higher than they currently are. A lot of monitor arms appear to come out a fair way from the wall, but I would like to mount them closer to the wall whilst allowing some horizontal movement to tilt the outer monitors inward.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how best to set these up?

For reference, I run the two 32s off my work laptop and the LG off a gaming pc.

I'd recommend going with decent monitor arms and sitting flush to the wall instead.

I have used the Amazon Basics arm with 32" screens and it handles them fine. You might be able to fit them both on the dual version but will have more flexibility with 2 single arms.

Reason I recommend this over wall mounting is its easier to adjust without drilling more holes in the wall.

Thank you for the suggestion @Captain_Bosh That makes sense regarding the holes in the wall. Can the monitors sit almost flush against the pole/stand on the Amazon arm?

Not completely flush but about the same as most other adjustable wall mounts. Just have the stand sideways with monitor at the back of the desk.
