New tri-monitor desk mount installed

I have been looking around for some time now to mount my monitors. I've seen various products in person and online and I settled on the Inland 05328-L. Claims to support 3 monitors from 13" up to 27".

I read reviews on folks mentioning they mounted their 27" screens, but had no room for play so the monitors had to go straight across - they couldn't angle the side monitors in at all.

Cons:

  1. I figured with my 3 24" ASUS VE248H monitors, I'd get some wiggle room to swing the side monitors in some.....sadly, that's not the case. I get almost no play with the side monitors to angle them in (they might have a 3-5 degree angle on them, but you can't really tell when sitting at the desk).
  2. Also, there is an ever so slight sag on the side monitors (it's almost non-existent, but it is there) that keeps the bezels from being flush with the middle monitor, but it's not noticeable when sitting at the desk unless I lean left or right, so it's not really an issue.
  3. My tower is on the floor to the left of the desk, my DVI cable that I use for my left screen isn't long enough to run up the post and back to the left screen - so there is a cable hanging below the left monitor and the power cords aren't long enough so those cables hang under the right monitor and center monitor. I suppose this is something kind of out of my control unless I buy some longer cables. This isn't a con against the monitor stand, just a slight irritation.

Pros:

  1. A lot of open desk space now. The bulky monitor bases aren't taking up 1/3 of my desk space.
  2. Monitors sit higher so they provide a better viewing field and just feels more natural to look at them when higher up.
  3. Installation was easy. It would have been really easy if my desk didn't weigh a lot and could have been moved from the wall to get everything installed.

If anyone has 3 monitors for 2D Surround (Nvidia) or Eyefinity (AMD) and you're monitors (full width, this includes the bezel) don't exceed 22.4 inches (this is the width of my monitors), you're golden. This would be a good item if you wanted to mount the monitors.

I did look at a lot of wall mounts, but in the end, I didn't want to have to drill holes in the wall and then have to worry about filling them should we move or rearrange furniture. This meant a desk mount would be ideal and there you have it. Here's the end result:
