I tend to mostly focus on the displays. The desk(s) follow from that... I currently have two 43" 4k displays (Philips BDM4350UC) next to each other. One directly in front of me, the other angled to the side. It's not working great - too much strain to use the right half of the side screen. What I'm curious to test: one 43" 4k screen in the the middle with an LG DualUp 18:16 screen to each side. Maybe I should just get two pivotable regular cheap 24-27" 16:9 displays and be done with it, a bit like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/aogog4/my_plp_setup/ https://old.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/aogog4/my_p...

That is exactly my plan for my future desk setup, I started from wanting a dualup, then found the monitor size that would be as close to flush in height as possible stacked side by side. A 43" display is the closest with a 0.39 cm difference in screen height, though I ended up getting a 42" LG OLED instead. My main hangups are finding a nice Monitor mount setup for them. Something like the following would be ideal, but I'm not sure if it'll fit with such a big main screen: https://eu.humanscale.com/userFiles/images/monitorarms/m10/m10_triple_image.jpg https://eu.humanscale.com/userFiles/images/monitorarms/m10/m...

That 3-monitor setup is exactly what I'm planning. I doubt I'll make much use of the side vertical monitors, but I have them so why not. After reading all the comments on this post I've realized I can build my own monitor mount system instead of buying some monitor arms. I think that'll make them more secure and less wiggly

  Another option I've looked into is mounting the monitors on a wall track, letting you adjust the standing desk and monitor height separately and without the instability. Something like this system with the walltrack kit, though I'm unsure if it'll work with the bigger tv/monitor sizes: https://www.ergomart.com/monitor-mounts/monitor-wall-mounts/multi-monitor/cmt2415-triple-monitor-arm https://www.ergomart.com/monitor-mounts/monitor-wall-mounts/...
