Can you use this arm for 2 monitors - one back against the other's back? I'm planning to use it for 2 persons sitting across each other.

I don't think so. The arms are attached to a central box on one side of the central pillar. You could certainly have one facing a bit in the other direction (I can't test how far with my setup) but not 180 degrees from each other.

Yes, one monitor would be on the right and one on the left of the main post though. But yes you could have one facing one direct and one facing the other. You wouldnt ever get them back to back per say.

Hello Michael,I think one need to play with the different viewing angles and see what works best. Sometimes I switch angles because of wanting to change my sitting position, other times, it depends on what application I'm actually using wit hthe product. As was mentioned already, a monitor mountign arm works wonders in finding that perfect viewing angle.- C.

it's set up for one. Depending on the the weight of your screens. You might get away with two. It is the sturdiest arm I've every seen.

Sure, the mount will allow two monitors to butt to one another, if you get the correct monitors. In my configuration, I need the gap to allow the top monitor to tilt down because of the viewing angle.

You could. Depending how heavy the monitor is the base is weighted enough to hold just. But unless you are planning to get one later, I'd opt for getting a stand that supports only one monitor. You can't remove one of the arms.

Yes you can. In fact, I have one set up just like this using a mounting arm for the monitor. This rig has lots of attachment points for just about any accessory you can think of.

I purchased an identical monitor arm for my wife who is 5ft 2in. It works very well when she is seated. I tried it in a standing position and it's borderline. The center of the monitor mounting point is about an inch shy of 4ft with everything adjusted for maximum height. Don't know if that would be enough or not.

Yes, the individual mounts for each monitor can be removed just consider the length of the arm when using only two, you'll have the supporting arm sticking out empty on one side.

Sure can. That's exactly how I'm using it now. Just fold the arms into themselves. I've got a single 27" monitor mounted right now.

As long add you're using matched monitors it shouldn't be an issue. The mounts all rotate.

Why not just put monitors on the top two mount arms, and fold the bottom two arms back, out of the way? No modifications necessary.

Sure. The arms pivot on a center post and have about 225 degrees of usable motion. The size of the monitors limit the minimum angle that is usable. I have two 23" monitors attached at the very ends of the arms using about 160 degrees. That provides a pretty good viewing angle for both monitors.

They cannot be angled any more than the very few degrees that they are angled from each other (which is negligible; they're almost "flat"). This has turned out to be a bit of a problem. When my monitors were on my desk, I put one directly in front of me, and angled the second one (to the right of the first one) a good bit so I could easily see it with a slight head turn. With the ergotron set-up, what is directly in front of you are the monitor edges. This causes a problem because I need to shift my chair to the left in order to see the monitor on the left, and then have to twist my wrist in an awkward way to use my mouse (not good if you have carpal tunnel issues. I was going to ask the folks in our company's machine shop to bend the metal arms for me, but there is concern that might throw of the balance/weight system. So while I think the workfit station is ideal if you have only one monitor, I would not buy it again for dual monitor use.

The arms and monitor connectors are movable. I'm a programmer, so I sit on my butt all day. My top three monitors are angled down toward me, and my bottom three are at eye level so they aren't angled. The side arms are angled toward where I sit, so similar to a turret fashion as you would prefer. As a programmer, 6 monitors is a little overkill,.. but it's great bragging rights.

yes...you should be able to do that. I have used the arm in two configurations. on either side of my laptop and on top of each other.

I want to have 2 monitors. Could I purchase 2 sets of these and place them in the same room, would they interfere with each other? Thanks

Your intended setup is very similar to mine and it has worked fine. The center monitor will protrude much more than the side monitors, however, so you may consider purchasing a replacement middle mount that does not have the angle adjusters. It allows the center monitor to be mounted closer to the stand itself.
