I have some extra 2 inch "egg crate" style acoustic foam tiles. I threw one tile under each monitor and it works. Any reason I need this instead?

I am not an acoustic scientist but if you say "it works" then I think you may have your answer. I'm sure that there could be a technical difference considering that the surface of egg shape is different than the flat even surface of the Auralex but it may or may not be audible to you and that's what really matters. I have the basic Auralex and they do work well and a friend has the higher end versions and they are even better but more expensive.

I had both. The acoustic foam titles are not as study as these. As far sound quality, I didn't notice a huge difference. These do allow the speakers to be angled which was key for me.

The Auralex MoPAD pads are very firm, and they have an angle to them that you can choose to use or not use. For me, the firmness supports my monitor speakers very well, and the angle helps me point the monitors at my seating position.

None at all. I like the Mopad's ability to either "angle up or angle down" the speakers front face to my listening area.

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

I don't know, but it sounds like a good idea that should work. I will say that I did practice on an extra tile, and the more I practiced, the better I got. The problem for me was not so much getting the right color, but getting it to flow into the chipped spots so as to get a good match with the tile's surface.

To answer your question, i foamed out one side panel, the top and bottom panels, rear panel and even had extra for some edges and harddrive bays.My other side panel is the window facing away from me and i did not put any padding on it. Helped reduce my noise. You can easily cut it to fit and use how ever much you desire. You want quiet fans first to begin with so buy quality, consider using this foam as a finisher for the interior and reduce it a few decibles further.

Gary,It is beyond me why you would buy something without verifying that it fit your needs first, but within a few seconds on Google I found several pieces of information, including some official from HP stating that the VESA Mounting system is not yet available for this monitor.... but there are some third party ones that may work. See reference below.http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Audio-Video-Monitors/VESA-Mounting-a-2711x/td-p/450805Thanks,Scott

I've had mine for a few months now and am pleased with it. Just know that your two monitors will act as one single monitor. It does not bother me and have learned,to work with it.

There are mounting holes on the back of LCD's which are used for wall or desk supports (as opposed to the simple stand that attaches to the LCD). You could just fabricate your speaker brackets to utilize those existing holes.

All this does is put 2 monitors where there was one. The PC does not know that 2 monitors are attached. So you can't 'extend' your desktop from one to another, you just show the same thing on both.

I have a rosewood desk that I use in my studio and I have 6, 27 inch monitors on that desk. I have moved the monitors a few times to different locations on the desk with no issues.

I could see this working provided a couple of conditions were met, but I would not recommended this with the quad monitor stand. The first condition is that the mounting surface has a square edge. Make sure your desk's mounting edge is not beveled or slopes down to a point edge. The second condition is if you are going to mount this to glass you should attach something solid below the mounting surface between the fastening plates and the glass. You can use a piece of 1/2" acrylic if you want to maintain the transparent look. Mine is mounted on the edge of a 3/4" wood desk and is very solid.

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

Great question. Ironically today I got back home and didn't have the mousepad out under it yet since I was lazy and it worked on my desk. So it should work unless the surface doesn't allow for it.

I doubt it. I used to add a 2nd & 3rd monitor. You might contact Diamond to confirm.

We ran WOW on the computer and the sound in fact came out of the monitor so it seems to support two channel embedded sound at least. I have no way of testing it beyond that.

As others have said, using angled cables would definitely solve the problem if the ports were to be covered. However, I have an EVGA 670FTW on the first one, and it sticks over the edge of the motherboard by about 1.25 inches.

This is not the correct solution for that type of problem. If you are trying to soundproof one existing wall then there are many other solutions sandwiching drywall or using mountable sound reduction panels. If you are considering making a sort of open box or actual standing partition to help with some small noise reduction, then something like foam insulation boards (google generator hush box) would be much more practical.

I suppose if you got two sets, attached magnates on the side with out them, but that would be a pain. Or perhaps do some measuring,then go to a hardware store and purchase an appropriate roll of screen. You can use (black) duct tape to attach it to the sides without the magnates. I use this process to fix holes in the screen. Put tape on both sides of the screen so that the tape sticks to its self.
