I'm using a laptop with 2 monitors for a 3-screen setup. Can the shelf/monitors be adjusted so the laptop is on the shelf with the monitors above?

No the shelves are set at ~4 inches and ~10 inches below the bottom of my 24 inch monitors with the monitors at the top position. I don't believe there is room for a laptop without being in the way of the 2 monitors.

The tension can be adjusted but I don't thin high enough for the lapto screen to be used. I had to have someone who set these up for a living come do mine.

There would be nothing to secure the laptop on either the shelf or the keyboard shelf. Depending on the size of your monitors and your laptop, if you put it on the shelf shown in the picture your laptop monitor will overlap the others. You could put the laptop on the keyboard shelf if you didn't mind typing on your laptop's keyboard.

There are actually two shelves on this particular model - one designed for a keyboard and one for other items like a calculator, pen holder, etc... The keyboard shelf hangs lower and closer to the user and could possible accommodate an open laptop, but I think it would be a goofy configuration. You would have two raised monitors side by side and a laptop monitor in the middle, and lower, between them. I'm not feeling it as a logical solution. The other shelf is too high and the laptop screen would partially block the view on the two other monitors. The company has several types of stands though, and I bet they have a solution for this.

That setting is not suggested, might be best just to get an additional single arm to hold the laptop or monitor.

For me using the top shelf puts my line of sight at the top 1/3 of the monitor screen when using no height adjustment. I don't think anyone besides a young child would have a problem with it being too tall.

No, you would need to remove the laptop first... each side has to be independently adjusted so you'd need to have your laptop off the stand to make the adjustment.

The shelves adjust to different heights. I use two rows for cds. The rest are dvds but if you have books the same size as a DVD I don't see why not.

Yes, I have two 27" monitors on mine. It's tight, but they fit at an angle.

You can adjust the height of each monitor bar and IME there's enough space to do some interesting things like that. Assuming the horizontals are all going to be on the same bar, it should be safe.

It depends on the size of the monitors on the top. The bottom rail can be adjusted on the center pole but if it is too high, the top monitors will overlap. The stand is really sturdy (and heavy) but is built well. There is a bold that you can screw in from the bottom to secure it if you are concerned about the weight. It actually bows the wooden desk I have with the weight of the monitors.

can you adjust the center post up and down? I do not care if the monitors stay at the same level, I might want to lower the monitors to about 4 inches off the desk or higher when i rotate the monitors vertically

YES they can... I have 2 24inch monitors mounted under the top of my hutch. One side is a bit lower than the other to clearThe shelves on the hutch. Works great...

Not without buying a separate attachment for your monitor. There will be insufficient clearance between the mounted monitor and the keyboard shelf to allow for opening a laptop without the laptop screen partially blocking the monitor screen.

No problem whatsoever. You'll have plenty of room to angle them any way you would like. My initial setup with this stand was three 21" monitors (all 1920x1080) on the bottom three posts along with one 21" monitor & two laptops taking up the three top spots (using two VESA laptop mounts). While 3 21" monitors BARELY fit (and no angle), they did fit (they were Asus IPS's). Currently I'm running a 27" on the lower center post with a 21" on each side (obviously all mounted vertically, ie 1080x1920), as well as two 21" up top (horizontally mounted).

Yes, the is the ability to adjust the monitors both horizontally and vertically. The vertical "tilt" is probably around 15 degrees or so, which seems more than adequate. Having a second monitor above the lower does not seem to be an issue. I tilt the upper monitors downwards a bit and have no problems. I have 2 of these units due to limited horizontal footprint of my computer desk, so 4 27 in monitors.

That won't happen in every case. It will depend on the monitor configuration (size, mounting type, etc.). If you have three large monitors, about 24", you will not be able to get them to mount flush to one another unless they are in a very flat configuration. Smaller monitors will give you more flexibility in terms of their placement.

No. There is two arms each with a fixed center position and two adjustable outside monitors made to stack 3 monitors above 3 monitors. You can do what I did and use 3 on top and two on the bottom ( using only the 2 outside mounts pushed together )

Absolutely! I've got a 24" with mine.. If you go larger than 24 the 2 bars that go up to the upper shelves will block part though... Also if you're using the monitor with a laptop I'd suggest getting an arm, I had to for room... But if you're using a tower pc on the lower shelf you're fine :-) any other questions feel free to ask!

Yes, I currently have 2 monitors about that size on the top shelf. They are tilted in a hair but very stable and no weight issues. Makes so much remaining desk space available.

The base cannot be adjusted enough to allow a monitor to stand on it. In fact, when I opened my laptop on the shelf it covered up the monitor in it's clamp. There is also a weight limit, which I exceeded in the dual monitor station (plus laptop). When you exceed the weight limit the monitor and keyboard walk down the poll. If you have the right weight, it is fairly easy to raise and lower everything between a sitting and standing position.
