Posted this to reddit some time back, reposting here because I want to contribute some content and help lemmy gain popularity.
I hope that in a few weeks I will be posting an updated version of the setup with the laptop replaced by a third monitor and a few other modifications.
Yup, aligning the monitors became my obsession after completing this setup. Now I actually have the right monitor rotated to vertical position. This is both more comfortable for me and it makes little misalignments less visible so I don't have to adjust it all the time.
which type of mount do you use for your laptop? i have been wanting to get something to hold
my laptop like that for better cooling, but dunno what to get.
It's pretty much just a metal plate with some holes, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
For me, it was surprisingly hard to find one with the correct dimensions and color (white). After quite a lot of searching I just bought the only one I found matching the criteria. It was called "PureMounts PM-ADAPT-A" on Amazon. It attaches to the monitor arm through a VESA mount.
I bought it under a "HAKNER" brand but I'm afraid this won't really help you because they just seem to be a Polish importer. When I posted this to reddit, someone actually found this: Jarvis Single Monitor Arm. I can't vouch for this because it's not where I bought it, but from the photos it looks identically, to the smallest detail.
