One advantage of Secretlab Magnus desks is their modular construction. CompatibleSecretlab accessoriesinclude magnetic desk mats and RGB lighting strips, which can add more style and functionality without threatening cable management. Secretlab is now introducing theMagnus Vertical Monitor Standfor the most demanding gamers and workers. By default, the stand connects to two included arms, but holds up to four displays with separately purchased add-ons. The Vertical Monitor Stand is available for pre-order on Secretlab’s website.
Secretlab Magnus Vertical Monitor Stand
The Magnus Vertical Monitor Stand transforms Secretlab Magnus desks into the ultimate gaming setup or workstation. The stand easily slots into Magnus cable tray slots without blocking the desk’s rear cover. Once installed, owners can stack two up to 32-inch monitors vertically or in side-by-side orientations. With additional monitor arms available for purchase, the stand can safely hold four 17 lb displays. Gamers and workers will enjoy an incredible range of motion, with generous tilt, swivel, and height adjustment ranges.
Why Does Anyone Need Four Monitors?
Some buyers may wonder about the advantages of having so many monitors on a desk. While most of us are content with one or two displays, four monitors open up a world of possibilities. Streamers can enhance productions with screens devoted to chat windows, broadcast tools, and games. In office settings, workers completing difficult projects can position applications in a sensible orientation. Flight simulator fans can turn desks intosim cockpitsby showing instrument panels on different screens. The Magnus Vertical Monitor Stand accommodates unorthodox setups in any scenario.
Magnus desks boast incredible durability and generous weight capacities. It’s not surprising that Secretlab’s latest vertical stand and monitor arms are well reinforced. Buyers will find both components comprised of aluminum. Each arm supports a monitor up to 32 inches in size, weighing a maximum of 17.5 lbs. For larger displays, Secretlab sells aHeavy-Duty Magnus Monitor Armwith a 35-lb weight capacity.Ultra-wide monitorsare also an option, but may restrict how many screens can be stacked together.
Secretlab’s Vertical Monitor Stand can be installed on Magnus desks in minutes. With the cable tray already prepared for the stand, the process is as simple as tightening a few screws. Then, owners securely attach up to four monitor arms without limiting the range of motion of each screen. The system is VESA MIS-D compatible and works with recessed mounting holes, so few monitors are excluded.
The Vertical Monitor Stand must handle the weight of multiple monitors. Even so, it’s the Magnus monitor arm that fastens to the back of displays. Not new to the market, the arms sold with the stand use tensile spring mechanisms, enabling low-effort adjustments. Integrated cable channels preserve the tidy cable routing on Magnus desks.
Developing amonitor standthat can swivel and rotate four screens is no easy feat. To create the most seamless setups, each screen can be set immediately next to an adjacent monitor. In a three-monitor configuration, the stand also allows one screen to be positioned in portrait mode. Monitor arms save tremendous space ongaming desksby raising screens off surfaces. Secretlab’s system enables four monitors to hover above desks with a height adjustment range of 11.6 inches. When combined with the height-adjustableMagnus Prodesk, monitors instantly adapt to sitting or standing workers.
Not all Secretlab add-ons are usable outside of the manufacturer’s ecosystem. We reviewed theTitan Evo Chairand praised its ergonomics, build quality, and customization. The Magnus and Magnus Pro desks have done nothing to spoil the company’s reputation. Still, Secretlab faces intense competition from more affordablebudget desks. The Magnus Vertical Monitor Stand does work with many of these alternatives. Any desktop between .4 and 1.95 inches thick should accept the stand. However, the finished look likely won’t be as cohesive as when using a Secretlab desk.
