Bloomberg Professional Hardware / Display

[AvariceBespoke]

I've always wondered why no other companies (Apple etc) made beautiful looking multi-display set-ups like Bloomberg. I've acquired some newer 15/17" BB displays from ebay but have never been able to get my hands on some of these beautiful ones below.

Because, you can buy LCD stands for multiple monitors and pick the monitors you want. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...947&CatId=2465 Or for a little more money, how about: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...276&CatId=2465 Plus, with the dual stands, most will support at least 22" monitors. The market for dual 22" monitors, on a single stand is essentially zero. 99% of people who have a need/want for dual monitors are perfectly okay or actually prefer to have both monitors on their own stand. It's just unnecessary packaging, and the only people who would go out of there way to buy a pre-assembled dual monitor set up are business men who have dual monitors at work and have no idea how easy it is to have dual monitors at home.

Yes I agree. I've found that so many monitor stands are very rough on the eyes. I'd like to find a really nice stand that looks sharp with two apple displays

humanscale makes pretty nice monitor arms.

The key to having two displays look good side by side is to get a display with a very thin bezel.

Ergotron have some stuff that gets close.

The keyboards are, indeed, monumentally ****. And they get shittier with wear.

What, sticking the stickers on a regular one? If you have time (or more importantly the patience) - as I did once, sure.
