Now, some of these monitor array firms will argue that they provide special software and support for you to manage your multiple monitors. That may be true, but keep in mind that you can use UltraMon ($39.95) that will do the exact same thing.

I was able to buy three of these stands for a total of $450 at Buy.com with free shipping. All total, my current monitor array (stands & monitors) will set me back $2,150. In comparison, if you bought the a similar setup from Cinemassive it would cost you $5,949 and $5,949 at Digital Tigers at the time of this post. When you consider that my monitors will be better (use less energy) and are of higher quality and use more flexible stands, you can see why I’ve decided to build my monitor array separately. Only an idiot would pay that much more for a plug and play solution.
