Apple Cinema Display Mounts
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:54 am
Has anyone had experience converting Cinema Displays for VESA mounts or with mounting dual monitors one-above-the-other?
I’ve been using a 27” Apple Cinema Display for years and have been pleased with it. I know there are many better monitors out there, but I honestly have never found myself wishing for something better... either for DP or for video editing.
My wife has an identical Cinema Display she got from her work. She no longer uses it and her corporate IT told her she could just keep it, as I’m sure they depreciated it off their books years ago. Anyhow, I would like to try setting up dual monitors for DP. In my setup, they’d need to be arrayed vertically—one above the other.
I’ve been doing some research on adapting Cinema displays for VESA mounts and vertical monitor mounts. What I’ve found is several companies who make a knock-off of a VESA adapter that Apple used to make ranging from no-names for $20 up to $40 for one by Tether Tools, who makes really good gear for pro photo studios. Then there’s the stand: I found this one on Amazon that looks good to me: Tripp Lite Dual Monitor Mount Stand/Clamp, Vertical https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AWAY8E6/re ... ADbY5CDF35
So—is there any difference in the VESA adapters? Any other dual-vertical desktop mounts I should consider?
Thanks.
