How do I plan a monitor desk setup before buying?

Start with the physical width and height of each monitor, then test desk width, desk depth, side-screen angles, and whether the screens sit side-by-side or stacked.

Does the setup builder support ultrawide and portrait monitors?

Yes. You can add ultrawide, super-ultrawide, 16:9, portable, and portrait displays, then adjust placement and angle in the desk view.

What desk dimensions matter most for multiple monitors?

Desk width controls whether the screens fit side by side. Desk depth controls viewing distance, keyboard space, monitor arms, and whether very large screens feel too close.

Desk layout planner

Build the monitor layout before you move the desk

Use the monitor desk setup planner to build dual monitor desk layouts, 3D monitor setup plans, and ultrawide desk setups before you buy hardware or move arms around. Drag to position, angle side screens, check desk width and depth, and test whether a portrait side monitor or stacked layout fits.

Use the builder to answer the practical desk question: will this monitor layout fit at the width, depth, angle, and height you actually plan to use? It is built for dual monitor layouts, ultrawide desk setup planning, portrait side screens, and 3D monitor placement.
