Multiple Monitor & TV desktop mounting.

I recently relocated and am setting up my battlestation, and need a way to mount some screens.

I currently have 2x 24" monitors on my desk. But I also have a 32" LCD TV, which was in the loungeroom of my old place but the new place already has bigger TV's.

I want to put it in my room but there isn't any room for its own stand. I'm renting though and I can't wall mount it unfortunately.

I want to mount it above the two monitors (not for viewing from my chair but rather the bed behind me. Sort of like this:

I've done a bit of googling and had a look around. But could anyone recommend a reliable, yet not ridiculously expensive system that could handle the weight? Clamp is much more preferable but if I had to drill through the desk I guess I could.

stand the 2x24"s on the desk.

Buy a plank of wood to wedge against the wall (between the desk and the wall) that you can screw a wall mount to...
Cheap(ish) and nasty... but should do the trick. (meeting the 'rental' requirement.)

I don't mind buying one or two. I'd rather be able to go and pick it up from a store than buy online. I've seen a few sites that sell them, but not stores. I'll have more of a look but if anyone knows of a company they could recommend that'd be great.

If they all have VESA mounting holes you're cheering. You just need some of the below which I'm sure I've seen in Bunnings cheap, then you can mount those onto whatever you want.

There is no way in hell I'd want a 32" TV that high up in the air and NOT screwed to something. If you're dead set against screwing it at least go to bunnings or mitre 10 and get yourself some decent G clamps or something.

I'd suggest some sort of shelf or something if you really don't want to screw to anything. Make a shelf that sits on your desk & over the other 2 monitors, then you can just use whatever stand the TV comes with.

I've got a single stand which holds my 3 x 22" monitors in line.. it's ok i think it's branded..

that might be what i got obviously your config is different so something from here might help you for the two monitors and then a giant stand to hold the TV..

I hope the TV is lcd and light lol.

Edit: my 3 monitor stand has a bit on top of it so if i bought another stand i could literally put it on top and run 6 monitors.. i'm not sure the desk could hold it using the supplied clamps though lol.

Skythra what sort of triple mount do you have?

I'm rockin 3x24's, and I can't seem to find a single triple 24 stand that will hold em...

I'm runnin 3x Samsung 2443BW's, and best I can figure, they're close enough to 8kg's each.
