have you ever gone to one of those like my family did this one year where you do Christmas morning and everyone brings an unlabeled present and puts it under the tree and it can be anything like God you know it can be your old bowling trophy or it can be something you bought at the store and that's actually kind of cool and as a kid but the first one I went for was the biggest possible package and the reason I mentioned bowling trophy is because that among with a among a bunch of other random stupid knickknacks is what was in my my Secret Santa gift so this is proof that not every time when you go for the huge box will it be something stupid inside this is actually a product that I am very excited about because although AMD eyefinity technology has been on the market for quite some time there hasn't really been a good economical feasible way to run three monitors other than like ghetto modding it and throwing three monitors on your desk but there stands running all the cables everywhere and it just it doesn't look that good you can buy expensive stands but that's the problem they're quite expensive I mean Samsung had their MD to 3:03 something out remember that that expensive thing with the three monitors and the one stand built-in but once again very very expensive well XFX decided they were gonna address that so this is the triple display monitor stand from XFX that's right folks a reasonably priced triple monitor stand from a manufacturer that you trust XFX but unboxing before the unboxing struggling here guys the struggling alright alright there we go now we have the real bottom so we can clearly see what is inside the box so that's it I won't be unboxing it today bye yeah I'm kidding on the back let's see what XFX has to say for themselves so it's designed to withstand the most intense gaming sessions and extreme workdays adjust your monitors individually or collectively cool up to 24 inches each for height angle and rotation with the XFX triple display monitor stand your single base will free up desk space while integrated cable management keeps course untangled and organized and it adds functionality to the already sleek design with two USB ports as well as jacks for your gaming headset cool there's a right in the front what's included send me adjustable HD pivot fully adjustable HD adjustable pivot extrusion crossbar 1.5 inch pole XFX plastic cap crossbar cable management clip full management clip m4 phillips pan head monitor mount screws and allen key another allen key abase an instruction booklet six three and a half millimeter stereo cables no a 6-foot three-and-a-half millimeter stereo cable and a six foot USB cable so those are going to be just pass throughs so that you can plug from the back of your case into the monitor stand and then from the front of the monitor stand into your headset or USB devices inside we find dyra phone with an XFX logo on it next we find a manual for both dual and triple display monitor stands now the triple one is the one that I'm really interests and that's the one that we have here today so they show us the steps although this probably looks like a tech tips episode in its own right here's pretty much what they want it to look like at the end so there's you know your webcam and there's your three monitors with all of the cables are routed okay and let's have a look at all the different things that are included it comes on a lot of pieces so uh yeah here we go here's a USB A to B cable so that's for the integrated hub here's your three-and-a-half millimeter audio jacks for your microphone as well as your headphones very nice touch alright see XFX is a gaming company so they put that extra little bit of thought into things gamers need a microphone and a headphone port let's provide it good on you guys okay here we have some visa compatible monitor mounting screws three sets of four all right you have a bag and then we have what appears to be a cable management clip of some sort you know what if I get any of this stuff wrong I apologize guys because I haven't assembled one of these yet so I don't know alright this looks like a little cap for this tube okay with a logo on it as well as a little clip on the back I've got a couple allen keys here this looks like the main stand you can see it's threaded on the one end and not threaded on the other end so that's probably where that cap goes alright next we have the arm assembly itself so check this out guys so it's uh know exactly how it works it looks like something to do with yeah I don't know guys but you can adjust these so I can play that much okay and then you can tighten those up if you want them to be there okay let's see if I can find anything else adjustable here this looks like it's for tightening this in place so you got one of these nifty little guys right here that you have on your cheap Jack included with your car so I had to do the other day actually I've had a flat tire on my car and had to take out the stupid jack from under my spare tire install my spare tire what a painting take my car to Costco get some new tires all right there we go so let's put that away for now without dropping it and breaking it because I just don't need it all right next we have some more little Clippy bits we have another piece of styrofoam wow that's pretty boss looking all right ah here we have the pieces that make this other piece that I was tinkering with before actually makes sense because these ha I think I get it okay these go on here like this okay see that ridge right there so these hook on there and then well I already pretty much can't remove it look at that so it stays on really good so you put these on here and then you attach monitors to them they can slide what appears to be pretty much the entire length of this bar so you can mount the monitor wherever you desire so if you have a few different size monitors although that wouldn't make any sense you could potentially do that if you want it okay gives you a lot of flexibility if nothing else have another one of these and another one of these so this looks like the this looks like the center one because it's different from the others and then these two no wait no this looks like the center one because it's different from the others and then these two look like they must be the outer ones and finally we have the base itself which has got some weight to it which is good I was hoping if it had wait to it because you're gonna put three up to 24 inch monitors hanging off of this thing so you're gonna need not only some weight to keep it from moving around and tipping but also some surface area or some white width to the stance so even though we're gonna have all this weight hanging off the front you can see XFX has designed this to lean quite far forward so even if you try to try to tip it it shouldn't go anywhere in the front here we have our microphone our headphone jack as well as our two USB ports which you could use for example for your keyboard and mouse say for example if you work I don't know a gamer okay and then in the back we have the pass throughs so there's your mic pass through your headphone pass through and your USB hub on the bottom we find some non-stick arm nonstick non-slip pads okay so these are all over the place down here you can see there's far more in the front than there are in the back in terms of the spacing the reason for that once again is because most of the weight is going to be forward leaning on this particular device and that is important for stability alright thank you for checking out my unboxing of the XFX cheerful display monitor stand I hope to get this thing assembled and show you guys what it looks like with three monitors on it in the next little while here and as always don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our unboxings reviews another computer videos
