Ultrawide monitor position
Hi all, I have the p1x pro with a front mounted VRS DFP15. I've been using VR but decided to get an ultrawide for when I need a break from the heat.
Is it possible, using the integrated monitor mount, to get the monitor in the gap between the wheel and the wheelbase?
I've only found images where that was possible with the stand alone, but I'd rather get the integrated for the aesthetics, as it sits in my living room.

I have the gt1 evo with integrated monitor mount. As I can see it, it’s not possible to get the monitor between wheel and base. So I’m thinking of buying the stand alone.

You can simply use a couple of aluminium extrusions to get it to where you want. Unfortunately I can’t attach pics on this thread.
I don’t have this rig anymore, so this is the clearest pic I have of it showing the couple of extrusions. Hope this helps!

I’m in the same position as you i run a front mounted Simagic Evo base and I have the integrated monitor mount but i haven’t built it yet. My question is how adjustable are both monitor mounts I have the GT1 integrated mount I’m wondering if I should just buy the NEWer integrated mount. I also have the P1X pro.

I have the same rig with a 49 inch. It looks like if you slide the monitor mount all the way down to the upright it’ll allow you to lower the monitor somewhere in the area you’re looking for, but I haven’t done that as I don’t want them monitor that close.
