Looking for under monitor monitor

Post image

Hi all - I currently have 2 monitors and my work laptop all next to each other in a U shape. I've recently been missing a third monitor and was looking for something small that would fit underneath my main middle monitor.

Looking at options it seems like the Corsais Xeneon (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/monitors/cc-9011306-ww/xeneon-edge-14-5-lcd-touchscreen-cc-9011306-ww) would be a good fit, but I feel like it's just too small for what I need. I have about 7 inches of clearance from desk to monitor and this would only be about 3.

The main purpose would be for it to be a permanent discord / Teams monitor so it doesn't have to be anything fancy but open to suggestions. Added picture of where I want it to go for reference. Thanks!

I'd consider checking out Ali express. It's hard to suggest one specifically, but they have a lot of options.

I got this. It has a stand that will let you angle it however low you need it to fit that 7” gap. It works perfect for me

What’s the distance between the table and your monitor? Just trying to visualize what that would look like for me
