It seems the Gigabyte monitors are probably the way to go for 4K right now

28 inch: M28U

32 inch: M32U

Would be my two suggestions

would I be able to mount a 3rd monitor above 2 side by side screens with these?

What do you mean? 3 x 4k monitors? What are your reasons for that layout?

not necessarily 3 of these just not sure how mounting brackets work with different brands/types of monitors

So what configuration do you mean? What resolutions and for what purposes?

 

[Martinr36]

Most monitors have vesa mounting on them

I want to either have 3 monitors side by side with one being vertical like:

or having them in a kind of pyramid shape:

Mainly want 1 main "gaming" monitor so probably the 32" gigabyte one that was suggested, then I currently use 1 monitor for all my messaging and web surfing but found when I stream constantly tabbing out isn't the best

Vesa monitor mounts are a standard, most monitors these days support VESA mounting and will specify the VESA size they carry on the specs sheet:

How do you find out which VESA standard your screen / monitor has?

Yeah, that makes sense

For really good monitor mounts, I always recommend Lindy, they're quite expensive but they're modular so you can buy one mounting solution and then swap out the monitor arms as you need as your setup adjusts. They also tend to be higher rated from a weight perspective.

So for instance, I had a 2 monitor setup on a desk mount where the base is screwed into the desk. With covid and working from home, I relegated my 4k monitor to the office downstairs, and just bought a new single mount monitor arm and plonked that onto the existing stand. So cost me £30 to keep things nice and tidy, and I can always go back to the 2 monitor setup in the future should I wish.

I'll check it out, I've been looking into buying a new solid wood desk rather than the current Ikea one I have so I can have a solid base to mount it to

They do different mounting options, so they have clamps if you'd rather not screw in, it's quite cool.

Any recommendations for the non-4k monitors to go with the M32U

I'd say stick to 1440p, but you don't need anything over 60Hz which will keep the price down.

1080p is really restrictive for most uses these days, you really notice it even for basic use.

These Lenovo's are currently £50 off direct from Lenovo, full IPS so have really good viewing angles which will be important, plus VESA 100 x 100 mounting, they look really nice design wise also:
