Trying to Add a monitor to this desk

[chr6]

hi everyone!

im using a large monitor on my ikea jerker that takes up most of the desk space.

i miss having the productivity a second monitor brings, so i want to add a 2nd monitor somewhere to this desk.

i went to ikea and found out the jerker was discontinued so they didn't have shelves for it anymore (they replaced it with a desk called the fredrik, which is a sorry disappointment of a desk)

so im exploring other options, one idea was to use something like this:

and attach it to one of the vertical beams, but im not sure how that would work.
the jerker has a 37" westinghouse on it. another top horizontal shelf runs horizontally over the display where my printer sits.

i was also thinking to put the monitor ontop of that shelf and angle it downward as an option; but i think my neck would hurt looking straight up all the time.

any other ideas?
thanks!

Go on craigslist and get a jerker shelf.

I have a jerker also and saw that craigslist had a lot of stuff for it.

my buddy across town drilled holes into an existing neoflex arm and we bolted it to the desk, here is the end result

Craigslist has tons of desks and shelves for cheap.
