Are there any negative effects of using these on their sides? I plan on sticking them just under my monitor.

I used them on their sides for a day and liked it. I stood them up because of desk space. Other than that, I see no reason not to use them I their sides. The instructions suggest that you can use them on their sides. Like any electronics, I would give them some air space around them so they don't get too hot.

Positioning is critical with these speakers. It was a big reason I returned them, as they only sounded good when placed a very particular way. If you can lay out the extra bucks for the JBL Spyro 2.1 system, go for it. I was trying to replace those with these, and had to repo the spyro's from my daughter. Closer to this price range, I'd say go with the Flip, or the Philips AD7000W/37 Fidelio (about $60) - which will fill a room with sound, but is cheap because the wireless feature doesn't work well - plugged in it rocks.

I have them under my monitor. Although I have them side-up (vertically), I don't see why you would have any issues putting them on their sides (horizontally). If you notice, there's a lining on one side; I would put that side on the table.

I'm still trying them in different positions to maximize sound and use of space.

well...yes and no. You can with the lower, but the upper you will normally have tilted downward for better viewing and as the side monitors are angled on both axis all you will get is the top inside corner for them. If you do decide to keep the top straight then yes to both :)

If you tried doing that, you'd want to make sure the only thing that's upside-down is the pole itself. But I'm not sure how you'd be able to use the monitors so close to the ceiling. The pole itself isn't that long.Logically, there wouldn't be any difference in the stresses or resistance if only the pole is upside-down.Aside from the shortness of the pole, the only other problem would be the difficulty in attaching the pole securely to the ceiling.

If I wanted to stack them and they didn't make good contact, I'd simply make my own connector and put it between them. I suppose as long as they're PCB protected, there should be no problem.

That is where I use them in. They work great, just make sure you put them in right side up.

Sure will! You should about 3/4 of an inch left on each side of your screen. :-)

I believe they are being literal in their instructions. Do not place (literally) anything on top of your Mac. - And yes, one can buy a stand that the Mini fits under and your monitor sits on top.

They're great with weight. I have large 8" monitors on mine and they hold up very well. They are locking so you can pretty much put whatever you want on them.

I doubt it will cause any harm. Other than the front cover logo looking weird I doubt you will be able to hear any difference when placed on their side.

I place the clear guides on the sides of the monitor but I don't use the sticky tabs. That way, I can remove it the screen from my monitor and if I needed to resuse it, I could do that easily.

I have only used these monitors on dual arm mounts. In my opinion the biggest drawback to these budget monitors is the weak stands with no height adjustments. Couple a pair with a dual arm monitor mount however and you have a winning combination.

I would recommend putting them near one of the sides though- not in the middle or over time it will sag

Nothing, they can be left exposed at the end of the strip. You can attach them with an adaptor to another strip of LEDs if you want.

Not really, but they don't diminish the visibility, either. I was using a mirrored screen saver and I couldn't see anything on the screen in bright daylight. These are barely perceptible.

they aren't perfect but they are definitely more than adequate. You should look into the new 22" model. Its supposed to have better viewing angles. I have my yiynova attached to a monitor arm to give me a wide range of motions and the viewing angles don't bother me at all.

Yes! I have my two side monitors behind the middle on to hide the bezels some

I dont think it will hurt no matter what position you put them in. I have most of mine hanging on the walls, while a few are just sitting behind the tv. I think you should be just fine hanging them.
