lovely

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ear6190]

Tidy!

[u/cavalierenjoyer]

Looks great. Love my widescreen as well - what is your lighting setup?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/cavalierenjoyer]

Just Hue strip and Xiaomi light bar for monitor. The shelf lights are cupboard lights I got off amazon.

[u/SigmundFurred → u/Interesting-Maize-36]

Do the cupboard lights run off battery?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/SigmundFurred]

yeah however USB C rechargeable.

[u/NaturalZombie6792]

Looks lovely!! What is the monitor arm ?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/NaturalZombie6792]

Desky Heavy Duty Ultrawide Monitor Arm

[u/MatejAx]

Very nice setup 👌

[u/Kikiblue444]

Dream setup

[u/SigmundFurred]

The warm led behind the desk looks great

I've come to be bored of colourful rgb, and will probably get a warm strip like yours

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/SigmundFurred]

Haha welcome to adulthood.

[u/StanbyME_MOD]

Coming together nicely. If you want a screen just for watching, a wireless TV like the StanbyME 2 Max would be worth adding.

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/StanbyME_MOD]

Well since you guys came to me… any chance you want to send one over for the setup? 😂

[u/ex_gatito]

Hi, what is the mouse?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/ex_gatito]

G502 X Plus. Great mouse for extra buttons let down by G HUB.

[u/laksh95goel]

The keyboard looks slick. Which one is it?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/laksh95goel]

Thanks mate, Logitech PRO X TKL.

[u/moss3000]

Considering a wide screen myself. Coming from a dual monitor setup I've wondered how people arrange their windows /apps. I know windows OS can arrange them for you but is there a better way? I use Fancy zones from Powertoys even now.

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/moss3000]

I use Fancy zones in Powertools but Display Fusion also works great.

The biggest drawbacks are you can't run a youtube video full screen one side etc. I believe you can do this with 2 displayport cables though, however I need to trial it.

you also have the 32:9 requirements meaning games take alot more PC power.

[u/cavalierenjoyer → u/Interesting-Maize-36]

Can use a chrome plug in to do this, name of it is lost on me rn but ask AI

[u/Lemorz566]

What monitor is that? Great setup

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/Lemorz566]

MSI MPG 491CQP. thanks mate!

[u/engagedolphin456]

How long is your desk?? Looking for a desk right now

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/engagedolphin456]

I believe 1800mm

[u/TommyPT_]

How did you wire the lamps under the shelves? Looks very serene!

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/TommyPT_]

They're rechargeable cupboards lights I got off amazon.

[u/rock9y]

Monitor arm?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/rock9y]

Desky Heavy Duty Ultrawide Monitor Arm

[u/Desky_Official → u/Interesting-Maize-36]

Desky here 👋

Appreciate the shout, the Heavy Duty Ultrawide Arm looks right at home in that setup.

Really clean workspace too. Hope it keeps serving you well.

[u/8bithumano]

What led lamps are under the shelves are those?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/8bithumano]

They're cupboard lights off amazon.

[u/Lost-Passenger-4341]

Where are the speaker stands from?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/Lost-Passenger-4341]

I can't remember but if you look up speaker stand clamp you should find some similar.

[u/Tv_JeT_Tv]

How do you display your games like that?

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/Tv_JeT_Tv]

What do you mean? look up Steam big picture mode?

[u/Waste_Affect_4008]

Is it a problem having the monitor low and close like this? I see it’s common. Just curious

[u/Interesting-Maize-36 → u/Waste_Affect_4008]

You've gotta remember its like having 2 compact 27" monitors so they're not exactly large. I believe if I'm around 65cm away from them which seems like plenty of distance.
