Modern Cozy Desk Setup in a Small Space - with a Unique Monitor

Thanks to Volta (geni.us/pbWP Get 15% off by using coupon code DNC15)
& LG for this stunning unique monitor. #officedecor desksetup #LGDUALUP #CreatorMonitor
After a couple of years, I finally took the time to setup a functioning, aesthetic workspace for the missus in our 'family' room. This tiny little opening (nook) was small but just enough space for a working standing desk with some fixings. The LG DUAL up monitor was released just in time to complete this setup.

Well done hubby I know your wife is loving this new office space Beautiful family 🥰

[@georgewithmore8972]

...I never cease to be amazed at all the wonderful things out there that can make for an incredibly efficient and sophisticated work environment. I need a monitor arm like that to install on the Protractor desk I just ordered from Manhattan Home Design! It looks quite professional and amazingly functional. Thanks for the reviews!

[@purrrfectblood]

Great and simple setup! I'm sharing my home office and since we moved it's really quite small, so I'm looking for inspiration on KZbin and found your channel. Great work :)

[@dyloncai]

Lovely video work and story telling. Beautiful desk setup as well, love the products you showcased. Thanks for the video.

[@MysticNessly]

So much thought was put into this well put together desk! Lot of utility in a small area. 💗it! Really like that under desk caddy also. Gonna look into getting one myself.

[@BertaCodes]

Love the set up, monitor and video editing! Well done!

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

Very simple and clean setup! Nicely presented.

[@chedc28]

Such a clean and cosy setup, and a beautifully edited video too! Watching this video made me feel like I was relaxing at that desk 🥰

[@DNChromatic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dev.robert]

Nice update and smooth video, man. I always appreciate when people make the best with what they have. Gonna make an "upgrade setup video" pretty soon.

[@fishemmanuel1982]

I have the same chair and a 49" LG monitor love the chair and the display space but some times becomes uncomfortable having to reach so far on the screen, focus the eye at the edge of the screen. I do structural and solar design and it worth every single penny. for the desk I have a upliftdesk base and I did the top using 1" strips of dark walnut with danish oil so you can feel the wood grain.I love your setup ! very clean design

[@kesterbelgrove818]

Your videography and editing skills are on point and the colours, lighting... all of it are on point, I enjoyed it a lot, the content is good tooo lol.

[@fightmebtch]

I love this! Got so much inspiration from your set up, since my space is this small, thank you!!

[@nosauce5321]

Very creative use of space. I love it 😍

[@YuBrian]

love the way you arrange every shot. must be enjoyable working on that desk!

[@MillenniumFalcon]

Wow. You are really artistic. Love this style. Thank you.

[@Aetucre]

That's a sharp setup!

[@ShingoSAP]

Beautiful setup !👏👏👏

[@FrFrFrog]

Very nice setup but also a very well edited video. It was so relaxing to watch :)

[@ohh_mendozuhh]

Nice job! Simple but looks great.

[@Himanshu-yv1vf]

That was aesthetic as hell!! Great set up man.

[@peterson53047]

One of the best monitor for me

[@kennyinatrance]

[@techandmoney]

Great setup!

[@majorkeeb7493]

that is coooooozy. looks and feels like a warm hug :D

[@anabell7184]

really like how it turned out

[@DNChromatic]

Thanks you. Hopefully she thinks so

[@uibasnet]

This is beautiful ❤

[@redaizo]

good quality content. Good execution. For the tiny rechargable lamp. Tape of the "glass" portion Spray paint it in white.:)

[@buildingabetterwebsite]

I just got this monitor and i love it

[@loveArtnotFood]

really nice!

[@supercc66]

looks nice . same monitor !

[@isah.7849]

Really nice and unique setup, I like it a lot 👩‍💻

[@DNChromatic]

Glad you like it!

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

Matthew Encina vibes for sure!

[@RYOKER]

Volta looks great

[@sharonstayblessed]

I like all times chosen a lot

[@rogerioaugustofonseca6011]

Amazing video. Gave me great ideas for my small corner. What are those 3 white buttons below the desk?

[@liquidgroove]

Always a treat seeing a new video from you. Loved how the space turned out. Look forward to more vids. Sooner rather than later 😊

[@DNChromatic]

Appreciate it! Working on a living room update.

[@liquidgroove]

@@DNChromatic Looking forward to it

[@KG-rc3hu]

Great video. Do you know how far can you lower the screen with the ergo stand? Can you place it level with the desk? Thanks

[@zedl]

Loved the video, super high quality! Also wow, how does one get in touch with LG to get free stuff?? 😄

[@richiehustle]

Is the monitor really good to use and practical? What's your experience? I mean square size image - does it look alright? And did you adapt quickly to such novelty.

[@peace.n.blessings5579]

[@weilyan]

about the screenbar light: I have another LG monitor from their Ergo line and I've noticed that if I plug in the screenbar light to the USB-A of the monitor and use the USB-C cable to connect to my laptop, it works perfectly fine. When I plug the USB-C cable to my USB-C iPad, it works fine when the iPad is use, when the iPad is in sleep mode, sometimes it flickers on and off. Something to keep in mind when your wife upgrades laptop.

[@YourMajesty143]

Your wife is beautiful! And I love the desk setup, very clean and cozy!

[@ocvisual]

Great video and content! May I ask what kind of mug your wife has with the green drink?

[@garrettweil3464]

Love the video! What is that large leafed plant we see peeking through in a few shots?

[@DNChromatic]

It’s a artificial Monstera. 🌱

[@svroundtree90]

What are the buttons that she presses at 5:12? Do they control the monitor?

[@DNChromatic]

That was the LED back light.

[@gallahant]

Can you tell me from where u got that oval shaped wooden tray that is shown at 2:26?

[@seth7971]

Request consult support : I am a digital painter, does it apply to Ipadpro 2022 ? 😄

[@matgaming1163]

Loved the video and the setup! I would think you have at least 10x the subscribers from this video. I’m thinking of getting the walnut structube lift top. Do you have any thoughts about yours?

[@DNChromatic]

I’m very pleased at its quality and value, considering wood prices these days.

[@Drift-Daddy]

I freakin' love those glasses she's wearing 6:35 lol. Any way to find out what they are?

[@voidmind]

Looks good, but this is not very ergonomic. If you constantly have to raise your head to look at the content at the top part of the screen, you will get neck or back pain pretty quickly.

[@weltelesandrade]

What model is this keyboard in this video?

[@richiehustle]

5:56 ☀️

[@tylerdurden0403]

Like!

[@tritranchannel]

Happy wife happy life. So admire the husband

[@aamirbadershah887]

Q: How did you get the monitor sent by LG?

[@MrRedBuilder]

SPONGEBOB MONITOR!!! Nah, I don't mean to make fun. If it works for you, great! Cinematography on pointe though! The entire video looks incredible.

[@hzleyes7087]

What do you use for zoom calls? I don’t see a webcam?

[@DNChromatic]

This setup does not have one, I have one in my office as I do more calls.

[@thanatosor]

Do you actually feel comfortable after switching to that big tall LG ?

[@DNChromatic]

It’s treated mostly as two monitors on top of each other. So primary use is the bottom half. The top half is a bit uncomfortable if you’re not use to it.

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

Can that stand be used with any VESA monitor?

[@DNChromatic]

I don’t believe so.

[@mintjq9666]

what book bag is that??

[@DNChromatic]

Which one?

[@jonathanng386]

HI YING

[@quirijnkaya4042]

6:08 sixteen by what

[@DNChromatic]

16 :18 ratio. I've made errors with this edit so I just removed it.

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

What that's desk chair you're using?

[@DNChromatic]

Humanscale Freedom

[@contactkelvinsim]

Monitor a bit high leh.. my table is always lowest possible for my height and my monitor is right at the bottom almost touching the table for this vertical configuration...

[@aietoledo5535]

may i know what the model of the laptop?

[@aietoledo5535]

sure

[@runnerslow]

5:16 dude your CC

[@calvinogood]

Happy wife, happy life... lol

[@Dima_Statnykh]

Всем привет.

[@lwwells]

Did I just watch 12 sponsor adverts?

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Sorry, that is NOT a unique monitor. It is one of the FEW - note few - squarish monitors. I use a number so far of EIZO EZ2730Q which are diagonal with 27" and like the predecessor. Lower resolution (1980 x 1980), which I will replace with a DualUp soon, but unique is a very strong statement for a class of monitors that exist for quite some time and are amazing for a lot of creative/technical work.

[@ralfjahns3777]

The monitor is too high. Every ergonomic advice I have read, says, that the UPPER edge of the monitor should be on the same height as the eyes. I saw your wife lift her chin to look UP to the monitor. This will probably cause problems long term.

[@neol3066]

ergonomic guides are one thing, actual comfort during use is another. The height of the monitor is also dependent on the size of said monitor. Monitors that are 32 inch or bigger will cause you severe discomfort if you try to position their upper edge at the same level as your eyes, since good luck trying to see what’s under them comfortably at the normal viewing distance.

[@Baman21]

​@neol3066 the desk is adjustable height anyway right?

[@jspunk5199]

Dark walnut was way better.

[@DNChromatic]

I do have that combo for my own office. I switched up here for a lighter touch.

[@lemuelnacino]

Honestly that monitor is so weird for me.

[@tiagofigueira4525]

Mechanical keyboard+Quiet nope

[@rvteamfamily5616]

this is the full gimmick of monitor, my advice is sell it and get a better one

[@pie5771]

Nice setup but that monitor is giving me aids
