I decided to strip back the setup to just one monitor and have my series x join the setup. Easily one of my favourite setups.

A lot of folks asking about the lights - it's the Nanoleaf Lightstrip! Works with google home, apple HomeKit etc - geni.us/LIGHTSTRIP-NANOLEAF

[@AJ-ub4wh]

can I get 4k 144hz by using Type c to display port cable from my MacBook Pro M1 16 inch. Or using a usb 4 cable without any converter or thunderbolt hub. I am considering buying it. The only thing that concerns me is that, will it run 4k 144hz on mac!? So, please let me know or you can create a detailed video on this topic.

[@CharlieKK95]

Looks great. Well done

[@jagabatt]

Great presentation! I love your videos! You don't waste time getting to the point! I need those lights!

[@dylanzachary683]

This is a nice little humble set up, I usually see these setup videos by KZbinrs and when I go to add something to my set up I see it costs a million dollars but I can actually afford the stuff in your set up so I can add it to mine

[@DunnDealOutdoors]

This is exactly what I’m looking for!

[@eplugplay8409]

Nice setup and nice desk. I feel lucky to have my own gameroom/man cave/office/theateroom. Your setup is motivating me to upgrade my desk and monitor but already have a 65" LG OLED C1 that I got a few months back as my main monitor in the room as well as a 100" 1080p Epson projector that I really need to upgrade next to the 4k.

Console and monitor interesting choice. Console and TV the best choice Monitor and PC yes i agree.

Refreshing to see a desk setup video not sponsored by Grovemade and its expensive products.

[@manlikechookz]

Bro really living the dream

[@Drmunnybear]

Thank you for another great setup video. Hoping I can have your help for a huge frustration that I have. For devices I have a PC, PS5 and work laptop. For inputs/outputs, I have USB speaker (AE HD3), USB microphone (razor siren), custom keyboard, mouse (MX M3), one 43" 4k monitor and one 27" 2k monitor. Currently.... It's literally plug and unplug every time with limited peripherals for PS5 and laptop (I.e. no mic and keyboard/mouse). Any recommendations to bring them all together? I have two train of thoughts which are both at a dead end. 1) give up second monitor and buy a better DAC with USB (for PS5) and optical input (for PC), this leaves out USB mic, mouse and keyboard and not friendly to work laptop. 2) KVM since all my peripherals are USB, but doesn't appear to be viable given most of them will cater to keyboard and mouse but not mic and speakers. I also thought about a huge USB hub of some sort but have not found a good product yet. Idea from anyone would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[@NewKidsNitro2011]

Awesome video dude. Just so that I get this straight, since I am also trying to get into the streaming/recording/content creating space here. You said that you connected your Blue Yeti microphone to your monitor? I have been trying all kinds of ways to connect my USB Microphone (HyperX Quadcast), but I simply do not get any sound, and otherwise I do not hear my in-game chats (since I play with friends and other streamers). If you (or someone else) could break that down for me, you'd have no idea how much I'd appreciate that. You've earned my sub, really great video! :)

[@SachinthaGunasena]

This is a nice setup. I like the minimalist and clean look.

[@Odnomah]

Nice setup looks clean. What chair are you using? I'm about your height and have been struggling to find a decent chair for ages. Thanks

[@rc8281]

I would suggest wall mounting the consoles. I have my PS5 mounted in the wall, below the desk.

[@vrushabhpatil9610]

Mac Book on gaming setup looks odd🤏

[@molltor5698]

Hello, I know the video is old, but can you make a video for the graphics settings for this monitor

[@karmawinzz]

Turn one monitor vertically. It's great for work laptop / email.

[@MagnusIXX]

Great Vid! Quick question. How do you find switching between devices? I have a similar setup but cannot find a decent HDMI 2.1 switcher, I have tried 4 different switchers so far and they all take so long switching I might as well use the monitor buttons. I have a PS5 and Mac Mini connected to the ASUS ROG PG32UQ any advice?

[@grizz4185]

I’m definitely preferring console gaming now too!

[@GameTheComos]

It was the magic swirly hands for me 😂

[@Kubzy988]

I have the asus monitor 24 inch with 0.5ms 165hz ! I trophy hunt on ps5 and waiting for my macbook air m1 chip arive as my xmas present this year 😍

[@monyetbesar]

You should definitely consider the Philips M1N5800A. It's a 4K 32" monitor with a 144hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 support, so suitable for console gaming. Going to pick one up tomorrow.

[@Mannyallin]

I was thinking about getting the gigabyte m32u 4K 144hz curved monitor do you think the Phillips is a better option I’m only gaming on ps5 rn

[@monyetbesar]

@@Mannyallin From what I remember is that the curved one uses a VA panel. It results in more vibrant colors and deeper blacks, but ghosting and blur are definitely more worse on (most) VA panels. With that in mind I would always choose for an IPS panel. The normal M32U without curve does use a IPS panel I think.

[@maksiklukas6637]

Какая цена филипса?

[@BlackRazer37]

nice setup ,maybe i can build up a setup like that one day the ideas are there ,but its still the lack of money haha

[@hsd287]

U can get a good PC too

[@APPL3SL1CES]

Financing a monitor helps a lot

[@Sixty5South]

LOVE the setup brother! I have a very similar setup with my standing desk, laptop, and PS, but you've definitely given me some pointers on minimizing and making better use of my desktop space. As for the monitor, in September I upgraded from the Gigabyte M27Q to the M28U for the 4K and couldn't be happier. It has been THE BEST monitor combination for productivity and gaming at an affordable price. I know you're still testing it but I don't think you'll be disappointed. One question I do have for you though is about speakers. I noticed that you just used headphones, do you ever use speakers for editing, etc., or was going with headphones just more to help save space within this setup? Thanks!

[@Ahmed28567]

He said he goes here to escape while his toddlers asleep so that’s why he uses headphone

[@JayTac1]

This is a great setup, but I don't understand how something this fancy can be considered minimalist.

[@stephaned3072]

Minimal not cheap. Its neat and dont have too much things all over the place

[@JayTac1]

@@stephaned3072 By fancy, I mean it's far too extravagant to be considered minimalist. This is in no way the minimum and it has nothing to do with the cost.

[@JayTac1]

@@stephaned3072 Look at it like this, his setup is more complicated, more feature-rich, has more components, and yes less free space than most setups. Collectively, that is the antithesis of minimalism. It is NEAT for the amount of stuff he has going on. But neat and minimal are not the same. A setup can be minimal but not neat or neat but not minimal.

[@stephaned3072]

@@JayTac1 the term minimal is based on opinion. What you consider minimal might be too extravagant to another. The desk is a bit too much for my personal liking but to be fair id say its still minimal even though i think its at the borderline

Get another monitor, maybe another light and some posters for ambience

[@damonaniton]

I like setup but I would go with an LG C1 or C2

[@oxyzzmoron]

LG C2 OLED 42" is the monitor to get. I have the CX 48" and I don't plan on going back to anything else when it comes to gaming. OLED is simply the best for gaming for console and PC.

[@iqadwolf2554]

I have C1 48 inch I think it’s the same with c2 right ? I know C2 is newer but no big difference in my opinion

Just ran across this video and love the content! I have been streaming from the base 14" MacBook as well. Have you had any issues with monitor flickering? And I am amazed you got everything to run through the USB hub!! I have been struggling with that.

Yo! No flickering but I actually put the capture card for my consoles direct to my MacBook and not through the hub. No issues so far!

[@Toasted5Head]

How do you like the felt mouse mat? I know there are expensive Grovemade branded ones, but I won't pay those prices. Or at least I would like to find something cheaper, and the one you have looks very nice, only 19 dollars! Anyway any input would be appreciated.

[@MinimalisTech]

They’re actually a great starting pad. I actually got a grovemade one this week. The quality is actually a stark difference. I have 4 of the ones in this setup though. They’re simply “fine”. They pill and thread a lot wherever your mouse is. That said it’s worth the money. The quality can’t compete with grovemade which I didn’t know up until this week
