Yo guys! Haven't done a setup vlog in a while so here we go - lemme know if you want more stuff like this! Also... should we build a tiny PC? 👀 ❤

[@theodorosgeorgalis8027]

awesome setup, you can use maybe wall mounts for your speakers, it will make your desk a lot cleaner.. Sure go for the tiny pc, please make a small custom watercooled one!! I am waiting for the next video!!! 🙃

[@user-eh2fl7bh2o]

Why not

[@CheesePeesha]

I have those Kanto stands in the white, absolutely love them. I'm not a fan of small form factor pc's myself, but if it works for you then why not?!

[@intothebeyond8763]

The real question is where do you guys get your wallpapers.

[@ssaini5028]

Are you using RTX HDR?

[@alunlloyd9812]

Your channels inspires me to create a black sided, white sided and wood sided setup. The harmony y’all create with black white and wood with some splashes of color is awesome for gaming or even office setups

[@DanielDChannel]

Wow the panels over the window is a really good Idea , I think Im going to have to do this soon thanks so much for including this in your video. Awesome set up as always👍👍

[@popnfresh2928]

Unreal, nice job YET AGAIN....love your channel 👏🏾

[@kk-tq6ss]

I really enjoy what you guys are doing with these vlog style videos... the video quality and filming style is excellent and theres a really good mix between product shots, the talking and that ''at home/vlog type''kind of feel💯

[@TechTesseract]

Ay appreciate the feedback!

[@StopperJJ]

I also run a lower 49" OLED in my set up and it really is a great experience for editing. I also use it to do construction material take offs and leveling proposals in massive excel work books. I then later found that I can use it for our online DnD games because I can have a full instance of the scene from the Game Master perspective and a secondary instance from the player perspective in our VTT without having to turn my head up to the overhead constantly. It's a niche use case, but boy do I love it for that. I do hope we get a 4k, 16:9 variant of these OLED panels this year though. Some games I truly prefer a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio but at a higher resolution.

[@MadMaxx1977]

Sweet monitor and overall setup, mate! Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Adam Audio aficionado, too!

[@TechTesseract]

Ayyy thanks man!

[@Der-Schnitter777]

I’m planning on doing a 49 on set up too. Wasn’t sure how it’d look with other monitors. Yours looks fantastic. Definitely making me more optimistic about doing it!

[@slawomir_szewczyk]

Love It

[@TechTesseract]

Yes indeed!

[@AnhLe-rc9vg]

Hey which wallpaper are you using? Looking fantastic!

[@Richiemouse]

You're right, this kind of video is far, far superior to the usual unboxing dross

[@cheezyjokester]

I added an Ikea drawer unit next to my desk and put my tower on it. I like it quite a bit and gives me storage for computer related items. The monitor is massive. The setup looks good.

[@TechTesseract]

Great idea!

[@hoofhearted4]

6:24 thats how i feel. When youre building, cool case and lights is fun. but then i turn the RGB off, and stop looking inside after the first few pictures. I too have been considering a SFF case for my next build, but having trouble finding one I like (that has dust filters).

[@johnbaillargeon7037]

That’s a sweet monitor

[@imniallg]

Great video. You should do an open case pc and mount it on the Wooden panels

[@cluster-bom]

I almost had a aneurysm when you were pulling it out of the box. Holy fugg ma boi. 🤯😂

[@TechTesseract]

Lmao 🤣

[@itsdeonlol]

This monitor is everything!

[@TechTesseract]

Glad u like it!

[@nathanhare2898]

hey, I also use the 49" and had the space issue. I got the Ikea shelf that is just one door (variant of the Alex doors) and it does a really nice job of hiding it under my desk

[@frankvasquez4827]

Awesome man! I just bouught the 34" model of this monitor, and I want to use my normal 27" on top. Can you share the monitor arm that you used please?

[@Tbagnbdn]

I have the G9 Oled and x34 predator, I think I need to stack those too as you did 🎉

[@DVS1XL]

Hi please can you let us know what monitor arm you are using? The set up is amazing.

[@z3ntix]

Bought the MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED almost a month ago. Went from 27 IPS, and damn what a swap. This 49" looks sweet, but to big for me.

[@MisterD7891]

Hi thanks for the video and could you gime please the ref of your arm for your 49’ monitor and the support for attach the two monitor on your desk. You system are so perfect than I buy recently. Thx

[@Technimatter]

Best setup i wish i had like that setup

[@nexus77241]

Looks great! I like the vertical setup. I actually like the slats. What kind of speakers are those?

[@TechTesseract]

Adam audio T5V!

[@DatBoiTip]

have you though of getting the hexcal studio, i think it would help cable management the setup better and save more space

[@SarlarisTech]

Nice monitor, thinking of adding one in my setup!

[@TechTesseract]

Awesome!

[@DanticYT]

that's one wide boi🖥

[@TechTesseract]

Not as wide as your triple super ultra wide setup 🤣

[@gcmanuel85x]

Should those ultra wides have double stands ?

[@pctambis]

what monitor arm are you using? is it rated for the 49"? been looking for a cheaper ergotron alternative

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏

[@CDubbsW0rld]

Similar setup I have. I have G9 OLED at the bottom and AW3225QF at the top. Best of both worlds for me.

[@robertthomson1994]

you should get one of those under desk mounts for your pc and put it on the right and the drawer stay on the left that way you've got the pc out of that little nook it's in and give it more room to breath

[@TechTesseract]

I looked into it but I don't think there is space with the frame of the desk :(

[@j.s.8583]

Where u getting those wallpapers?

[@jt-man3202]

Wow ❤

[@sydneyhall1229]

looks amazing! what wallpaper are you using?

[@rhomba9364]

I'm wondering this too

[@junexdallas1]

Same, hope he responds

[@billbabbs3871]

At time stamp 4:50, what stand is that you are using to mount the monitors. And where did you get them? Thx

[@10.1.13.]

What if you mounted your PC to the wall up in the corner?

[@JoseEGarza-kh3jb]

Niiiiice

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

The wooden pannels actally look good. It makes sense for the room.

[@TechTesseract]

Glad you like it!

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

@@TechTesseract Oh yeah ofcourse I do. I also think it's a good idea obviously because it's hard to see the screen sometimes with the sunlight.

[@roknboker]

Great job y'all! Still thinking about doing that Avatar build in the Tower 300?

[@TechTesseract]

Yes indeed! Coming soon :D

[@roknboker]

@@TechTesseract excited for that! I’m waiting to get mine so I can do a build in it!

[@TechTesseract]

Oh wait weren't you the last giveaway winner? Just got the shipping label for it from AMD so will ship asap!

How does it run runescape?

[@KyleChurch]

Dang, they shipped my monitor to the wrong address again. Let me know when you're ready to send it back to me.

[@icommitedwarcrimes4879]

The other one came to me

[@mr.noname9416]

5:55 I would consider buying the secretlab mangus pro desk, awesome for cable management and it has built in holes for their pc mount. Your PC would like clean mounted underneath the desk. The benefit of the magnus desk is that your pc goes up and down as you use the standing feature.

[@TechTesseract]

Will check it out!

[@SM-ox1io]

you can literally do this with any standing desk

[@mr.noname9416]

@@SM-ox1io Don't think so, I don't see how you are going to build in a power socket into the leg of your own standing desk.

@@TechTesseract thanks!

[@Popcorn-om7wp]

Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳❤❤

[@Mavo1989]

Id like to do a 49... but the biggest issue with 49 is that the DPI & PPI sucks ass for text and normal work... it needs to be at least 150+ ppi and higher to be anything decent closer to retina display when your looking at text or scripting all day as a hybrid cloud engineer... 49 is nice for productivity but not great gaming as it chews so much resources... they have a long way to go, ill still stay with the highest possible 4k and PPI for work stuff and also fits better into the gaming category with most 4k having decent PPI high refresh rates and powered USB-c as well.... The monitor you got only has a dpi / ppi of 108.54 PPI.... its pretty low resolution really....

[@robertclaunch2431]

Which do you prefer? The MSI or the ASUS 49” monitor??

[@TechTesseract]

Both super similar tbh, build quality/aesthetics is a little nicer on the asus but the msi is way cheaper for basically the same specs so comes down to budget really

[@robertclaunch2431]

Thanks!!

[@robertclaunch2431]

So you know, Amazon has the ASUS on sale for $300 off. Just bought one!!

[@DrChildTaker]

while i watching this video my monitor stand fucking slipped off of the back of my desk and i just spent the last hour re connecting my monitors and re clamping my clamp ...

[@kozo20002]

Sorry but I laughed 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tankspl7]

Nice monitor, but going by specs you have 240 Hz for Samsung vs 144 Hz for MSI everything else being about the same with Samsung being about $100 more on Amazon. Hence, why I bought the Samsung.

[@TechTesseract]

Fair! I can't tell above 144hz tbh xD

[@juniornunes]

my pc is in the closet next to my desk i cut a hole in my wall and ran the cable through it, i got over the RGB and seeing my computer all the time

[@TechTesseract]

That's a great idea!

[@raynel8495]

😒How come you don't put the monitor arms in the description? 😡 Like that's a NO BRAINER man. 🙄

how did you know i was thinking you're very original for using wooden panels

Gotta have that 2024 influencer aesthetic so I can start selling a $5,000 crypto course 😂

Ikr 🤣 we'll figure something out xD

[@alexlaletin724]

Only 144hz

[@puredatafind9806]

Hi how are you I'm big fan please 1660 Gpu send me 😅😅

[@roninstormYT]

bro you dont need two monitors get rid of the other one because have you head of picture and picture or picture in picture ????? you can use two devices in 1 monitor aka your 49 inch allot of ya underutilize your equipment i use my 49 inch ultra wide with my consoles and pc split screen welp you have a KVM SWITCH wow it does what i just say .

[@TechTesseract]

Nah I 100% need the 2nd monitor for editing, workflow is so much slower with 1

[@DarthDre]

🤣

[@PcGamingForFun]

you lost me at 1440p . this aspect ratio is just ridiculous

[@TechTesseract]

Would not recommend for fps gamers 🤣

[@PcGamingForFun]

@@TechTesseract yeah gonna have some neck pain after that

[@TechTesseract]

Great for everything else though, especially helps with editing and added immersion is nice for some games

[@GeorgeT96]

Calling this a 'gaming' setup is ridiculous. The stretch you'd get on this monitor on 95% of games is disgusting. Definitely an 'editing' setup to be more realistic

[@TechTesseract]

Oh yeah, 100% 🤣👍 nowadays i spend like 80% of my setup time editing... although I genuinely love gaming on this thing! Not a huge FPS gamer so the immersion factor is probably more important to me

[@sexylol]

This looks awesome, may I ask the link of the monitor arm?
