The Dream Stacked Ultrawide Monitor Setup!

[@spikerthedragonbear]

3:32 I think you forget to mention that Having 2 ultrawides stacked like that is kind of like having 4 monitors, or (slightly better) than a single 4K 50''~70'' TV 4:30 Programs like for example, After effects, require a lot of screen real state, and in other programs, like drawing programs is way easier to draw without having to hide the docks every few seconds. I could suggest a cheaper and smaller 720p or 1080p vertical monitor for chats or notes to have on the side. Also I like how this video keeps things real, because those issues are very real and common ocurrance. I would recommend this to anyone who only uses this system as a Workstation where programs trend to hog up the screen real space, because I think a base ultrawide or two side by side monitors give you enough screen space to work with. (Tbh, programs that are designed to be full screen and have a minimum window size doesn't help this) *I used to use a 4K TV (and a 720p monitor on the side) and the difference is miles ahead than a 1080 monitor, going back to the monitor makes it feel crammed. The only downside to the TV thing is that games that have locked FOV gets impossible to play fullscreen, forced to go windowed.

[@rodneyjones4763]

finally i found a perfect set up. My set up is a little different same stacked monitors but a 32 inch on an arm vertically which i use for chat or vrdeo reference.

[@Superiordee]

Building my setup now, waiting for everything else to come in. Ordered a VIVO electric desk and a second monitor for a similar stacked look.

[@ColeCaccamise]

Dude that’ll look dope!

[@terrauncebowie6712]

Well since you requested, I didn't enjoy my stacked monitor experience. I didn't like tilting my head upwards to look at the screen. Even though stacked is more symmetrical, I'll be rocking my dual monitors side by side half tie fighter style. Much more comfortable to me. 😊

[@TheTekSone]

keep the setup. I am rocking something similar. I came from three 27" in monitors to one 34" ultra wide. While it suits me fine I needed just a little more. In came another 34" ultra wide double stacked. I love it and not regretting anything. If anything, I am looking maybe to adding something down the sides. I love having screen real estate without having to keep resizing/moving windows around. Lazy? Maaaaaybe, do not judge me bro! 😀 My setup? 1. 2018 Mac mini - 3.2 GHz 6-core intel core i7, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 500GB, do not laugh...suiting me perfectly for a non-gamer 2. Dual Samsung C34J791 34-inch 3440 x 1440

[@ColeCaccamise]

Haha nah dude that’s definitely something I’d buy another monitor for 😂 But only 8GB of ram! Cmon! Lmaoo jk definitely a nice setup man! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheTekSone]

Yeah only eight. That is all I need. I only search the web, create documents, watch KZbin on it, etc. I do not do any video creation or rendering, music creation or anything that needs anything higher than 8 GB. Also this version of the Mac mini can be opened if I need more ram installed. Between my 16” MacBook Pro which has 32GB of ram, i7 and 1TB storage, my M1 iPad Pro 11” w/256 GB of storage and my 256 GB cellular iPad mini 6…I am pretty much covered.

[@MaxGarbaty]

I was considering a similar setup, but almost purchased two monitor arms with clamps. I was afraid of this setup being too top-heavy, but with two 24" monitors weighing 6lbs each (and limited access to the back of my desk for clamps) before considering the cost savings, this definitely seems like the way to go. Thanks!

[@ColeCaccamise]

Glad I could help! Enjoy!

@jsetups here bro, really enjoyed the thorough explanation on the Dual Ultrawide Monitor Desk Setup. I love how this experimentation led to such a positive outcome - you being more productive and the overall look of the setup looks even more amazing now! Nice one :D

Great video, looking fantastic. Setting up a dual setup with ,34" Samsungs myself after Christmas... i can't wait

[@xwd7973]

I have a 49" ultrawide G9. I have already ordered a Samsung 34" S34C500 ultrawide. I am going to place the 34" on top. I am exited to see if it will work well for me. That's how I ended up seeing this great video. Needed some inspiration as I wait for everything to be delivered. Also ordered Ergotron HX Monitor Arm med HD Pivot for the 49" and a double vertical stand for the 34". I am just going to use the top slot. I don't know if anyone finds this interesting. But since you asked.

[@ColeCaccamise]

That would be a super cool setup!

[@danielburroughs1473]

Im already rocking stack ultrawide

[@stevenwhoswhatsit7547]

im actually running somewhat similar, i have two 27"s side by sided on a wall mount that pulls out and then have a 40" ultrawide wall mounted above them lets me have the benefit of two side by sides for dif tasks while having the top ultrawide for youtube, slack, spotify just general stuff. I made sure to buy a cheaper one for around 280$ since it was not going to be my main monitor

[@NanceLvr]

I wanna see it. Thinking about the same. You have any post of it??

[@MakronGI]

Got a similar setup, stacked ultrawide, playing and watching youtube or discord or music on the 2nd screen is so satisfying, if u work from home its amazing eye candy.

[@victorblanchard7774]

From ergonomic point of view, the eye should be aligned horizontaly with the top edge of the screen to be optimal. In your config your eye need to make more effort to look on your secondary screen and results more painful to use in you spend time on computer (headicks, neckpains, etc) That’s why I prefer the triple screen config

[@henrik1743]

I have had side to side but I get neck pains, so I think stacked is defi better. Do you mean top of the bottom screen or top screen?

[@VIM731]

Thanks for this video. I likened myself a day trader for a while but that didn't pan out so my designs on a dual monitor setup were nix'd but with the new job I have I could totally use a 2 widescreen monitor setup. I currently have one 34" LG widescreen monitor I've had for not-quite-a-full-year. Since my new work-from-home-job sorta necessitates so yeah, I would rock that setup or similar.

[@MikaTarkela]

And here I am thinking of using 2 ultrawides for sim racing and flying :)

[@ViciousXUSMC]

If this is "overkill" I am not sure what my 27+34+27 with a 2nd 34" on the top is lol. But whats worse its all going, just ordered the Neo G9 57" to replace the bottom row and probably putting a 49" G9 Neo on the top.

[@ColeCaccamise]

lmaoo thats sick af ngl

[@rrp2600]

I love the setup. I would just move the speakers a little to the side and bring the screens down. I don't understand the value of having the speakers underneath.

[@MoeOthman]

Did you ever think about just simply mounting the older 34 inch vertically instead?

[@ColeCaccamise]

Nah not really. I don’t have the space and I think it’s overkill.. though doesn’t mean I won’t do it eventually lmao

[@henrik1743]

I have 32" and I tried having it vertically and its crazy how big it is. I think 27" is the top sweet spot for a vertical.

just got the same setup cuz of this vid, super sick vid man and the production quality is amazing ur mad underrated keep it up

absolut crazy monitor setup looks sick and as long as it fits your needs and workflow its worth 💪🏼 I'm rocking a dual monitor setup with a 34 inch ultrawide and a 27 inch monitor mounted vertical next to it this orientation is also really nice to use 👍🏼

[@ColeCaccamise]

I really like that! What do you use the vertical monitor for mostly? Before I had my ultrawides I briefly ran a setup with two 24s, one of which was vertical and I did really like it.

[@MichaelLewandowski-i8g]

Nice video! As much as I want a 65 inch tv to double as my monitor. I used to do that with my 50" plasma. I like the idea of having 2 monitors now. Space and portability. In the long run I'll get a tv but I have no need for a 65" right now. ​my current monitor is a 28" Asus Tuf 4k 2160 60hz monitor. It's a nice monitor and i can't tell the difference between 60hz and up refresh rate to begin with. I do want a curved monitor though regardless. Maybe 3? One flat and two curved? 😊 @ColeCaccamise

[@michaelp865]

Going to do the same setup. Two LG 34GP83A-B. Thanks!

[@digilocker]

Looks great and definitely thinking of doing the same myself, though really looking for a stand (or a pair of stands) that can accommodate switching the stack. My current ultrawide is 60fps and for colour work, but would love a gaming ultrawide that I could switch vertically between at the end of the day. (Though may look into that LG you have, maybe the best option if the colour accuracy stands up 🙂)

[@ColeCaccamise]

Thanks man! I haven’t seen anything that would let you do that easily, but that would be super nice! I really love ultragear ultrawide though, the 160hz refresh is super nice for games that my gpu can push that far and I still think the colors are very impressive. It’s the perfect do-it-all monitor for me at the moment.

[@zohandvir9606]

Awesome clock under your monitor. Couldn't find it... do you have the link to buy it?

[@DelScully]

what I am struggling with right now is I have an oled 34" monitor as my main monitor for gaming and movies, and then a va dell gaming 34" also but for all my static content, more casual gaming and web browsing. I have them next to eachother atm and kind of just roll my chair between whichever one I want to use, but love the idea of stacked for more desk space and less side to side head movement. I'm not sure which one should go on top is my main issue. I was thinking of doing the oled on the bottom and putting as close to the desk as possible so the middle bar between both will be nearly eye height and the top wont be so high up like in this video so when I am just using it for every day use and work/uni I wont be as annoyed with looking up all the time. But perhaps stacked monitors isn't good for my use case..

[@eyeamdee6209]

New sub. Great video man! I’m rocking with a 27in and 34 in ultra wide.

[@djaydjay3515]

Hey ! Do you think it will be ok for an ultrawide (samsung 49") down and a 27" on top ? Or do you have any other solution ? Like 2 vivo arms maybe ?

[@sonic-bb]

thanks for this vid. The monitor i want to buy is an ultrawide curved monitor lol. So i wanted to see if it was possible and what arm i should get if it is. Your vid helped me out

[@ColeCaccamise]

Glad I could help man! If you check out my latest desk video I actually bought some mounts to use instead of this one that sits on the desk

[@TravisSullyOSullivan]

Did you have any problems mounting multiple 34" monitors to a stand that recommends 30" or less? Was any custom rigging/reinforcement needed?

[@ColeCaccamise]

I’ve had no issues. Worth noting that when stands recommend a screen size it’s in 16:9. The height of a 34” ultrawide is the same as a 27” standard monitor

[@Syekn]

Currently running 2x 27* inch monitors however i was thinking of getting an ultrawide as a secondary instead of running another one in the future. I only realistically need 2 so if i get my hands on an ultrawide soon I'll include that in my setup.

[@ColeCaccamise]

I think having a 27” and ultra wide combo would be really nice. Especially since the two are going to have the same vertical height

[@Syekn]

@@ColeCaccamise I had some idea's however first i need to upgrade my gpu so it can actually keep up with my I9 12900k as well as purchase a new ssd so sadly the Ultrawide is far out of bounds for the moment. I'll prob just get a 3060 ti because i dont need anything overkill haha. Thank you for responding mate.

[@FdezTW]

Great video homie! I probably wouldn't get 2 ultrawide monitors as my desk is way too small to fit monitors with that have a large size, thought I'll probably get a new monitor at some point (most likely a 1440p with a higher refresh rate )because It's a somewhat old monitor that has a 60hz refresh rate.

[@ColeCaccamise]

I appreciate you always brother! That’s fair, I really want to get a larger desk because these monitors take up so much horizontal space. 1440p 144hz is like the perfect middle ground imo, you get thr high refresh rate for gaming or just a smooth desktop experience and 1440 is really clear

[@midinerd]

If you were that into aesthetics (aesthetically-pleasing scenarios, for those into the aesthetics of writing) - you wouldn't have some light mounted to the top of the lower monitor pointing white light directly onto it.

[@ColeCaccamise]

It literally just lights up the desk

[@s1mplyluke683]

Right now im running a 49" with a 27" on top it is the DREAAMMM like i can put up 3 windows on the bottom and 1-2 on the top and read and see all clearly -edit I got the botom 49" for $800 and i got it new its a G9 240hz 1440p (not the cgr9 and not the neo)

Hey bro, just watched this video and it was amazing. I have a question, how do you record your 3440x1440 gaming videos in obs and rescale it into 16:9 or when you want to edit and upload it on youtube which is not really suitable for 34inch monitor?

[@ColeCaccamise]

Thanks man! Recently I’ve just been choosing to record the entire screen in obs which in the edit just leaves black bars since I still export in 16:9. Sometimes though I’ll just zoom in within obs

[@ColeCaccamise]

Also, it doesn’t work great but in windows sometimes I’ll also just change to a 2560x1440 res. Don’t do it too often tho

[@MotooSoul]

@@ColeCaccamise so you record 3440x1440 and in editing software, you export it as 16:9 ? Is that even doable bro?

[@MotooSoul]

@@ColeCaccamise could you put base canvas 3440x1440 and rescale on 2160x1440 on obs?
