Desk Setup Tour 2024 - My ULTIMATE 4 in 1 Work & Gaming Station

[@ThisIsE]

It took me a while, but my desk setup is finally complete. A few hours into shooting this video, we figured out last-minute changes were required, so we put everything on hold and got back to tweaking the setup to make perfect sense with all the devices. 1 mouse and 1 keyboard to control 1 Mac, 1 PC, and 1 iPad. 2x 27" monitors and 1 iPad to run multiple display scenarios for 4 operating systems. 1 set of speakers to run them all - I couldn't be happier. Let me know if you have any questions.

I was wondering if I could use a m2 ipad Pro to run the primary monitor like you did with the m3 macbook and if it will behave the same like if I used a macbook❤

[@ThisIsE]

Yeah, it can. I actually have a guide on how to use an iPad with a monitor, and some ideas for desk setups. Maybe that will help you out.

[@SigurdRøed]

@@ThisIsE thank you! very quick answer nad very helpful. def going to check it out have a nice day!

Although I am too broke to afford such setup, it always feels nice to see you creating such a great setup. All things work together so well.

This is awesome. I always love how clean your setups are. I have a similar set up and love it, with the exception of getting the microphone to work when my macbook is in clamshell mode. Suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks. Which mic are you trying to use while clamshell mode?

Every time I’m watching your videos I’m learning something SUPER useful! This Logitech flow blew my mind and didn’t know about it even I’m using Mx keys and mouse for a year now haha 😂 Thanks a lot 🙏 🎉

Best use of light in the video.. visual masterpiece ❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much 😀

You may consider to download a little software called Twinkle Tray. I use it to change the brightness or turn off my monitor without actually using that button on the bottom side of my monitor.

10:27 that mix is awesome man, where can we get it

[@elnorro]

For PS5 games recommendations. They are all story driven top quality games i hope you enjoy :) 1) Ghost of Tsushima 2) God of War series 3) Uncharted series 4) Spiderman series 5) Red Dead Redemption 2 6) Witcher 3 7) The Last of Us series

[@ThisIsE]

Number 1 has been recommended the most. I appreciate the effort you put into this

[@rzlb5]

Good job, i am impressed.

[@ThisIsE]

Thanks ☺️

[@SaigonEye]

Like the setup and see it quite similar to mine, which got three working display: one Samsung 32 inch Viewfinity + Macbook Pro M3 14 inch + Ipad 12,9 Pro (although it all with MacOS not Window)👌. Love much the periferal flow working (I am using Magic Keyboard ID touch + Magic Trackpad + Logitech MX Master 2S (by the way would u tell me what is better between 2S and 3 or 3S later on? Cause I tried and see not much difference at all) and move cursor to the edge and I think it is much more smooth in only OS.✌ The multifunction desk is awsome and make you really want to work instead. Thanks for sharing E!👍

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you! The 3S has a better sensor and it is SUPER quiet to work with so it is a recommendation on my end.

[@AlvaroAvalos]

This is really awesome, I'll look into those speakers since I'm missing a pair

[@ThisIsE]

I wasn't so impressed when I first got them but now that I've expanded their potential I really glad I got them.

Where did you get the AirPods Max See through Covers.

[@ThisIsE]

Amazon. Spiegen I think

[@owentaylor6538]

What monitor stand/mount is being used to get that 27-inch above the Apple Studio Display?

[@josecarlosramirez3227]

You can also use the iPad as a second monitor for the PC using Space desk!

[@ThisIsE]

Thanks for the rec. I'll check it out

[@MrWleech56]

Do you have a link for the monitor stand ??

[@ThisIsE]

It’s a basic two monitor vertical stand. I probably have a link in my Dual Monitor Guide

[@adrianismh_]

I wonder if the tabletop could handle an 34" ultrawide + a 27" on top of it (both hang on a vertical arm), I got a LINMON table top also from IKEA, tried to attached a monitor arm holding only a 34" ultrawide but after a while the table top cracked

[@ThatMacCat]

Looks great.

[@ThisIsE]

Thanks

[@diptenduXD]

That setup is absolutely stunning. Gonna build the same someday 😉

[@ThisIsE]

You can do it!

how do you turn the mac on in clamshell mode? i have the caldigit but i didn't know i could turn my laptop on from it

[@tantran2711]

May I ask what is the vertical mount for 2nd monitor?

[@ThisIsE]

Basic one from Amazon. Nothing special

[@marcinpik4003]

Nice video! I'm looking for speakers that can play sound from 3 inputs simultaneously, but excluding BT. Can you recommend any model?

[@ThisIsE]

Not on top of my head tbh

[@DyslexicMitochondria]

Hey man i have a question. I currently use studio display but have heard great things about the fluidity of 144 hz panels. I don't play games, so can you tell me how big of a difference 144hz is vs 60 hz in day-to-day tasks like video editing or web browsing

[@ThisIsE]

144hz is buttery smooth to use even for daily tasks, but I wouldn’t call it a life changing feature or a feature worth sacrificing other monitor factors. If I have to sacrifice high refresh rate for color accuracy I would 100%

[@DyslexicMitochondria]

@@ThisIsEdoesn’t it feel a bit jittery and odd when you switch from 144hz to 60

Great setup and video 🙂 I’m thinking about changing the monitors from side by side to on top of each other like you did. But don‘t you get neck pain when looking up to the second monitor for a longer time?

I lean on the chair a lot, plus the top monitor is secondary and don’t use it as much as the primary one.

Try Synergy over Flow for everything other than file transfer. No lag at all.

You should swap out those white JBL´s to a pair of Genelec speakers/monitors, like Genelec G Three or Four (Four is overkill though for a desk).... Quality Hi-Fi that'll last forever. And if you really want to splash some cash for the best of the best... Genelec The ones 8331A

Oh my, they look awesome. Thanks for the recommendation

[@vong4518]

@@ThisIsE Friend has G Fives with his TV (Overkill!) and G Two’s in his office… Genelecs are highly regarded as the best, and they weigh a ton since it’s a aluminum casing. Look into them, i bet you’ll like them… The sound profile is phenomenal, and ALOT of high profile artists and studios use them (Especially Genelec The Ones)… G-lineup is more for us mere mortals :D

These are (in my opinion) the best games on PS5 right now: Story, Action, & Stealth All-In-Ones: The Last of Us (Part 1 & 2) Spider-Man (1 & 2) Spider-Man: Miles Morales Visually Appealing Games: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Horizon (Zero Dawn & Forbidden West) God of War Ragnarok RPG: Hogwarts Legacy Stray I’m sure there are so many more not in this list, but these are just the ones I have played and can personally recommend.

[@skumar3395]

Oh I can really feel how easy the Hexcal Studio would make my life. But unfortunate for me, there's no viable option to buy it in India. The only option here is to make it myself. And that would be a way too expensive proposition. Anyways, it always a pleasure to see the possibilities an unlimited budget can bring.

Much appreciated! If you are able to create something like Hexcal youself, you should do a business out of it 🙂

[@APintWillDo]

I’m not being facetious. Why multiple devices when 1 is running, others remain idle? Why multiple displays? You can’t look at 2+ monitors at the same time without split brain and cross eye. Is turning your head so much more comfortable than switching windows or relying on good window management? Do the benefits of running additional comps and displays outweigh the energy costs to you and the environment? I’ve returned to single monitor for life and will always shutdown or sleep idle devices and displays. On the other hand, I see a benefit to being able to quickly transfer files between devices. For me tho, this is rare and I could get by with cloud services. Great video. I found a lot of new features to think about. I’m not spending $150 on a fancy clock tho kek. I wish I had an M3 CPU too.

[@mihneaaleman193]

I never understood people with stacked monitors, why is it so efficient?

Because if you set it right, it requires less movement of your head and takes as much desk space as a single monitor setup.
