Legend says rearranging his desk is his full-time job
LOOOOOOOOL
I got a chuckle out of that one, haha!
I was thinking what content does he create after all his desk setups lol.
😁😁😁 😁😁 same type videos boring and they think it's awesome
@@vincentiPad The videos of him setting up and using his desk, obviously.
imagine having 5 dreams of your desk setup
I get the joke, but just imagine it as a desk setup where he can dream.
He sleeps every night
Cool! but imagine to return back the stuff to sponsors when the deal ends.
@@anguinan lol he’s still getting paid regardless
LOL!!!! :-) hahahah...
This guy's had more desks than I've had hot lunches.
Agreed. His videos are decent, but no "normal" person keeps changing his desk makeovers so many times again and again. He must be getting sponsored by all these companies, which is a good thing, otherwise this makes no sense.
Do you often have hot lunches?
Tom Wakeford do you often have lunch?
Casey Cheung he said it was sponsored by LG. That said, I disagree on no normal person changing. My wife redecorates the house depending on the season, and each year there's new or different stuff. This is similar. If anything, I'd say this now becomes more common as people buy their own equipment for their home offices, or employers see it's cheaper and retains employees better to pay for good equipment for their employees rather than pay for office space and crappy equipment.
I got the 49" Dell in January and am ready to change. It's great for spreadsheets but doesn't have enough height for documents or coding. I'm considering the CX so I can put all my consoles in there and not have to monopolize the media room and its C8 to game. Plus, HDMI 2.1/120 Hz doesn't hurt, and I'm more likely to game instead of work till all hours if it's more convenient. I also have a stand-up desk, but paired with a treadmill and a different Herman Miller chair, the Aeron.
I wish David would incorporate the treadmill so I could see how he adapts things. It's been great for my health (extra 15,000 steps/day) but makes seating difficult, as it's too narrow to sit the chair on, and so wide it makes full use of the monitor challenging. A hydraulic monitor arm would help. I have the Amazon version of his Ergotron and the 30 lb, 49" Dell is too wobbly.
@@davidc2072 If LG gave me a 49" monitor for review that I could keep, I would...no have to...remake my entire desk too. That said, I outgrew my small desk due to excessive gadget purchases during this covid quarantine. So my new 70" XL Autonomous SmartDesk2 electric sit/standing desk is arriving tomorrow! No, I'm not going to make a silly "look at me sitting/lying on the Autonomous desk while I press the button to raise the desk video" like I've seen on other RUclips channels, LOL!
This guy be lying about having a job and going to meetings and being protective with work he just rearranges his desktop on a monthly basis and plays office worker for each video
wow. Nice monitor.
V,, 🥰🤣😊
I know you

Have the same tv for my monitor and it’s freaking awesome!!
What is name of the monitor
The moment when the screen is bigger than most student tables
🤣
😂😂

Me: what is your job? David: showing my table on internet.
@David Zhang how does the 48 inch work for desk? I think it's a TV, does it show the txt good like a monitor? Also, what is the length from your eyes to the monitor? if you are very close it will give you headaches. I wonder how far is it from your eyes? I have a 4k 32 inch viewsonic setup like yours.
@@northwindx79 you can get good and sharp texts , graphics and video details yes being 4K resolution.
if you have Radeon graphs controller, you can configure the size and scale with more options.
@@northwindx79 He is not an programmer or computer engineer like us, he enjoy fashion, playing game and enjoy some movies. honestly my desk is bigger then him but I never thought to by big tv monitor because eyes never fit with width range.
This guys job:
Record himself rearranging his desk
Edit videos of him rearranging his desk
I love how he tells the docking setup enables its full potential while working during the day... then switches to gaming while it is still "the day" 😏
I like the screen! What app are you using you snap your apps in tiles/blocks on the screen? I noticed you have several options for arranging the windows
aquasnap maybe?
Do you actually get any work done or just spend more time rearranging your desk?
His work is exactly rearranging desk
His work is rearrange, then edit the video. And repeat
He doesn't upload daily so He has time to rearrange his desk
This setup is not for MORTALS!
he just arrange his desk and upload the video.
Bruhh that chair is 3x more expensive than my set up
It's probably because you say "bruhh" on the internet.
@@TheDanielShepherd Bruh, but I have that chair.
@@Conti027 srsly? Thats like $1500
@@user-jv4lp2ky4f $1500 now will save me thousands in back surgery and an innumerable amount in future back pain. :)
@@user-jv4lp2ky4f lol 1500 chair and you cant rest your head
Awesome clean set up! Mind telling me where did you get that standing adjustable desk? There are no links for it in the description.. :/
Shame you didn't talk about your audio setup, would've loved to hear more about how you connected the speakers to switch easily between console gaming and PC use
Five seconds in you're turning your head left and down to see the windows start menu icon. A monitor that large is an ergonomic train wreck.
my mom and I are building a pc and u came in my recommended and boi I'm about to go insane for how excited I am
good luck!
I think switching settings of his desk is the sole source of his income. He changes his desk more than I change my socks.
I've used 43" for a while and I found it crazy tiring due to constant X-Y eyes movement.
Switched to ultra wide 49" which required only X axis eyes movement, which is much more ergonomic.
A tv screen or a monitor one?
@@noambinyamin1241, I think he is about something like Samsung Odyssey 32:9
why not get a 90".

Very simple, neat, and clean setup. It gives a feeling to change my one from a messy setup to a clean setup like you. Thank you for sharing.
Wait you still have something missing there. A rack full of foods , a maid to restock your food and a toilet pan. And.. there you go you can spend you can spend your life there.
this looks really fantastic and damn clean but you didn't explain and show how you connected all those systems and with that good cable management. i would like you to make a longer version of this video in which you show how we can connect all these dots.
This ^^
+1 Yes that would be great
Yeah cable management is the hardest and most tedious part to me. I think he has other videos where he covers it. It really helps that he has his desk against the wall. Mine is freestanding and even with grommets it's a lot harder to pull off.
Yes please! I am setting up my work from home set up next month. I have an Xbox, PC, and MacBook Pro I’d like to be able to toggle in between. I’d like to have two monitors and the arm for my MacBook. Would love another video explaining how to manage this all.

i haven't rearranged my desk in over 10 years once I moved into this house other than buying new parts
If it works - leave it as is 👍
I love seeing your desk updates. You were one of the first people to inspire me to create a desk for productivity instead of my usual "throw it all on there and make it work" style. It made a huge difference.
Does the flat screen of the monitor not bother anyone but me? I had a 34" flat widescreen monitor for a few months and it would give me a headache after a couple hours of use since everything felt really far away at the edges. I switched to a 34" curved screen and I don't have that feeling anymore. I wouldn't mind more real estate, so maybe I'll treat myself this holiday season. :)
I love how clean and organized your setup is! Really awesome:)
Awesome! I'm doing something similar here. Question: what's the size of your desk? I'm worried mainly with the depth if I'm gonna put a 48CX in here..
The level of upspeak in this video is giving Joe Rogan a heart attack

@Paul Ryanson nice try
Legend says David never leaves his desk...[great set up as always! It must be nice to have OLED screen as the monitor lol
I love this series
( would love a budget-dream desk setup video)
Thanks!
why do you think like mediocre ? "budget-dream"
can you target a better life?
Heyy! Anyone here know the size of the actual desk? :o
Love how you list the pros and the cons with everything great tour
using the tv like that was so intuitive. looks really dope with the windows laid out like different monitors; clean and creative man
I am using the programm "Synergy" by Symless to use my PC inputs for my laptop aswell. It works perfectly and my laptop feels like a second screen. :)
I tried it and had a lot of trouble with my work PC losing connection. Might be VPN related. I like the physical switch he uses, especially if also connecting to Mac and PC at the same time.
@@davidc2072 Synergy is cross-platform. I also use it with my work laptop that is connected to VPN and it works perfectly. You might want to revisit it at some point. 1000x better than using a physical switch.
His system is gasping for air flow in that cabinet space
I am assuming the cabinet is open at the back?
2:34 which program do you use to tile your screens? Thanks!
nView Desktop Manager, think it comes with windows. Right-Click to select it. In Desktop Manager there's "Gridline Editor" To configure, then in "Windows Manager" you can check off "Enable nView EdgeSnap"
Wow! This is a video on all the stuff that I cannot afford. 300 USD on keyboard? and a TV in which I cannot play fullscreen games? Yikes!
🧐This is a Magnificent evolution of technology.. 10 years ago you'd be called crazy for putting a behemoth display like these
Lo and behold in 2020 finally the monitor grew to the sizes of basically a tv but on your desk😂🤣😂
Seriously now it's a relief to saw that it's okay to put a display that technically a Tv on work desk!!!
OLED near a window doesn't sound great
I agree glossy screens do require me to use my blinds when it's sunny. But glossy screens look more vivid than matte for videos. So it's a tradeoff
Just use blackout curtains. Shields you from the sun and it comes with the added benefit of shielding you from air raids as well :)
@@sandercohen3309 blackout curtains are definitely the way to go.
@@wazenight he's joking- like bombings
Sander Cohen or shutters. I have both and the shutters are more flexible for office areas. But the blackout shades are sweet (especially Lutron Serena motorized) for media and bedrooms.
Bro that console is not properly cooled 😭😭
The improvised, one area 'rack-system' is good idea.
Peripheral sources all together.
Something about a "TV" for a monitor, has never sit well with me.
Especially an OLED one
I can relate to that. I have a Samsung Q9F 4K and is good as the TV picture is, it's not quite there as a monitor so I am curious about Davids LG seeing he's a guy who demands the best.
@@chrisd0407 OLED has the best picture quality... you cant get a monitor with a better picture. QLED is good, but still can't touch OLED for contrast ratios
@@Silentslayer998 Possibly right but screen burn-in is a risk I would rather not take. For now I will stick with dedicated monitors.
I use one in my music studio. the main problem is that is too damn big and if you move it back a lot to make it smaller, idk it ends up feeling very detached from the system and quite weird.
maybe with an oled is different, because if you use it as an ultrawide, the black bezels are truly black
По моему стало только хуже. Не представляю как с таких огромным телевизором работать вблизи и как от этого не охреневают глаза. На расстоянии потреблять контент, не спорю, будет комфортно, но ведь это еще и рабочее место. Короче, немного автор перемудрил )))
тупо рекламный видос
Не согласен. Мне для работы необходимо минимум 4 монитора или 6 в оптимально формате. Иметь один большой дисплей наоборот помогает шее и глазам, ибо нужно меньше двигать глазами и головой в разные стороны, что бы найти нужную информацию на нужном дисплее.
Сорс: с марта из-за ковида дома вынужден был работать на 65 дюймовом тв и это оказалось сильно удобнее 6ти 19 дюймовых мониторов.

1 week later: Dream Desk Setup v6.0, with 100in monitor and VR headset for ultimate work and play. 😝
How close to the wall can you get the display with that stand? Want a CX but my desk is ~25” deep.
Only Dream?Nooooo I Can Setup This...
The screen is so immersive
What application do you use to snap the windows at 2:34 ?
I want to know the program also
It should be Windows 10 Power Toys' Fancy Zones feature :)
could be displayfusion
It is DisplayFusion, he made a video about it, quite some time ago: ruclips.net/video/DuIK-NuN3aY/видео.html
@@otatoq2386 Nah, looks like he's switched to Fancy Zones. UI doesn't look like DisplayFusion and that video is kinda old at this point.
that tv hurts my eyes but its so beautiful to look at HAHA
Big screen like this is not good for up-close everyday work unless the big screen is curved so your eyes will not be strained.
Its only good for watching movies or console games from a distance.
There are several mistakes in this desk setup.. Apparently are some good ideas.. but don´t.. I know for almost the same personal experiences ... The consecuences are head, neck and trapezius pain..
What was the application you were using to manage application sizing on the desktop? I am amazed that it allowed you to drag across multiple sections.
In am curious too
Microsoft PowerToys I believe. They're beta on Github.
Do you use any custom software to manage windows like that? I have a big 43 inch 4K TV and would love to arrange my windows more easily
Powertoys
hi, your video is amazing! The desk looks great. Is there a link for that? Thx.
What is that window clipping program you are using?
If you don't mind me asking, I would love a link to this particular desk. This would be the perfect addition to a setup I'm planning.
Wonderful desk setup btw!
He did a dream desk setup and didn’t talk about the desk 🤣🤣
@@Btburkhardt Literally the reason why I watched the video. I need a good desk, and I haven't found one like this yet
I don't know bro, your ultrawide Dell was still the end game in my opinion...
I agree for productivity. Ultrawide is easier to manage for multitasking. But when watching RUclips, or playing console games in 16:9. It's basically a 27" monitor that feels lackluster at times.
100% agree with you on this one Luis
The big screen is cool, but the ergonomics still needs an upgrade.
Few weeks later:
Dream desk 12.02: Work, play, sleep, shit, bathe, productivity
And make love
Hi looks like a cool setup and appreciate you sharing. Who made the desk and what size is it?
Take Care, Blessings Always
Everyone is in this world is not Lucky unfortunitly
1:42 "The cable length reduces the bandwidth in half" - Really???
Not if you use an active cable.
Because it uses thunderbolt, it needs to pass along power supply along with high-speed data transfer. So cables longer than 18 inches will have a reduction in bandwidth. As Fabiano mentions, you could get an active cable (this is not what is supplied with the dock, because active cables are generally more expensive, sometimes much more so.)
"It's still a work in progress"

We need your desk setup arrangement from Scratch 😀🤣😂
step by step 😀🤣😂
I think u should not use tv as monitor because it will harmfull for ur eyes if u watch it closely.
too bad for eyes when you are sitting too close to such a large display.
Damn you change your setup more then i change my underpants! Do you just sell all your previous stuff? You must lose a lot of money
When you making money off a RUclips video on something you reviewed 4 years ago, in fact he isn’t losing. He is making money even after giving his stuff away.
I believe a lot of the stuffs are free, and there must be some manufactors pay him money for using their products in his video...
He should just call these reviews instead of mis leading viewers to think it's his actual set up
Majin Gamer true if its all given to him free to review he should disclose it
@@SJHD
Exactly
I'll stick with my U4919DW.
@John M LOL. And I will stick with my $200 (on clearance) 40" 4K Samsung, 16:9 is so much more versatile for my work/play than an ultrawide
I have the same one and it's too wide for me, partly because I sit on one side and the treadmill is on the other. I end up using about 2/3 at once. I like that I can do that but it looks janky. It's also heavier than the CX which means I can't move it easily on the arm.
Which costs as much as an OLEd TV, which is the kind of retardation that makes me buy an OLED TV monitor.
What is this man’s job other than making his dream desk every other week?
Do you enjoy looking into that big glossy TV that close all day? The OLED is amazing, but this seems like torture ergonomically. The clue to me is that you've put a lot of your main work area into a strip at eye level, with all that space above just running random moving desktops to avoid screen burn in. I see all of the stands for camera and lighting in the TV glass, I can only imagine the mess of reflections you are seeing looking straight into the screen, especially if the wall behind you is light colored or white.
I think you had it made with your 49" ultrawide setup. Couldn't you just go over to a TV when you wanted to watch one?
Sponsored by LG..But ofcourse he would go with this glossy mess regardless if he was sponsored by them or not 😉
Now give it to me😊
“27" or 34"?”
“Yes”
*Straight Facts ~*
1. It's Looks Clean Beautiful and Modern.
2. We cant afford it.
*Gay Facts ~*
1. That's hecc of an expensive chair without a headrest.
2. TV to Sit and Work that close for Long time may harm Eyes More than Monitors.
3. i mean... Love you Dude.
I can't type when my laptop is shaking like that.
That setup is gorgeous. Mine looks like crap because all my work is everywhere LOL

I love the CX48 and was considering using it as a PC monitor. But I opted for the LG850 34". I just prefer the CX48 as a general tv and console gaming screen. If LG came out with a smaller version of the CX I'd be all over that for a PC monitor
Thank you for your videos, David. The editing, narration and camera work are all top tier. You've inspired me to transition my setup from a 34" PG348Q ultrawide to either the Samsung G9 or the 48 CX. I just wanted to know what your desk depth dimension is. Mine is 30" and I'm a little weary whether I would be able to accommodate the screen either screens at a comfortable viewing distance. I'll be purchasing the Ergotron HX Monitor Arm too.
would love to see the cable management on this.
the first thing i notice 'thats not a pc that's a tv'
ALLAH PAK HUM SUBKO CORONAVIRUS SAY MEHFOOZ RAKHAY AMEEN.
I feel like if it was me I would have kept the 32:9 for the desk monitor, and stuck to gaming on a separate TV somewhere more comfortable like in a different room with a sofa or something.
Precisely, independent screens and areas would be better for productivity and console gaming.
Watching the upper part of the "monitor" is an ergonomic nightmare. So is typing on a laptop hovering way over the desk surface.
Did you watch the video though? He's not using the top section of the display while using his pc, only when leaning back going full screen on media.
Also states in the vid that you can use the laptop like that for answering the occasional email, it's not intended for any extended period of time..
Looks like a good ergo setup to me.
thanks for always putting out interesting, quality content. I have a couple of questions: 1. Why do people complain about micro usb or other connections on devices? Especially on a keyboard, I don't understand why USB C matters. Most laptops or even desktops have very limited number of USB C connections anyway. 2. Can you recommend any other options for the monitor arms? I get the HX is premium, but it is quite expensive as well as the OLLIN. I think the OLLIN was about $400. If there's a discount code, or other options let us know. 3. With the LG OLED, have you had any issues sitting close to it and what is the app you are using for split screen? It doesn't look like the split screen app LG has for their monitors. 4. Do you have a recommended chair alternative that does have the headrest? 5. Why do you play your games (PC) in windowed mode vs full screen?
