how big is monitor? 23-24" or 27-28"? Do you find icon, menus, etc.. too small because of 4k? Do you know what panels your monitor has TN or IPS? How satisfied are you with colors?
Oh yeah, forgot to give the size! It's a 27" IPS panel (matte finish) with USB-C support. The brightness and colors are amazing in my opinion, but I've seen a couple complaints that it differs from a MacBook's glossy display. I'll definitely take no glare over a little inconsistency though.
Some fair points! I personally prefer slotting my laptop below the monitor so I can have a semi-dual monitor setup. Putting it to the side is a possibility... But it might be too out of the way to be useful as a secondary monitor. Happy to experiment tho once I invest in a keyboard and mouse (or magic trackpad)!

I agree with space for resting the arms, and I think 2 screens better than one always, Ben only need a laptop support and set both screens at the same distance. Then the arms rest space will appear.
I'm not agree with mechanical keyboard, this has nothing to do on typing skills, and you'll cause much more noise without a reason. If you gonna play some FPS it's OK if you are this kind of people that really think you will perceive 4ms less on response time but for work?
Gimme that soft low-profile keys please! You can go for a Logitech G815 or G915 which lets you type faster with a short press per key, it will make you feel less tired after coding for hours.
Some like Macbook or Huawei laptops, which also come with built-in soft low-profile keyboards, but having it on an external keyboard improves the experience by hundred.

Here's the amazon listing: amazon.com/LG-27UD88-W-LED-Lit-Mon...
Bought this a couple years ago though, and it looks like they came out with a newer, cheaper model: amazon.com/LG-27UK850-W-Monitor-Co...
Few opinions on your setup, if I may:

I respect the monitor dedicated to Blank Banshee
Ayyyyy someone got the reference! Mega’s my favorite vaporwave album hands down. So much clever sound panning and production 🙏
Insert some joke about "My Machine" here 😘
and last, but not least, a box of Swedish snus! 💪🏼
The chocolate key caps and wood shell look killer on that anne pro!
Thanks! Took ages to get all the parts. Now, all I'm missing is the components to build the custom cable:
Your screen is really clear and same for contents ! 👏☕
I dont think I have anything secret on there, just a bunch of reddit tabs, so no worries! 😅
But your theme. This is natif on IOS?
No, it's something I've put together myself; it's a combination of:
github.com/simskij/dotfiles
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-m...
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-s...
and possibly more that I've not yet bothered pushing to github. 🤓
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to styling chrome and slack yet.
Oh nice colors! I'm thinking of testing Spicetify. Thanks!
Thanks! Here's a clearer picture of the desktop and theming.
Nice playlist! lol
gonna copy that, just letting you know.
Go for it! 💪🏻
Where do you find keycaps for that keyboard?
Wherever they sell cherry mx compatible keycaps. I personally prefer doubleshot pbt keycaps.
Some suggestions:
mechanicalkeyboards.com/
candykeys.com/
kbdfans.com/
kprepublic.com/
Thanks! I am wanting to get a mechanical keyboard.
It's a mixed setup of home and office hardware atm, thats why there is the cable mess, but I'm still happy with that :)
The monitors are amazing. I imagine you work a lot with design and colors?
I wish I could say yes, but actually I just like to have a lot of space and not always have to change the foreground program. ;D
What is your choice/opinion about following:
I am either doing this 100% wrong or 100% right
My nice-looking workspace.
This is the way.
Mess!!!

Samsungs are 4k or HD? TN vs IPS panels?
