One of the cleaner setups I've seen.

How are you finding working on a big screen vs say a dual setup?

I’m definitely liking it.

Simpler to manage than multiple monitors and more overall software-driven flexibility. I can continue to make better and better use of my window manager.

I do need a bigger desk so I can back up a bit. It’s currently a little too close to my face.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.
With my 22" dualies, when I want one to sit vertically I have to prop it with some wine boxes :D

Haha, yeah, that screen is the same size as the table it seems!
It looks like you can get a narrower field of view with a setup like that. I find myself leaning over to sides sometimes just to see the outer edges of my screens.

Nice, like how the monitor is at a higher level than the tabletop by design. 👌

This is interesting! @skryking are you quite tall, or lean back at your desk?

I tend to lean back a bit, I'm about 5' 9" so not overly tall. I find having the big screen on top forces me to move my neck more which helps prevent neck stiffness and pain.

And my real last name is not even lampe :D

Didn't know that this can be a real last name ;)

Lampe is actually the German word for lamp/light.

It's also the surname of some Germans from Westphalia that moved to the US in the late 1800s.

My workspace is a work in progress for sure, but I like it! This is the desk I use working 100% remote.

This workspace is about to get a HUGE upgrade.

The transformation is complete. 2019 2.3 GHz 8-core Core i9 MacBook Pro w/ 32GB of RAM and eGPU w/ 8GB RX580. 2 1080p monitors, 1 iPad mini monitor, 2X 4TB external hard drives to backup w/ redundancy, Magic Keyboard 2, Magic Trackpad 2, coffee cup coaster, wireless charger, pair of Sony headphones.

Do find getting the eGPU is worth it? I have the same MacBook Pro, but I didn't change out the GPU so just the Radeon 560x. I recently got the 4k LG and had a Lenovo usb-c monitor, however I have noticed when plugged into the external displays my build times have increased dramatically.

my desk set up at the office. I prefer a larger monitor, 32 inch, rather than duel monitor setup.

This is my sit/stand desk in standing position.

Here's by blog entry on building it

You may also find my presence sensor of interest. A little bit of desk automation.

THIS IS AWESOME. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've seen someone have a writing area! I'm always curious whether noone has a special dedicated space for this!!

I know right!
Computer screens block creativity, especially when I'm writing lyrics, so that's why I like to have an "analog space".

Just re-arranged my office the other week. To the right of this, I have two other tables for building stuff and a printer.

I plan to get new monitors later and put them on adjustable stands. Also really looking forward to AMD Zen 2 processor upgrade to my machine.
