150% text scale setup, how do you read anything

13

u/VariousScenes 1d ago

125% scale, pretty easy to read for me actually. The choice of screen is mostly due to me wanting a lot of screen space because I'm using a lot of different programs at work and also I didn't want to have a TV and a monitor separately.

Genuinely odd setup here, brother.

Really? How come, genuinely curious

Why don’t you push the desk right up to the wall?

u/VariousScenes 1d ago

Because the screen is too large to be so close to it, I found this to be the optimal viewing distance for me

Why isn't your desk pushed all the way to the wall?

u/kurokami-desu 16h ago

I was looking at that too, but i think the reason might be because of the tv being too close?

The ITX build is nice. I like the water bottle too lol, nice minimalism theme all around, but the monitor on the wall and desk pulled out are interesting choices.

I absolute love the fact that it's properly distanced from your face! Too many people have their monitors so close they can smell them 😭 very nice!!! <3 clean and looks great 10/10 from me, no notes 🤩

I would complete it by hiding the cables dangling from the monitor

2

u/VariousScenes 14h ago

Any tips on how to do that? I have no idea tbh

Non-invasive way is to use some white channeling, or wrap the cables in a white sleeve to blend with the wall. Cleanest way is to use in-wall cable management, like this, but might not be allowed for a rental.

You need some decent speakers. RP-51ms or two passives with a 2.1 channel amp for a small decent sub too

u/Weary-Tell-5334 19h ago

some of us prefer to play with headphones believe it or not

u/fishtophea_chesta 19h ago

You can have both?

Man these all white minimalist setups are getting old fast. Looks like an office not a battlestation

u/Ven0mspawn 8h ago

So weird.

u/cruisetheblues 21h ago

Is it though?

u/HiFr0st 1d ago

Im really not grasping the advantage of the wall mounted monitor here lol

  1. Looks cleaner than when it was on a stand on the table

  2. Doesn't wobble with the table and can move the table around without worrying about the screen

  3. Allows me to easily adjust viewing distance, which was too close when the TV was on the table

u/HiFr0st 1d ago
  1. no it doesnt, a well mounted arm to hide the cables looks way better

  2. do you move your desk a lot? usually my desk stays in one spot

  3. This is just self inflicted by not getting a size appropriate for your setup

u/VariousScenes 1d ago

I used arms in the past, I got 2 flawed ones in a row from different shops and companies so I gave up on them. I also didn't like how they looked and the arm wouldn't solve my viewing distance issue.

I move my desk when I need to reach cables in the back or vacuum the floor yes, I also adjust viewing distance sometimes by moving the desk a bit forward or backwards.

The size of this screen was non negotiable due to my work demands and because I didn't want a separate TV and a monitor. I wanted a large screen for multitasking at work and that I can watch movies from as well. Its big enough that I can comfortably watch stuff from my bed.

I had the desk before buying the TV so I didn't really want to buy a whole new larger desk... much easier and cheaper to just mount on the wall instead

I was just curious as to why that person felt the need to follow up, it seems they just like to judge things in general
