Loving the new wallpaper pack, and the desk is clean af.
Definitely monitor arms! They are a life saver for supporting my posture and positioning at the desk, don’t know what I would do without them.
Got the exact same monitor one month ago and I love it!! Great choice, Marko 👏
Recommend a monitor arm for sure, I personally decided to go for the Invision MX400 which seems to be great choice so far.
@@Guzelseylerzamanalir Working on a new project for the channel, no worries 🙂
This is a great setup. I found myself in a similar Mac-related conundrum when I was upgrading from my 1080p ultrawide screen. I ended up buying a 4K 27" Dell U2720Q (the precursor to your (U2723QE). I liked it so much that I bought additional two, for a total of three 4K displays. I bought a Razer's GPU enclosure and a Radeon RX 580 GTS to drive them and I couldn't be happier. 1 thunderbolt cable to plug my Macbook in and out for an extra three displays. Sadly, I don't think Apple Silicon supports eGPUs anymore.
The three screens are an absolute productivity powerhouse. I used to run them both in horizontal-horizontal-vertical and horizontal-horizontal-horizontal configurations and both were excellent. I would highly recommend it.
great video Marko! I think the suggestions you made were very good - would definitely benefit from a desk mount and a desk shelf. keep up the great videos!
I am realy looking forward to see full desk setup in the future. Monitor arm for sure are definitely the right choice. :)
thanks for the wallpaper, mate!! love them a lot
Great choice on the monitor. I would recommend adding a monitor riser and also not having the other walls painted black. Furthermore a couple plants on the desk and a stereo speaker set could be useful.
Why he shloudnt have the walls painted black? is there any reason? hahah
@@imyhon9049 it’s mainly subjective but it makes the room look a whole lot bigger if he painted it a gray or white.
Great monitor choice! Have you considered getting a vertical desktop stand to avoid placing your MacBook beneath the monitor? Love your videos, cheers!
WOW!! I like sooo much those monitors! Such like your videos! Great choice Marco! Greatings from Italy! :)
Thanks for those awesome wallpapers!
Hi Marko , Congratulations on your New PC Setup , Vedio is Great , Keep us the Good Work! Cheers from Sri Lanka
I like good cable management solutions that use out-of-the-box thinking, and this was a good one!
My man is here.❤
@@tamalchakraborty5346 Hey. Of course - Marko is the goat!
Hey thanks for the support guys! Woah Alex, I just subscribed, awesome channel!
Your Macbook fitting just right in there between those 2 monitor stands was kind of satisfying... Still I would recommend to go with monitor arms, since it makes your desk a lot cleaner, not only for looks and astethics but also for simple desc space. For example you could have a sound bar / notepad / deco plants right under your floating monitors :)
Amazing, Marko!
Cheers from Brazil!
Hey Eduardo, thanks! 😃
Hi Marko, desk setups never seems to evolve to a point when it is finally done 😁
I myself have Dell P2422H good monitor hve to say, but I am thinking of getting a 27".
Great video as always 😉
Hi Marco, I've been following you for a while and I really like your content. I personally do repairs around the house and I have two monitors that I consider, and recommend to you, to hang on the wall. The other option is obviously to use monitor arm for the both monitors, but I personally like the idea of not seeing the stand.
The quality is fire as always! ❤🔥
Hey thanks! 😊
vids from setup wars maybe if there's minimalist edition if you're into that will probably help for inspiration for your upcoming new desk setup! looking forward to see ur new desk setup tho😁
A monitor arm would be really nice. an other thing that you could try is if it is possible to remove the laptop from the table. so it is only the two monitors keyboard and mouse on the table. That would give you a minimal look, and increase focus on the task at hand.
Excellent choice Marko! If you want an arm for for monitors, i can recommend the ELG F160N. Love your videos! Greetings from Paraguay!
I would recommend a dual monitor mount to keep both displays level, a nice mouse pad would do your setup wonders. lastly maybe some speakers if you dont want to listen to the mac speakers
Hi Marko, love your minimalist set up! which monitor arm do you use it?
got one of these as the 32inch in the office, great screen. for my personal rig, i’ll probably go with a ultrawide in the future though
I have the same monitors and I use on the wall is amazing monitors and for montage video and also for video games. Thank you sharing this video love from Greece I can’t wait next your video ❤️
standing desk - monitor arm - fake plant - simple is the ultimate sophistication. I would go with a ultrawide - 32 now and I am just sharing apps not full screen or switching on mac monitor :) . My next monitor will be a 49 inch
Nice video Marko! Excellent quality as always.I have a question, is the mouse mx master 3s very fluid? Because in Windows I do very well, but on Mac it is not completely fluid. When I connect it via bluetooth
Will you make video about your vscode extentions, frameworks you use, programming api's etc.?
Hey Marko, great video and nice monitor choice 😊 Which software have you used for wallpaper creation?
Great video marko! I have a question ¿What are the measures of your desk? I really like the style and the space you have.
Come on Marko, use your own wallpapers 😂. They are fantastic, I've been using them and loving it so far.
I like it, a very simple minimalistic setup.
Beautiful setup Marko! I prefer one 4k monitor between 27" and 31", I'm used to using macOS's Spaces, key shortcuts to my fav apps (Raycast app allows me to) and Arc browser. Cheers from Argentina!
Good starting setup Marko,
Maybe you need a large mouse pad like a fancy carpet👍
I have a question about the HDMI cable that you got with the monitors,
Did your PC have a plug-in for it already?
Or must you buy a unique converter for it?
Got the same monitor, works great!
llevo rato sin mirar tus videos, porque me relajan y aprendo un poco el ingles, y mira ahora tienes nuevos monitor y un mejor set up, nada mal
Great choice, I had to use the same model with you Dell Ultrasharp U2422H 23.8 inch, it is very nice
yeah a dual monitor arm would be awesome, nice setup either way
HI Marko, nice setup, I just want to know which thunderbolt cables you're using to connect the monitor to your mac, thank you
Good Quality! Like Always. Got new job and excited to go office. Please try to upload daily videos. Your videos made me relax
Bought the same last March. Great monitor!
Awesome, I'm very excited to get it 😃
I'm using what is essentially the previous generation of your monitors (U2718q). A major issue with this model was the "dead pixel" - a single white pixel on the monitor which occurs about 1 month into use. Happened to my monitor. Not the end of the world, but kind of annoying on a $650 CAD... Wondering if you've experienced that issue on the newer version? Great set up BTW.
Nice Video !
In 2 Days i start my job as a Software Developer, Im so excited :D
Hey, that's amazing I'm excited for your new job!
Thank you 😃@@withmarko
nice monitor, i love it !!
Great video! Which monitor stands are you using? The black ones @1:42
I have one of those 4k monitors at my work, they're very nice
A must have for the desk setup is a rubber ducky, as a programmer you absolutely should have one
Marko, when using 2 monitors instead of 1 superwide you have to click two times to take any action on the monitor that is not in use. Does that not bother you or is there a workaround for it?
Hi,
I also use 2 4K displays but ... I use an older iMac 5K in my office. And to be honest, the 5K display is waaaay better than my 4K screens from Eizo. If I had to decide again I would definetly go for a single 5K Cinema display (or for two if I an afford it).
The image quality is noticeably better.
One has do decide if this justifies the significantly bigger invest.
That's being said I am quite happy with 2x 4K displays. I am pretty sure that you will not regret it. :)
Best from Germany!
Niels
Hey Mark, please can you suggest how can I learn such smooth and awesome video editing like you and the tools I can use. Can you make a video on detail on it please.
Monitor arms will definitely help to free up space. Desk shelves will let you hide unnecessary items on your desk (books, macbook, pens, etc.). Instead of using tape, you could invest in reusable velcro tape for the cables - makes it easier to re-adjust whenever you need to. Not sure about your cables situation under the desk, but personally I use a cable management tray and just chuck the power strip in there along with any stray cables
Totally agree! I am using two Dell displays (2720Q & 2718Q) with Dell double arms. I added a Dell double arms to the setup and it helped a lot.
Definitely a good choice. Apple has pretty good products, but you're never sure if all the cables will be in or if they're calling $50 for it. I've also recently noticed that these newer Dell monitors look very good, because of those minimal bezels. IMO they're better than the Apple Studio Display.
Hey Marko, I was wondering where did you buy the table from? Or was it custom made? I have to make most sense of my 'home office', whilst the desk has to be in our living room, since I do not have a dedicated office room. And also, I would need really long desk, as my wife would also need the space for her laptop. Love the minimalistic look, something I am also looking forward to. I am bit 'stuck', because I bought the Alienware OLED (Ultrawide Monitor for gaming) and the current table does not offer the support to mount a monitor arm.. so looking into new table / desk. :)
Alright, now I know why you got those monitors hahaha they're good for your usage and the screen resolutions are good 😊
i have the same monitor in office of my company and there is 1 thing that i really want to add to it. 144hz. coz if u use macbook pro with pro motion display there is a contrast between 60 hz in monitor
hey marko screen you can attach a small speaker under the screen, that type of speaker is Dell brand: dell slim soundbar sb521a
The sound quality sounds very good
Nice and clean set up
Thanks! 😊
Get 1 monitor arm with 2 arms, makes for a very clean look
Definetly add monitor arms this would help with one stand and cable management + docking station.
EDIT: Just got to the part of the video where u mentioned it :D...
Marko, this might be a stupid question, but you meantioned the screens act as hubs, so do you just connect all of your accessories (keyboard, mouse, etc) to the screen, and then your mac to the screen? I am planning on doing something similar so me and my girlfriend can both use the setup with our own macs without a big hassle. Thanks.
AAAAH the well known desk setup optimization disorder DSOD as I'd like to name it. Currently in it cause just got a new dasktop pc which is way to powerful for my dual 1080p monitors (not to mention how ugly they feel when plugged with my mac ew and that gap with the monitor arm cause the vesa mount is not placed the same on both) I'm kinda kneeling towards a tripple monitor layout with either two one on top of the other in landscape then the third on the side vertically or the classical three way landscape setup... Can't wait to see how you gonna do it on your desk !
Hahaha DSOD 😂 Wow I would love to see that triple monitor setup, man! I'd personally probably go with a three way landscape, but curious how you will do it!
nice, buying one in a few weeks!
Awesome, I'm excited for you! 👍
Hello Marko! What MacBook do you use/recommend for a computer science student?.
amazing video marko.
Thanks! 😊
love the cable management 😂
Haha, thanks! 😄
nice and simple setup
Thanks 🙏
Very nice!❤❤❤❤
I’ve got 2 of them monitors. Have no complaints with them.
Nice, I'm excited to have the same setup 😃
You could've used the dualup as a secondary monitor and an LG ultrafine as the main monitor with MBP as the third monitor
nice video👍
very nice video dude like all of you're video
Hey thank you! 😊
Hey Marco, do you mind telling me wich glases do u use to record in 1rst person usualy?
The cables are to pass through the support has inputs and outputs for the cable
Hi Marko, have used both LG and Dell monitors. So which is better for your eye health and more comfortable?
Even though it was expensive, apple studio display could be the right choice for far .
Marko get two of those Gas monitor arms, make sure to buy two separate signle monitor arm and not a "double" since it's WAY easier to setup the monitors. I bought them for my setup and I will never go back
Hej Marko, na tvom poslu koji se jezici koriste za softverse inzenjere, hvala.
Nice and Simple , fulfills your needs and looks good. I guess you don't have to change it for a while :)
Hey yes exactly! I can see myself using this monitor setup for a while for sure!
@@withmarko i am thinking about taking a macbook pro 16. do you recommend it ? i believe you use it for intense software development like frontend and backend both running servers at the same time . does your macbook get hot or something like that ? please let me know. can i also know the specs
helpfull
Thank you so much
love from INDIA
You made the right choice. I am using Dell Ultrasharp 27 series for mac for a few year s now and could not be happier. The downside is, it is impossible to use them in 4K resolution with mac.
with the M2 Max Chip you can
@@TehBxmbo I can run in 4K, I am on M1 Max. What I mean is texts and UI elements become too small when you run in 4K. Not comfortable at all.
@@MehmetAlpsoy you can use 4k but scale it to 1440p. You gain sharper/crispier text/image and the good size of 1440p.
Hey awesome setup, how do you bypass only display 1 monitor on M chips? are you using Display link? :) or is there a new solution to this problem, if we want more than 1 screen on a macbook m chip?
He is using Macbook Pro 14 inch with at least M1 Pro. Can connect up to 4 external monitors if I'm not mistaken without the dock. The single monitor limitation only applied to Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13 inch.
I had this monitor and sometimes had flickering issues when connected to my macbook pro. Hope they fixed it.
I bought Dell UltraSharp U2722DE it’s 1440 (2k) monitor couple weeks ago, and it is identical to the shape of your monitor. I’m so happy with it, the only problem is that the text seems a bit pixelated. The dock feature is wonderful.
It is a good screen in general.
if you have a mac, you should go for no less than 27" 4k so you can achieve 163ppi and make the text less fuzzy.
@@rotivanov you are right but MacBook in general works better with 110 or 220 ppi
Hey there Marko.
I loved your previous setup and mostly the new one.
Please, can I ask that you please give me your old system or monitor, I will highly appreciate it.
I'm so sorry if this may seem embarrassing but, it's important to me.
If I were you, I would put the monitors on a wall holder and add some cool pixel clock somewhere on the table and I would also add some plant like monstera, to feel more like you're in nature.
Hey thank you for the suggestions! I am unfortunately unable to place them on the wall, since the landlord doesn't allow drilling the wall, but I actually do have a pixel clock and I will add it when I also add a desk shelf. 😃
@@withmarko There's also a double monitor stand that can be mounted to the desk 👍
what are you supposed to do now with LG dual monitor?
What about scaling? Is it comfortable to work with code?
Hvala za video! Samo nastavi!
Pozdrav, hvala na podrsci! 😊
Good afternoon Marko! I know this is off topic in the video in question, but I wanted to know if you, before entering the world of programming, had difficulty learning programming logic? Thanks in advance!
Hi Marko. I am writing with a question to you. As a very experienced Software Engineer and a person who works in IT sphere for many years, can you please give your opinion about the career paths or jobs in IT, that will be really demanding and/or industries will face the lack of those specialists? I will be really grateful for your feedback!
I have the exact same model, and one thing that I hate about this setup is that the macbook doesn't support display port daisy chaining, because theoreticaly you should be able to plug in your mac with a single usb-c cable and have both monitors conected to it, but because Apple, you need 2 cables, also had a problem with the macos virtual desktops with 2 external monitors, at random the desktops that I have on my mac screen get switched with the desktops with the external "secondary"(not marked as the main) monitor, which is very anoying when you use virtual desktops to organize your windows
Yes, I've ran into the the same issue with daisy chaining... But as far as the workspaces getting re-arranged. In my case the solution was to mark on of the external displays as main. That way the windows stay mostly where I expect them to be.
Idk, maybe your setup works because you use the mac in "clamshell"(idk how to spell), but I use the mac open, and the Dell maked as the main monitor, so idk it's just very frustrating when I paid the price of a used car for my computer 🤡
To fix this problem I would recommend getting a Display Hub, connect your monitors to the hub and connect the single usb-c cable to your mac. That’s my setup and I haven’t faced any issues. I like these monitors, but I just love the new Lenovo ThinkVision 27 UHD monitors.
The desk is in desperate need of some high-quality sound system. You can pick something up similar to MKBHD’s
In my case going for a 27" 4k 144hz monitor changed the way I work. My 2nd one is a 27" 4k 60hz and I hate looking at it because of the lower refresh rate.
Ah, I had this internal debate for a long time whether to go with a higher refresh rate monitor. But in my case I couldn't find enough information out there about running a double 4k high refresh monitor setup on the mac, and it seemed like I might run into issues, so I decided to play it safe. Are you on the mac as well?
@@withmarko The battery degradation is real when it comes to running one 27 4k 60hz and second 27 4k 144hz and unplugged. It's noticeably faster (battery degradation) than with dual 4k 60hz. Any performance issues? Nothing noticeable when it comes to CPU usage (that's probably how it should be). GPU % usage I haven't tested yet but I do frontend and I don't get any visible issues. About double 4k 144hz I can't say anything as for now I only have 4k 144hz and 4k 60hz and for now, I don't feel a need to buy another 4k 144hz because 90% of my work is done on 4k 144hz and the rest is on 4k 60hz (Slack, Jira, ChatGPT, Pomodoro, etc.) I'm on an MB Pro M1 14 base model. LG27GP950 and LG27UP850 or something.
@@bartzalewskidev hey dude. Is the text sharp enough on your 4k 144hz? I have a QHD here but I am pretty unhappy with it and just like you, Id hate to go back to 60hz
@@rotivanov The display quality is remarkably comparable to that of a Retina display to the extent that the differences are nearly indiscernible. However, it's crucial to select a 27-inch model, as this size offers a 4K resolution with a density of 163 DPI, which is often referred to as mini-HiDPI. This feature ensures sharper, clearer images without visible pixels, as opposed to the lower clarity I experienced with QHD.
In making my choice, I was torn between the LG 27GP950-B and the Gigabyte M28U. Although the M28U was enticing, being $400 less expensive, it offers a slightly lower DPI of less than 160. Ultimately, I opted for the LG model because having a mini-HiDPI display was a priority for me to guarantee the level of clarity I needed.
Does he using calmshell mode to connect with external monitor while MacBook is closed and always connect to charging??
What kind of monitor did you buy
Hi! Im asking if Google Data Analytics (coursera) is good ? I want to become an aspiring data scientist thankyou!
Бро, отличный контент. Мониторы бомба!
Nice.
Hi Marko, do you have a M1 Macbook Pro? Can you connect 2 monitors? do you do it with the OS update? Greetings from Santiago de Chile
Hey I think the base M1 model only supports one monitor, and if you need 2 displays, then it's only M1 Pro and up unfortunately
