    honestly i think that these videos are seen as the gold standard that everyone should have if they can do anything successful on the internet. but in reality you could something that works just as well for you for like 1500 or less just cause it works for what your needs are. i say the things you should have as a "gold standard" is the overall organization and cleanliness since thats what gets you to work quick, sometimes you need things on top of your super clean desk cause drawers dont cut it. So organizing it while looking good is the real skill to take away.

      I mean don't get me wrong, not everyone can afford this stuff, but that statement is just about as true for any bit of kit for any hobby or job. What you didn't see in this video are the two other desks that I have in the studio that are cobbled together with Ikea bits and random legs off Amazon. You can make most any setup look decent at a minimum, but some people like to see things they can aspire towards, or are just geniunely curious about how other people decide to spend their money.

      @@patkay Fair point, i mean it is why i watched the video in the first place. This video was probably not the best place to mention a point like this since your just trying to show your gear after moving and stuff which i think is dope.
      I loved the setup, especially the desk itself i love the wood top and color. But gotta ask about the keyboard not having a numpad, i mean it know its out of style and everyone likes 60-75% but i cant use the calculator without it so i wonder how thats been for you lol.

      Absolutely, but most of the time it's either not fast to edit video directly off of, or definitely not portable enough to take with me. I used to have a Thunderbolt DAS too, but that was also in the same vein.

    • @zenful7487
      @zenful7487 7 місяців тому

      Interested you mentioned that, I’m in the struggle of trying to buy a monitor for Mac that scales well. The options are really limited, depends on the PPI as well. So my current dell aw3420dw is actually ok due to the PPI being low enough. There was an article that explained the PPI you need, it basically needs to be below or above a certain range. The LG Ultrafine 5k/apple studio display are just too overpriced for me in the world of sub £1k stunning OLEDs

      @moritzrodl3881 7 місяців тому

      @@zenful7487 Yes, I've seen the articles and videos that discuss this topic as well. Those suggest either buying a 1440p or a 5k monitor on 27/32 inch. But in my opinion 1440p is not enough resolution and the 5k ones are way too expensive. So there isn't really a great option. But I've seen many UA-camrs using the Dell or LG 4k monitors, so I'm wondering if it's actually that significant..

    • @zenful7487
      @zenful7487 7 місяців тому

      Thanks! To be honest, not really, because I always like the look of 1440p on a 27" screen, so im always down resing to that resolution from 4k and everything remains super sharp and looks great.
