  • A few months ago, I upgraded my girlfriend's home office desk setup. I have since thought of other improvements that could be done and here we are today with these new features.

    I did something similar for my work/home setup. I chose a dedicated arm for the laptop where I attach to the side of the table instead. This way I can move it out of the way when I am not working. My main problem was connecting all peripherals to one system and then having to swithc them to another. For this I highly recommend the USB hubs that also act as switches (available on amazon). I connect mouse, keyboard and headphones to the hub and from the hub I have 1 USB cable going for each PC. With a press on a button it routes all my peripherals from one pc to another.

    The Xiomi is about 1/3 of the price in my country. I want the control dial, which they both have. I’m not sure if it’s worth me going for the BenQ, but it’s a long term purchase so I’d rather get it right

      I don't think the Benq version is better. In addition to the Xiaomi Mijia Screen Bar (MJGJD01YL), there are also two Xiaomi Yeelight screen bars (YLTD001 / YLTD003). You can find them on Banggood.
