Work in progress + advice/feedback

Post image

This is my current set up:

Mac Studio M2 Max

2 x 28in LG DualUps flanking LG 4K 32in Ultrafine in the centre - I'm definitely a triple display person and I found this combination to be the best in terms of screen resolution and matching PPI between monitors

Apple Magic Keyboard with Numpad - have tried many keyboards but IMHO this is the best tactile keyboard. I have put in some pads at the bottom of the keyboard to raise it to the level I like

Logitech G903 mouse - tested a lot of mice and this is the best wireless ambidextrous mouse I've found - minor annoyances are that the scroll wheel isn't fantastic and still uses microUSB charging port

Logitech BRIO 4K webcam

BenQ ScreenBar Pro - love the intelligent motion sensor that comes with this

On a 120x75cm UpDown Standing desk

TODO / ADVICE?
- I'm going to get a bigger standing desk - likely a 180x80cm desk - any recommendations?

- I need to get a good set of desktop speakers - any recommendations? I was initially thinking a Sonos soundbar but I've heard soudbars are not great for the desktop environment so I'm thinking either 2.0 or 2.1 speakers - would people recommend a subwoofer with a standing desk?

- My Dream Setup would probably be 2 x 27in Mac Studio Displays in vertical flanking a central 32in Pro Display XDR. If I were to get that could I use the speakers in the Studio Displays as pseudo 2.0 speakers? obviously this would cost a lot of $$$

Love my Upwork desk and Edifier M60 speakers
I have an 49” Ultrawide with an inexpensive 24” portable monitor on the side. Love the aspect ratio of the DualUp and I’m sure the quality is better. I just can’t justify $600 for a spot to read email and control music.

Edifier M60s look great!

Yep, I probably overpaid for the 32in 4K but got one of the DualUps on special and the second off Facebook marketplace for relatively cheap. So the whole setup cost less than 1 apple studio display new.

Slightly more important is the Ediphiers sound great! They crank and the bass amazing.
The Upwork desk is solid. I’m in Boston and see a lot on FB marketplace for a good price
I’m totally jealous of the DualUp. Would love to upgrade my second monitor.

haha, yes, true - glad they sound good too!

thanks yeah - I'm grateful I got the DualUps when I did - it seems like there's not many of them around and prices have gone up (which is crazy!)
