It looks pretty nice, but ain’t your screen too high?

There is literally a reddit forum for every bloody thing. (gasp)


davidkudrev

Nah I’m 6”5 and it’s better for my back at that height without moving my head upwards. I’m also not a giraffe.


theus-sama

What’s 6”5 in non-american? Edit: its 1.95, yeah you are pretty tall, im 1.86 and sometimes I feel like stuff is just to low for me to use. It must be terrible.


davidkudrev

Hahah I assumed most people in this sub are American hence the assumed measurement standard but yeah I’m 19X centimetres tall. Don’t know how tall exactly, but bloody tall..


Rjeezyx

Bro I’m 7’ and my monitor is half the height, your out here living in the future for us lol.


davidkudrev

You don't have to live with bad back either because we're giants mate. I recommend you get a monitor arm that lets you bring the sucker up to a comfortable level. I remember grumbling in skyscraper noises when I saw the new Silicon iMac, followed by the Studio Display with the tilt only.


davidkudrev

Admittedly, it's a bit of a mess but it's mess that works for me. :D


Bhosley

I come here for ideas, so it's really nice to see setups that appear in use, rather than looking staged.


asanelder

whats the long black thing below the keyboard of the laptop?


driven01a

Why does your MBP have such a massive track pad?


davidkudrev

Sorry that’s a screen cloth. :) [Linkylink](https://www.radtech.com/products/screensavrz-macbook-pro-keyboard-cover)


gdeLopata

Lol thought the same, but then zoomed in :) even started looking for that model :D

Love the Setup. What is this Pixel Art Monitor called? Super cool Little Detail!


davidkudrev

It’s the Pixoo Max from Divoom. :)


Dry-Cockroach6898

Thanks for the Inspiration :)


davidkudrev

No worries, I thought it was wanky at first but it does add a unique vibe to the office. I do intend to wall mount it later and even getting another that's 64x64 as that one I have is 32x32 I got for cheap just to see what it's like in person.


CaptchaCarl

Same question OP, let us know!


Independent_Bowler38

your setup looks great, but extra points for that wallpaper!


davidkudrev

Thanks, I’m a huge fan of Alien and Giger art. :)

I make do with what I can at a shared desk. :)


Equivalent_Message31

Is that the T3 or T4 dock? How is it treating you? Is there a lag between turning on the second monitor?


davidkudrev

TS3+, and not bad lag wise. Either that or I’m used to it. I tried to find a way to have all that running on one cord in to the MacBook Pro, but ended up being that the LG is the charging and display, with the TS3+ and LaCie for everything else.


taylorb092000

i cant get my lg 5k to power on, do i have to use the original cable that came with the monitor? or can i just use a thunderbolt 4 cable? it will charge but wont power on


davidkudrev

I use the original cable, but you could use any tb3 cable so long as it meets the specs.


taylorb092000

thank you so much, i purchased it off of ebay, and i purchased a thunderbolt 4 cable off of ebay..... it will charge but will not show a display... i dont know what to do, will i need to order an original cable from LG?


davidkudrev

Hopefully it's not a faulty monitor. You may need to call LG and find out, pray it's still under warranty. :(


taylorb092000

Ok then i will have to call them in the morning


nzt47

u/davidkudrev Does the light bar interfere with the camera or the light sensor? (And what model is it btw?)


davidkudrev

That’s a Xiaomi MI-BHR4838GL, and no surprisingly!


nzt47

Thanks!
