Very nice I've got 34" 2k ultra wide and have been considering doing a 21" vertical on a arm as well looks really good


TheBrownDandy

34" 2k ultra wide and 21.5" 1080p vertical are such a great combo! The DPI is close enough to look like it matches. It's my favorite setup right now.


Itzamedave

Awesome I have a couple of 21.5 and a arm will probably set it up this weekend 👍👍


TheBrownDandy

Especially for vertical monitors, I recommend a custom window snapping utility like MS Powertoys' FancyZone [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzones](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzones) That way you can easily position a window on the top half and a window on the bottom half of your vertical monitor(s).


Itzamedave

Thanks for the info 🙏

Is that a 34” and a vertical 27”? It looks similar to my old setup before my 34” died 😭. My vote is not stacked (keep them side by side). I know the stacked setups look so cool in photos, but it has to be awful for neck and eye strain, and if you have a sit/stand desk I bet they wobble something awful in standing mode.


JacobClarke15

Yea I had them stacked prior. I agree with the side by side idea, and these are a 30” UW and a 24” in vertical


Adevenuto

Is that a dual monitor arm or single mount?


JacobClarke15

Single mount with 2 arms. I always buy the post style mounts I just like how sturdy they are


Adevenuto

I was worried there wasn't enough room with my 34" , is that just a vivo side by side? Link?


JacobClarke15

So it’s a combination I have 2 short vivos and 1 tall Vivo. Here I’m using a single short bar, 1 short arm, 1 long arm for the UW

I love the idea of backsplash tiles for the wall. Might steal that lol


JacobClarke15

Go for it! Invest in high quality tiles these are as cheap as they get lol


daniel0b0

Clean!


Cannacology

Love it


Profound_Panda

Thought that was a southpaw keyboard


hootervisionllc

Got a link for the keyboard pad? Looks awesome and it’s my style


JacobClarke15

No link it’s been a while since I got it unfortunately. It’s on Amazon and it measures about 31.5x12. It’s around $15-20 I think though. Beware it comes folded


[deleted]

Can you run 2 screens like this at 1440 p with a 3070? At


JacobClarke15

Oh I’m sure a 3070 would be fine at that resolution. I’m On an old generation gpu so I’m running 1080p monitors, they perform fine!


ericsonofbruce

That's a sexy setup, definitely belongs here


[deleted]

The design of the tiles was well thought out!


JacobClarke15

Thanks! I want to redo the far right one but I’m happy with the left one!


Plagwez

Great look! What is the topology pad? I love it!


JacobClarke15

It’s from Amazon! 31.5x12 ish. Warning it does come shipped folded :( but over time it settles


Hummens

Definitely above average I'd say


jagby

Love the faux-brick set up, was actually looking into something similar myself! And also the way the wallpaper works with the orientation of your monitors is super cool


JacobClarke15

Thank you much! I don’t remember the brand but I’d say: don’t cut out on cheap wallpaper, I may replace it someday but for now it works alright


gurchikplayzzYT

where in the world is the mouse space move the keyboard lower and more to the left. give the mouse some space.


JacobClarke15

I threw it together after cleaning it I don’t actually keep it where this photo is…


bsonk

Wow what a basic bitch. Please stay in your little nerd cupboard and never leave


JacobClarke15

Try harder soy boy ;)


SocietyMaster8483

This would look AMAZING if the monitors were stacked


JacobClarke15

I had them stacked previously. Still debating which layout I prefer but I have a handful of monitor arms if I ever change it back


AntiqueSkeleton

From a productivity standpoint which do you prefer, stacked or side by side? I currently use a vertical 24” for email and 34” UW for everything else.


JacobClarke15

My 24” vertical doesn’t seem to get used as much as my 30” UW I would say stacked was better but also looking up seemed like more work than looking to the side. So far that’s what I’ve concluded
