Look, I get it. Displays, they're the one thing that actually gets less
expensive these days, but uh that doesn't mean that you need to keep
buying more of them. >> Stop. Stop. Go back. I Dude, I'm not
getting mad now. >> This is wild. This is a station.
>> But some folks clearly didn't get that memo.
>> We asked you then to show us your wildest multimonitor setups. And uh
boy, did you ever What the heck is this?
>> What is that? Did they really go out of their way to do this?
>> Dude, you have some weird fans. >> Now, what we could have done was host an
intervention for these fine folks. But instead, we sent some of our favorite
submissions, more monitors, with a
little help from our sponsor LG and their smart monitor Swing. These things
super cool. We're going to take a closer look later, though. First, let's get
into it.
That's gorgeous. >> I actually really like this. It almost
looks UV. >> That's a deep desk. >> I love deep desks.
>> Now, I do have a suggestion. Maybe you
wouldn't need such big monitors if your desk was shallower.
>> No, bigger monitors. It's important. The
only problem I have with this setup is the left monitor being blocked by the
mic. >> Really? This wire? >> Oh, that's not Oh, shush. That's not a
big deal. >> What? >> Oh, it's fine. >> Look at it. >> It's fine.
>> Okay. Actually, it's pretty bad.
>> I like how they've really managed to fit all those monitors in the space really
cohesively. >> Um, like you said with the PC underneath
and then how it's just kind of like ticking up that left uh portrait
>> gap. It's not a big desk, but they've really made the most of the space.
Absolutely. >> I could sit down at this this one. >> There's two things that I notice here.
One, I like that he's managed to find a monitor that has a top that is nearly
the exact same length as the side of his primary.
>> Yeah. >> But the second thing drives me crazy.
>> And that's he didn't quite align it. >> It's probably the sag in like whatever
arm bracket he's using has slowly gotten worse over time. And maybe look Oh, that
one he didn't. Okay, never mind. He didn't even align that one with the top.
This is a major problem when you have a big monitor though. Where the heck are
you supposed to put your speakers? >> I don't even hate this solution.
>> No, I think that's probably the best solution. Wo,
>> that moment when you need a fisheye lens in order to fit all of your screens in
the picture. Oh, I like your Hacksmithaber, though. >> Oh, yeah. I have one.
>> Didn't you steal that from work? >> No, I bought one. >> I
>> didn't you also steal one from work? >> No, I I I debated, but I didn't.
Is it worse to like confess that you thought about the crime but not actually
do it or just do the crime? >> Obviously doing the crime is worse.
>> So then there's nothing I did nothing wrong. I am innocent.
>> But you're making you're you're creating a a contrived binary choice for me
>> when there is an entire spectrum of morality. >> It's black and white. There is no in
between.
Whoa. All right. Whoa. >> Four monitors technically.
>> Concrete floor. Wicked smart when you're going to be rolling around on it in your
chair. And you just push off from the
floor and boom, you're at your driving sim. >> Catch the wheel.
>> You just push off the other way and boom, you're at your triple monitor
keyboard and mouse gaming setup. >> This is pretty sick. also solve the
problem of where to mount your speakers.
>> Okay, these monitors need some help, though. I can't tell if they're like
sagging or if >> they're just my height.
>> So, you can like look up.
>> That can't be ergonomic. >> No, probably not. But I bet you you know
what I bet they do? They they pull at me and they the chair doesn't lean back at
all. But normally I'm like this. I'm I'm the epitome. I'm like that South Park
meme. I can't say that diamond plate is my favorite aesthetic choice. And you've
really gone out of your way to include them. >> Like this one on the wall here is like
>> it's like not centered to the desk. It's I can't figure out what this is.
>> Okay. Well, hold on. >> They have a strong intent to have
multiple monitors. >> Okay. So then they did get a second
monitor. >> Nice. Oh,
>> that's one of the LG ones that we >> That's right. 31 12 in 4K IPS, supports
touchscreen, has webOS just like you would with an LG smart TV. And it's
movable, allowing you to set it to any angle that you want, including auto
pivot, which provides seamless transitions from landscape to portrait,
just like I seamlessly transitioned to telling you about it. And I'm going to seamlessly transition back to checking
out these setups. >> Yo. Oh, do they do like streaming or something? >> That's cool cuz that's Yeah,
>> film photography. >> Oh, cool. That would be super helpful to be able to plug in.
>> Ooh, it's a laptop. >> What are you talking about?
>> It's a banana. It's a a bunch of flowers they bought two weeks ago.
>> I want to know what the second monitor is, though. It >> I think it's just a cheap AliExpress.
>> Oh, it's a tablet, I bet. Yeah. >> Yeah. Looks like a tablet. They 3D printed a little hole.
>> I do like that. That's pretty resourceful. >> I love the bracket.
>> It's pretty cool, actually. >> Okay. It's It's not about the car you drive, it's how you drive it. Okay.
>> Yeah, >> the flowers are a bit much. You're trying a little hard.
>> Wow, that was whiplash. I was not ready for that. Just a completely different
computer. >> Wait, is this the same person? >> Yep, same person. There's a few
different setups here. >> They're still using the same roses.
>> Okay, stop. Stop. Go back.
>> Go back. >> What? >> It's the Voltron of laptops. I dig how
versatile this is. >> I never want to move this thing. >> No, >> I never want to take my laptop anywhere.
Like at this point, this is a it's a test. >> Yeah.
>> Stop. Stop. Go back. Dude, I'm not getting mad now.
>> Wa. >> Where are you coming from?
>> It's like evolution. This is >> This is This is the same monitor.
>> Yeah, that looks like vertical screen. >> They're uh playing it up a tiny bit.
Also, just one of them has a calibration
issue. >> I didn't even notice.
>> Oh, wait. It's a different display entirely.
>> Oh. >> So, these three are Dell something.
>> Yeah. >> And this one's not,
>> which to be clear is fine if you don't have the money to, you know, spring for
matching monitors. We're not judging. Except you did have the money for seven
matching monitors.
All right. This seems downright reasonable by comparison.
>> It's still a lot of monitors. >> I also dig pointing your light panel at
the wall. >> Oh, for a proper bounce. >> Yeah. So, you can get a little softer light. It depends on like your lighting
situation, but sometimes that is the better scenario. And then even it bounces off a white Star Wars poster.
That's not bad. >> LT desk pad. I just realized
>> what's But what's sticking out from it? >> Oh, yeah. I don't know. You got it on
top of something. >> So, I think that they have a regular desk pad.
And they just rolled it out for the picture.
>> I'm on two.
>> This is a before and after. This is the before.
>> There's two keyboards. >> Wait, is it? But >> is this a dual
>> one chair though? >> No. Three. >> Cuz the
but the webcams are angled toward the one seat. Wait, you work two jobs?
That's a good call. That actually might be true.
>> And then they put the cover on.
>> They go chill here. I mean, realistically, they're not going to notice I'm at my other job.
>> They're not going to notice if I'm playing video games, >> watching movies. >> Yeah.
>> What? What are you shaking your finger about? Oh, do >> I mean just a little bit of light time
theft fraud? >> Oh, come on.
Steal from the man. I don't do that. I'm right here. I don't
do that. I'm right here. >> I want to make it very clear. I am
always working 120% for the shareholders.
>> You're so full of >> Who lives like this? It's too clean.
>> I dig the like solo goon chair by the
TV. >> Why is it a goon chair? It's just a recliner, you weirdo.
>> I respect that. He's like company. Absolutely not.
>> Oh, they got one, too. Nice. Oh, what
are they watching? They're watching like Overwatch or >> Nice.
Amazing. >> They have it closer to them to monitor
when a call's coming in. So, they have to like get up and like run back to the
desk. >> Oh, there's two people. No, he can't do
no more. >> Why? You got rid of the best part of the
room. >> Uh, you got your finger in the shot a little bit. Oh, look. They used it as
like a desk monitor. like they have like a lap board or something.
>> This actually makes so much sense. >> Yeah. >> Like look, if you're going to be
disengaged from what we're watching on the TV, >> be fully disengaged.
>> Yeah. Instead of pretending to half pay attention or whatever.
>> We both went the exact same direction with it. >> That third monitor is like up.
>> I would never want a mouse on that surface like ever. It's way too small.
First of all, why is it like the vertical way instead of the horizontal
way? Maybe because they Oh, cuz to go up
to the monitor. >> When you dock your laptop, you're supposed to use the proper keyboard, not
the nipple keyboard. >> Don't you dare diss the Lenovo nipple.
>> The Lenovo nipples are very nostalgic for me.
>> You know how this stuff usually works is you banter back so then we can have a
conversation for the video. But when you stare silently, >> I just have nothing to say to you.
>> Okay. Okay.
That's awesome. Earth kind of thing. >> I love the pegboards. I'm a huge fan of
pegboards. I think that they can just They're so useful for anything. >> Uh Nicholas Poof.
>> Big fan of pegging. >> Yeah, big fan. >> Damn.
>> Wa. This is like a hobby shop. >> I like this setup.
>> Is that all paint on the wall? >> Yeah, I think they do miniatures or
something. Yeah, there it is. Definitely. >> Also, I love that you have your kids
artwork on the desk. >> It could be theirs. >> Same Razor soundbar that Ivonne uses. I
use it because it was free to take from work. >> You're allowed to take itself from work
when I'm not. >> Is your son
>> according to the comments?
>> A chaotic multimonitor setup. >> This is very similar to mine
>> for a chaotic mind. >> Yeah, >> they did such a good job of pandering
that I don't want to go too hard. Got the WAN Show. Got ltstore.com up here.
Okay. But the webcam here because your car needed to go here. the Cyber Truck
dude taking place on the webcam. Come on. But there's another one.
>> There's another one. >> What the heck?
>> Um, guess the age of this this person. 52.
>> Golf. 50 plus. >> Okay. They got golf. They've got the Intel inside astronaut. They've got a
Cybert truck. My respect dropped a little bit. And they got a track ball
mouse. Okay. 55. 55. 55. Yeah, 55 is a good guess.
>> Also, oh my god, there's three more monitors over here.
Oh, did they they got an LG one one of the things too. >> Cool.
>> Oh, I like this setup. This is actually a super ideal like second screen use.
>> They have like all the F1 stats up while that's actually pretty cool.
>> I really like the idea of having the stats >> off to the side because I bet you a lot
of people when they're watching the races, they kind of want to see like, oh well this guy's in the lead now. What's
what are his stats and stuff? And they're probably pulling it up on their phone. Boom. >> It would be way cool.
>> Pop the monitor up. That sweet >> cool like watch party vibe kind of
thing. Third display. Okay.
>> And they're all one, two, three. >> 100% understood the assignment.
>> Whoa. Curved monitor is the vertical monitor.
>> No. How many tabs do they have open? Go
back to the left monitor and look.
>> Whoa. >> Christ almighty.
How much? Google Chrome is using 12 gigabytes of RAM.
I hope we didn't send them a monitor. I don't want to enable this behavior.
>> Wow. >> Oh, oo keyboard. >> That's a lot of monitor. Yeah, you're
Dude, you're locked. You're dialed in,
>> bro. Does not move. What the heck is this? What is that?
>> That's a keyboard. >> No, no, the like the >> It's a drink. >> No, the like the
>> It's a soundbar. >> The pegging thing. Like, what is Sorry,
the peg. Like the thing that looks like a I didn't mean Okay. I didn't mean it
like that. >> God, I didn't mean,
>> Elijah. It's obviously not poor that it doesn't have a flared base.
>> It looks like like a Minecraft vegetable or something. Maybe it's gamedev. Yeah,
>> maybe. That's that's my best guess. >> Especially with these these fancy mice.
>> This is wild. This is a station. I am
going to enter my station now and lock in.
Oh, I don't like Oh, I'm getting anxious looking at this cuz everywhere I look, I
see another monitor. A VR headset, too.
Why do you have You have VR with all these monitors.
>> Could you imagine just working and just
>> AOL, >> they're watch they're on AOL's news feed.
>> I mean, I guess if I had this many monitors, I'd run out of relevant things
to put on them, too. >> There's more to the right. Oh, I hate
this so much. >> Six machines, it says.
>> Why? Who hurt you? >> I don't know what you're using all of
these monitors to do, but I believe that you're actually using all of them, and I
can respect that.
>> Does he have a Linus etched PC, guys?
I put my PC on the floor, so the line is etched into my side panel. Would be more
accurate height. I think it's still a little tall.
Did they really go out of their way to do this?
>> Dude, you have some weird fans. >> Yeah, that's why I stopped hiring them.
>> Okay. >> All right. Tasteful. Two monitors. >> Yeah. Wait, is that like a 3D printed
block for the monitor arm? >> Yeah, it's just a box to hold his monitor arm.
>> Oh, that's sick. Smart. >> Nice. >> Oh, they got one, too.
>> I dig it. >> I think it works great there. I just as
a vertical display, too. >> That's cool that it can be. I think it
works really well. Yeah, >> I like the Subzero. >> Wow. The the mobility on that monitor is
crazy. >> It's really good. >> It's like really >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Wow. That's
>> I love what you've done with the space. You didn't have much space. You used it.
>> Okay, this one's actually cool. The top monitor is out of an Alienware laptop
that his brother took with him to Iraq for two tours and he modified it to be a
normal monitor afterwards. >> Dude, that's pretty cool. That's got some history. You're never throwing out
that monitor. >> That's super cool. Oh, cool.
>> Oh, and that's like your custom adapter you made to hold it as well.
>> Awesome, >> dude. This is sick. >> Oh, so you can do your Lego stuff.
That's pretty cool. >> This is a great use of it. >> And it's nice. You don't have anything
plugged in cuz it has its own web browser. >> Yeah.
>> Perfect for this kind of use case. >> Absolutely. >> So flexible. >> Did I mention, by the way, that no PC
connection is required? There's home and office apps for productivity, popular
streaming apps, cloud gaming for entertainment. It's all built in to LG
WebOS. And with their Switch app, you can boost productivity with split screen
and a keyboard mouse connection to webOS. So, you don't have to use the
touchcreen. Oh, and here's another great
use for it. >> Is this the same guy? >> When you're working on something out in the garage.
>> Oh, and that I guess shows the portability cuz you just like roll it out to the garage and start using it for
his manual or whatever. >> Yeah. I mean, it's way better than like trying to use your phone for.
>> Yeah. This is sick. >> Yeah. The LG on the left there. >> Is it? >> That's No.
>> No. >> That is it arm though. Oh, you put you Oh, >> you can take it off and put it on arm.
Your own arm. >> Oh, okay. >> Oh, that's okay. >> Well, there you go. Now we know that.
>> Sweet.
>> Okay. Racing sims on differentiz monitors is crazy.
>> Yeah, you got a bit of a PPI issue here. >> Yeah, that's a bold decision.
>> Oh, is this a this after the LG on the side?
>> This is a much more This is the LG. >> Oh, yeah. Well,
>> this matches much much better. >> Yeah, this is already so much better. I
never would have thought to put the like swing under the like behind the desk.
>> Yeah. >> Um >> if it works, it works. >> But if it works, it works. It literally
looks like it's just sitting on a monitor arm or something there.
>> That's so cool.
>> Ah, the ultra wide is the vertical is killing me on the left. I think that's
>> cuz that's this is this is like 6 and 1/2 ft up by then.
>> Is that another monitor?
They pulled this one out of storage. I don't care. This They're faking it. This
one. These two were not on this desk. Line of us.
>> Get out of here. >> Why? What do you people do with eight
monitors? >> What do you mean you people? >> I have five across two computers. That's
reasonable.
>> Oh, >> that's sick.
>> Oh, it swivels out. >> That's great. There's a lot about this
that I really do like. >> It's got a little drink holder.
>> Yeah, >> that's great. >> It's pretty practical. >> That's pretty cool.
>> I'm actually kind of jealous of this one. >> Yeah, cuz this is one of the big problems with these like Scorpion or
like zerog types of setups is that
getting in and out past your giant heavy monitors is really tough, like swinging
your giant thing of monitors. But this kind of solves it cuz they're not that
heavy and they're attached to it so they just go right out.
>> I see the vision for this. It is not what I want for myself.
>> No, but it's cool. >> It's cool. And like I bet it is very comfy for long periods of time.
>> Yes. This is dad's setup. >> Oh yeah. Right. >> Oh yeah,
>> kitty. So cute. >> A cat.
>> Yo, this is >> this is a cubicle. >> I don't know. >> It kind of looks like a cubicle.
>> It's very gray. >> This is cool though. Yeah, that lamp with cassette tapes.
>> With zip tied together. I dig that. >> What the hell? >> That's cool.
>> And we haven't even seen the cassette tape lamp shade yet. >> Zip tied together.
>> Not bad. >> Yeah, not bad. >> That's it. >> Hooray. If you guys enjoyed this video
cuz you love super cool displays, maybe you'll like the one we made about the
giant video wall that I bought on Craigslist.
>> Everyone told me I was stupid for buying it.
They were wrong. >> It's a Shut up. We used it today.
>> Yeah, >> we used it today in an all hands meeting. >> Yeah.
>> God, you're such a hater. >> Yep. Why hire me?
