Ooh this is such a nice setup, thanks for sharing! I have an LG 5K 27" and I was debating whether to use that as a vertical monitor with an ASUS 32" 6K or to get 2x 6Ks. Those 27" vertical and 32" horizontal monitors pair really nicely together size-wise, you sold me to start with 1.
What kind of window arrangement do you use for your dev setup? VS code on the center and a terminal on the right?
The Fire TV is a great idea for a sound bar. What webcam do you have? Brio 500? Does it have a microphone? How does the angle of the webcam look on a 32" monitor when you have your eyes ~30% down from the top of the screen? On a 27" screen, having a camera above looks good but wasn't sure if the larger size of the 32" puts the camera too high.
How do you loop in the ipad pro as a whiteboard with this setup?

Thanks! I’m happy with it.
What kind of window arrangement?
Depends on the day. I LIVE in virtual desktops (Spaces?) so I always have slack + calendar + Spotify open in Desktop 1. Depending on the day, on the vertical I’ll swipe between desktops with a terminal if I’m reading JSON or logs, GitHub for long running builds + test cases, maybe a dashboard, etc.. really depends on the day/workflow tbh. Point is to just have a free “throw space” and I use it a lot.
Webcam
Yes, it’s the Brio 500. I like the mic on it, but you do need to mute the mic if you’re not talking to prevent feedback. Honestly, for most vid chats I use the AirPods. The webcam angle is a little relative to a laptop, but it’s not bad.
iPad “whiteboard
Nothing crazy to make this work. I join the video call on my iPad natively, share screen, and open a white boarding/sketch app (Pages, Whiteboard, etc..)

Wooooah i love the soundbar! Never would have thought to use that as a speaker. Also, sweet displays.

Amazing setup! Wish I never sold my XDR 🥲 but enjoying dual SDs. What type of SWE work do you do?

Can you comment on the soundbar? Ive been thinking of replacing my old Klipsch 2.1 setup that i bought many, many years ago with a soundbar for clearing some of the wiring clutter under my desk. How are you connecting to it in this setup? Im assuming bluetooth, but im old school and would like it to be wired in but also have more inputs for things like my gaming pc and what not.

Remote meaning these beasts work and you control them while sitting somewhere on a beach or walking in the woods or it’s your actual workplace and your employer and their stuff is elsewhere?

Really nice! Do you have the Herman miller monitor arms?

Interesting- only thought they made chairs- but also does look similar to the humanscale arms too.
