As they say, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

One thing as a hybrid setup worker myself, you can always just remote into your PC from your Mac using the Microsoft Remote Dekstop app. Works like a charm, and can switch between desktops with a swipe

Lots of people trash talk apple products for being expensive, but man that display is gorgeous

[boringusername]

Taking your laptop and moving around whilst working is such a great productivity hack.

thank you for treating us with another setup video Daniel!

Like you, I've been through a lot of work environment changes. Today I just have the Studio Display connected to my MacBook Air 15" and when I want to game, I use my HP Omen with a RTX 3080 using thunderbolt as well. My keyboard and mouse are connected via USB on the back of the Studio Display and everything work beautifully. No docks, no extra cables and the 5K res is just perfect for a 1440p scaling at 200% in Windows. Speakers work, microphone work, camera work. I think it's a THE BEST minimalist / portable / good performant / hybrid setup, one can have these days. I just hope maybe for a future OLED version with 90Hz at least, but not a deal breaker. It feels so good to have thing that do a lot, with very few stuff. Nice video!

as a minimalist myself, I love the look of this setup. But as some others have said, I'm not sure how convenient is actually is. Removing a bunch of gear is always nice, but when you're sacrificing so much, I'm not sure I'd go that extra mile myself. Mainly things like not having proper speakers, no light bar on the monitor etc..

Wow I thought your previous Ergonofis setup was amazing but man there's something about the absolute minimalistic simplicity of this setup that cuts out so much stress from all the little components @6:20 which seriously makes me consider having a future setup more like this instead...it's just so simple yet elegant with less fuss to worry about and research 😇

1:56 Here in the US we would kill to have our firearm storage that beautifully neat

[AdrianFrunza]

The cinema display looks clean!
Nice job

[boringusername]

Love the insiration. But maybe averaging a different desk setup every year isn't minimalist?

[mydogisbailey]

That is such a beautiful setup! Wish I weren’t so poor 😂

[jgarfield]

Can you elaborate on how the PC is connected to the monitor and how you switch inputs?

[nassoskontopoulos]

Even though I do not have money for this setup, with your video I just dream having it and it is a pleasure cause its the best calm, detailed presentation and thank you for that :)

[djaxon]

Was lucky enough to pick up a nano-textured studio display (vesa mount) for like £980 something via Amazon Warehouse a few years back. Love it to bits but even at that price it's still too expensive for what it is!

[RoxaneJ]

Man, how many times can you say "where" in one video 😂
Nice and polished setup as usual!

[houssamalucad]

A few months ago I would've agreed with you on the Studio, there simply was not something better for productivity on a Mac. However, LG dropped their 32" 4k OLED recently with an improved pixel substructure that fixes text clarity issues on previous OLEDs. That monitor has a non-gamery design and has the matte coating that I assume you prefer, it also has very good speakers (I assume just as good as the studio display) although it doesn't have the USB hub of other alternatives, you'll have to buy that separately and hide it under the desk. Oh and the 240hz OLED panel is a joy to use for content consumption, it's leagues better than the Apple Studio.

[Junaid_Ellam]

This guy defo has that British builder type of vocabulary hehe

[Klarinette]

Love your setup! Could you kindly share what cable you are using to connect the PC to the Studio Display?

[hafuridotus]

LG C3 for $649, no issues with MacOS either, looks amazing in 42 inches.
