This guy is just the perfect youtuber. No BS sponsors, simple, proper testing gear, soothing voice, valid opinions, entertaining & etc.

The year is 2032, Optimum has the no monitor/no pc/no desk minimalistic set-up

Congrats on 1 million subscribers and well deserved! By far one of the best tech channels on YT - straight to the point no BS content, proper testing of components, objective opinions based on factual data, no obnoxious ad segments, awesome production quality, etc. If there is a channel that should be the benchmark for what a tech channel should look like, then this is definitely it. Keep up the great work!

Optimum hitting 1m is so deserving. Godspeed to you.

After watching this 4 months ago, I finally went single monitor a month later. The second monitor was mostly an idle screen or a screen where I could properly read something while typing on the main screen. But looking to the side often leaves me with a stiff neck and a headache. Plus, I found myself always distracted cause I'd use it to play YouTube while doing some work. I find myself still distracted but not that much when I had a second monitor.

We are reaching the point where all peripherals are just a tool to access the virtual world seamlessly. The skypad with a sleeve is sooo good as well. 10/10 setup.

Honestly, 1M still feels like an under appreciation of how clean, straight to the point, simple to follow, amazing videos.

For as much as I absolutely love this single monitor, clean, minimal setup that I wish I could achieve...my workflow/needs for multiple panels is necessary. I even went from 3 to 2 and I always feel that I need to add the third back onto my setup. Congrats on 1M

Channel is extremely minimal and super aesthetic. Subscribed !!

[rossmpostpro]

I'm a professional editor and use a 32" 16:9 main monitor but then a 24" 16:10 secondary calibrated display mounted vertically. A single panel just doesn't cut it (pun intended) unfortunately. Love the content as always man.

Wish you'd talk more about the ergonomics of your setup, in particular the advantages of combining an ergonomic chair, height-adjustable table, and extended monitor arm with a gas spring.

i have this Monitor for my PS5 Pro and holy smokes... the image quality, the picture quality, the graphics, the sharpness, the colors and absolutely everything is incredible. i cannot say this enough. This monitor is an absolute beast, i mainly care about the image quality and picture 4K that's why i got it plus OLED my gosh the Blacks on this thing is amazingly dark inky i love it!!! I'm Coming from Sony inzone M9 4K ips 27" monitor and it was an awesome monitor but this right here is different Game Changer, also the "matte coating on the display is not grainy at all or very mattey, its more like matte and glossy put together in one, it really is nice to look at and the most amazing part of all of this, it went on sale for $400 off so i paid $999.99 plus tax instead of retail price of $1399.99 plus tax, i got it at Best Buy

This monitor is top tier! I love the fact you can switch between the 4K and 1080 high refresh especially with the option to scale the diagonal view down to a usable esports size for a desk. The speakers are the cherry on top, this monitor caters for pretty much every need with the best display technology (oled) atm and has a nice minimalist non 'gamer' design.

why did my mind read "The single mother setup for 2024."

[Berkeli]

a quick note on using in-ear headphones daily. I have been using them for the past ~10 years and I would usually only plug in right ear only (so I can hear what's going on around me). Recently I've been having issues in my right ear that it is overly sensitive, and doctors suspect there might be hearing imbalance because of using single earphone...

[madmax]

Congrats on 1 million subs, well deserved milestone. You're like a PC focused MKBHD. Great content, editing, quality, and best of all, no filler content crap.

[Fadfad]

I watch this specific video many times. Idk it's just fun to see such sleek and simple setup

[sheikhyusuf]

It's a good day when optimum uploads

[TranscendentalAirwaves]

I went back to using a single monitor as well right at the end of the year. At first it was horrible but now it feels pretty normal again and I love that it doesn't take up my whole desk.

[sfarsitulumi]

I trust bro more just because he looks so good. This guy has discipline and balance in his life.
