    #1 Chair ( you might as well get a good one since you don't want to be uncomfortable ) #2 Desk ( for potential more desk space ) #4 Monitor ( you're looking at it, might as well get a good one, for me a single ultra-wide is my goal ) #5 A Foot rest ( trust me get a sling one, it's awesome ) #6 Not necessarily your setup but your environment. Paint your room, get some rugs or redo your floor. Add some greenery, maybe some lights? Or maybe less lights? So then get a blackout curtain or tint/blur your windows. It's all about experimenting.

Right now, I'm trying to configure the ideal setup for me, not only in the functional sense, but also as a reflection of my style.

My setup is pretty low tech. Yes I agree - the chair is the most important part of your setup. I was using the original chair that came with this drafting table, its 20 years old. I couldn't sit here for very long it was killing my back. I got a new chair a few years ago. It has made such a huge difference - Thanks for the info.

    I'm filtering through a lot of office/desk setup videos to help get an idea of what I want. Your review of the chair was great and I truly could use some lumbar support for when I'm working. I also need bigger screens or to learn to zoom in more because I lean forward due to my vision. This then defeats the purpose of any lumbar support (not that my current chair has any anyways). The whole fad with the racer chairs are aesthetic, but I'm not the right body type for them, they're hella expensive, and don't seem to offer the support functions a regular office chair provides. I didn't think I wanted monitor arms as well, but the more I think about it, especially as I'm going to need to share my space with two laptops (the one my job lets me use and the other is my personal computer), the more flexibility will be important. Having a large monitor on an arm that I can bring forward to help my vision would be nice. Your office is really beautiful, thank you for sharing this! And lastly, if you made it through this ramble (sorry about that, lol), where did you get the wood panels? Not sure I could install something similar in my apartment without damaging the walls, but they look really nice.

On paper i tend to lose things, and doing that with a mouse is so much harder. (I see you're an architect, I don't know if you have one, if not maybe useful for you too) - *Kindle / eReader* : If only they weren't so expensive, I don't feel comfortable buying a used on from eBay since it's linked to amazon accounts don't want to get owned.

    Instant credibility when you mentioned the chair as the first essential upgrade. A really good chair should be considered an investment if you spend hours each day in it. After much research, I just bought a used Steelcase Leap V2 today to replace one that's nice to look at but is killing my body because it isn't ergonomic and has very little adjustment. I've been looking into some speakers, but haven't made up my mind just yet, and the lights are a nice touch as well. Good list.

    I am probably incredibly alone in that, but I despise minimal Desk setups with a Passion, since I have a fear of large rooms. This is a thing, you can look that up. Having minimalistic space actually creeps me the heck out, so I really enjoy my Desk crammy, but with near optimal space usage. :D But from my personal experience I can add to the Video that there is one thing I found out had improved my setup like literally nothing else before it: A Laptop. Having a secondary, completely own Machine besides my main PC is handy for SOO many things. It may not be entirely relatable when you never tried it, but hot damn, as a QA Tester and Editor this is coming in clutch in many situations.

    Nice set up. but looks more like a show case not an actual work place. Clean desk increases productivity for sure. Good job. Not many realize the whole room/office set up becomes more costly than the system itself. Then add IT tech support etc. ;-) For cable managements, you can also purchase a cheap PVC "cable trunking" tubes or "cord hider" tubes, cut them in needed sizes, stick them under the desk (with double tapes or screws). And I am always told not to tidy up the cables too much because they create electro magnetic field - snakes can burn down a studio, fire up an office, or blow up your precious newly cleaned up desktop system. So keep them lose and scattered, and cover up with a huge ... blockage of sort.

    700$ for a chair like that is an absolute overkill, the chair is very minimal I honestly thought it was around 100$ maybe even cheaper. I'm using a Dowinx chair that is 300$ and I'm an Artist so I spend 10+ hours everyday working on my desk and I feel very comfortable and it's keeping my back straight. It even has a massager installed in the back pillow.

Same, stand for that as well or should that be desk mounted for cleanliness? Thanks Jon.

    Slow way is absolutely the way! Personally I wanted good speakers, built some Overnight Sensation Speakers, veneered them and finished them in a way I liked, made matching stands. Next I realised I wanted more light, bought a xiaomi lightbar. Now I have quite some cables from the audio gear on the desk. Gonna make a deskshelf to my personal taste. The ones online I either don't like or find too expensive. I'd rather buy a new tool for those prices and make it myself learning as I go. I now know all my deskshelf needs because I haven't had one for a while now haha. Gonna be fun!

    Hi Jon great stuff as always. I know when it comes to monitors color calibration is a bit of a challenge especially when using a Mac. That said, ultra wides provide so much real estate that it's hard to by-pass. What was your reason for switching to the Studio display? I ask as it appeared you really enjoyed working on your Dell Ultra-wide. Did you feel like you were missing anything? I'm contemplating a change either from my LG 34 that came with a great ergonomic stand to two Apple studio displays or adding the LG Dual-up to my current setup to enhance my Photo/Video and flight navigation software. Also don't know for sure but I think the studio monitor only comes as a 27". I was looking into a 32" from Apple and it appears the Pro XDR might be the only choice at a much higher cost. (Not ready to sell a kidney just yet) Also hear Apple may be coming out with a newer option which tells me the size/clarity may improve, however the Apple tax we all have to pay may increase as well. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

    At the time, it was the picture quality, speakers and webcam that sold me. 32” or 34” UW is definitely the sweet spot though. I saw a new BenQ 32” monitor and Samsung should be coming out with a Studio Display competitor. Not sure if it’s already out.

    On chairs, I've owned almost all of the most recommended and expensive office chairs, Aeron, Cosm, Embody, Gesture... I'm a bigger guy, 6'3 250 with longer arms, so even with the Gesture that actually fit me unlike the Herman Millers, I ended up slouching. I since then have had a custom bench made for me, so I can sit in a variety of different positions without a backrest. I haven't looked back since. If I wanted to only relax at my desk it might be different, but for work and certain games you really want to be engaged, so active sitting is superior.
