The deployment setup

[heavy flare]

i'd say either another monitor or like a pair of speakers

[lapis obsidian]

i wouldnt use speakers, id invest in another monitor but i feel like the stand for my current one are in the way

i could go wall mount it, do you have any reccomendations for another monitor for stuff like youtube and discord

dont wanna overkill on a 2nd monitor

[heavy flare]

Just get another monitor that doesn't have a big stand

[heavy flare]

Ltrly get some one that is like 200 bucks or sum

Usually a good midrange thats just good for browsing while gaming

And all the guides from discords/youtube are from the youtubers/discord people's personal prerference

So I always do my own research

Also wall mount seems a little stupid rn cause your desk is so empty eitherway

[lapis obsidian]

Ah ok ty

[heavy flare]

Like i'd see it becoming reasonable if u had like big monitors

And if ur so keen on not having stands, get the arm mounts instead

[meager walrus]

do not get a $200 second monitor !! @lapis obsidian

[meager walrus]

what is this advice😟

[heavy flare]

''oh no someone elses advice did not fit mine ''

[meager walrus]

this is just objectively bad

[heavy flare]

See

Just what I said

[meager walrus]

200 for a secondary monitor being used for just youtube is low iq activities

[heavy flare]

I said it as an example

Jesus christ

He can spend however much he thinks is necessary on a monitor

[lapis obsidian]

yeah dw im taking that $200 very faintly

[lapis obsidian]

Can u recommend a 1440p monitor under 160?

[heavy flare]

U can ltrly go on ebay and buy a good monitor for like 120

I just said 200 if he doesnt wanna cheap out

[meager walrus]

for main monitor or secondary

[crimson folio]

eBay??????!!??? 😭

[heavy flare]

Ya I used to buy monitors from eBay cause good deals

[slim shale]

id prolly add some decoration

[heavy flare]

Also @meager walrus if you seem to think I got such bad recommendations why are you so silent?

Just like, why judge if not counter advice

[crimson folio]

I don’t think your advice is bad; I jsut am skeptical of buying used PC stuff from places like eBay, Facebook market place 🙌

[cunning elm]

Get a corner desk, then another monitor

[heavy flare]

I mean... that is really up for each person, and it really depends from WHO you buy it from and where you live, cause where I live, FB MP is actually a good place, got my car from there too lol

[heavy flare]

I should invest in one big time myself

[cunning elm]

Wdym?

[heavy flare]

I got too little desk space and a corner desk would gimme more desk space

[cunning elm]

Yes

If you are even a tiny bit like me, you will LOVE it. I really can't go back to a single monitor setup anymore. I use it for discord, YouTube, Spotify, but also for dual screen video editing, and if I have to write a document for example, I use Google on the left monitor with all my sources, so that I can use my main monitor to write the document. It's also very useful if you are a streamer, because then you can have OBS for example running on the other monitor so that you can keep a look out on the chat and see if everything works properly.

I've also had 3 monitors and tbh that's a bit overkill. It's still useful and I want to go back to it one day, but it's not really needed.

[crimson folio]

Nah man three is so good tbh; I run a game or whatever I am doing on my main then discord or YouTube on the second and then computer temps and usage on the third… but your right it is not necessary just looks cool 😂

[bright monolith]

I used to have discord on the left, game in the middle, YouTube on the right lol.

[crimson folio]

Ahh I used to have mine like that with the pc in the middle but now I run it with my main mounted and other two on the left

So like this basically

The one above the laptop is the main

[bright monolith]

Nice setup!

[crimson folio]

Thank you 🙌🙏

[bright monolith]

my phone camera is not that good, but this is my setup:

everything is around 3 months old (including the PC), other than the left monitor

[crimson folio]

Damnnnn that’s a sick setup I like especially the stream deck and desktop pad

[bright monolith]

Thanks!!

I want to buy another stream deck for my other setup

I miss it every single second 🤣

[crimson folio]

I was thinking of getting one is it worth it even if you don’t stream?

[bright monolith]

Yeah I bought it when I was streaming but I havent really streamed in ages. I still use it so much when I'm behind that setup, for things like spotify. Is so useful, I dont have to alt + tab, I can just press one button while staying focussed int he game. And with a 60% keyboard, you dont have the numpad etc, however you can bind all the numpad keys to the streamdeck

Same goes for all the F keys, which go up to like F25 or something so you get extra hotkeys than your keyboard has

You can also use it to launch multiple programs at 1 time and automatically position them to the place you chose. So for like gaming you can let it open your favorite game, discord, spotify, whatever and automatically position it so you dont have to drag windows around

[crimson folio]

Damn I didn’t know it offered that much😭

Might have to get one

[bright monolith]

I do have to admit, when you get it you will use it way more than later one, but it keeps being useful.

[crimson folio]

I gotcha, thanks man really appreciate\ it.

[bright monolith]

Btw; you can download the software already (yeah, you have to download software in order to make this thing work), so that you can assigning buttons etc already.

[crimson folio]

ahh gotcha thanks man
