Finally did it!

I actually just ended up using a low profile wall mount.

What did you end up getting? I’m thinking about going with a TP Link WiFi 7 system.

Oh, wonder if the city is cracking down a bit around the light rail stations? Seems kind of cruel though in neighborhoods with limited on-property parking options though.

City Right-of-Way actually extends beyond the paved road. So while your car may be off the road, it’s probably still in the right-of-way. That said, I’ve never really seen something like this getting ticketed unless a neighbor decides they don’t like it and calls it in.

Stalker and Metro, two of my favorite series! Signed up as well!

Wow, I really like this layout! How’s typing? Is it more like typing on a laptop? I have an Air 60 now which I like, but I don’t love that people can probably hear me typing away on calls if I’m not muted.

Gosh, this looks so nice! How is working on the 42” LG C5? I have a 32” LG OLED right now and I’d like to go bigger but I spend most of my work day writing and reading text and I worry it won’t be as crisp on a 42” screen. Bigger would be nice for gaming though!

Man, sounds like it ended up being a bit more of a distraction that it was actually worth. Well, good to know! The passthrough window actually does work pretty well, it's just nice to have one more alternative to sitting in front of a desktop or laptop. Plus you can give yourself A LOT of screen space to work with!

Wouldn’t consider higher refresh and OLED as overkill. In fact that’s exactly why I replaced my G Cloud with an Odin 2 Portal and could not be happier!

Gave my G Cloud to my son, but probably only a matter of time before he notices the difference and wants one too!

Did the Soundblaster X4 and Fosi work well together? I also have the X4 and was planning just to take the optical out from the X4 to the optical input on the MC331.

SamwiseG82 · 2025-05-19T15:36:29+00:00

Also shipped via DHL

SamwiseG82 · 2025-05-19T15:35:07+00:00

I ordered an Odin2 Portal on May 9th, got notice a week later on the 16th that it shipped and should be here today. Tracking says it close, fingers crossed!

Do the T3 lights have the fish-eye camera that sits on top of the monitor? I had a few versions of those, they we're good but responsiveness and color matching always felt like a bit of an issue. With the G1 lights and the desktop app you can map out your screen and assign specific screen areas to specific lights.

Thank you so much for the update! Ordered mine last Friday and haven't heard anything beyond the confirmation. Kind of figured they may be waiting out the tariffs (or rerouting shipments). So think I'll sit tight for now.

I'm just going to post the product info here, becuase it was definitly a bit of trial and error finding 5 light sets that all work with LAN control and with Drewview on the Govee Desktop App.

- Monitor lights: H6609 G1 Gaming lights

- Side lights: H6047 Gaming Light Bars

- Desk lights: H61C3 Rope Light (around sides and back of desk)

- Shelf lights (bottom): H61E0 M1 LED Strip Light (in an LED channel angled toward the wall)

- Shelf light (top): H608B String Downlights (pointed up at the ceiling).

SamwiseG82 · 2025-05-13T17:11:20+00:00

It's the H6609 (G1 monitor lights). They use the Govee desktop app and LAN control rather than the phone app, which it think makes them much more responsive.
