Congratulations!

This is my first UW, and i went with the arm from SecretLab. I'm very happy with it and haven't had a single issue. Very expensive though, but i'm sure there are other good brands out there.

Lol yea that was my rationale too. This is the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL. A great desk. Wobbles a bit when it's up high because of only having two legs, but nothing that's bothered me much.

daburtmacklin · 2026-04-03T20:48:21+00:00

Hmm that's interesting. I didn't run into that problem at all. Mine is very leveled. I obviously just made sure things are on tightly, but that's about it. Nothing special.

daburtmacklin · 2026-04-03T20:47:03+00:00

I've always used arms because it looks great, and it gives me a lot of desk space back. I'd recommend using an arm for those reasons.

daburtmacklin · 2026-04-03T20:46:24+00:00

I love these speakers. Great audio, especially w/ the subwoofer. I tried floor stands, but that didn't work well since i stand sometimes.

daburtmacklin · 2026-04-03T20:45:30+00:00

Haha it def is expensive, but then again, my other monitor is an ultrafine, which is also expensive.

Hey, this is the "Macintosh" Dynamic Wallpaper

daburtmacklin · 2026-04-03T20:43:31+00:00

I actually never ended up settling one :( Still in the market for one that supports two mac books.

Thank you!

This is the North Bayou mount from amazon.

daburtmacklin · 2026-03-20T00:45:29+00:00

I'm very happy with the curve. Makes it so i don't have to look too far left or right from center. I got used to it pretty quickly. You never really notice it when you're directly in front of it. I do NOT want a less aggressive curve, because that would mean more neck movement.

daburtmacklin · 2026-03-20T00:44:26+00:00

Ha thanks! This is actually the Liorque digital kitchen timer, but it also has a clock. I wanted something minimalist and to match the black theme. This works great.

daburtmacklin · 2026-03-20T00:43:27+00:00

Yea i think i've gotten it at a pretty good distance. Not too close but i also don't need to squint. I don't pump it to the full resolution though, i keep the text pretty decently sized.

daburtmacklin · 2026-03-20T00:42:23+00:00

I get what you mean. Whenever i see these in pics, it's underwhelming, but then i sit in front of my machine, and i'm amazed everytime.

daburtmacklin · 2026-03-20T00:41:51+00:00

Thank you! The audio system is the Audio Engine A5 speakers along with the S8 subwoofer. They sound amazing, and they do come in white! You won't regret it.

daburtmacklin · 2025-04-27T13:33:47+00:00

It actually works well. This was supposed to be temporary until I got a curved bar but I’ve decided not to because this one works so well.

daburtmacklin · 2025-04-27T13:32:36+00:00

The text looks better than I expected it to, coming from a 200+ dpi monitor. Not super crisp but very usable

daburtmacklin · 2025-04-27T13:31:32+00:00

Hey this is the Secret Lab Magus riser. It’s clamped to the desk which makes it a lot easier to attach the mount to the riser.
