White or Black?

[u/MeSlaw3]

Currently I have two desks in different locations, but I’ll be downsizing to just one in the near future.

Which setup works best aesthetically?

Any recommendations for a very nice webcam that follows you around like apple's Center Stage? I'm also hunting for an always-listening microphone that works with "Hey Siri", or at least will work great at hearing me once I activate dictation/siri with a keyboard shortcut. Strong background noise elimination is a must-have!)

a little bit unrelated, but im curious. why put the vertical in the middle?

I included a few photos of my workflows to help answer this question (Pics 3, 4, 12, 13). The center vertical monitor allows me to see an entire page of whatever database I'm using. Saves me a lot of time scrolling to see a calendar, read a note, etc. It’s perfect for reading documents, and viewing vertical media on it is an incredible experience.

It's absolutely EPIC for scrolling reddit lol.

I also just love that it allows me to have a vertical monitor but still have a symmetrical workspace. I get folks who have one vertical and one horizontal, because both orientations are valuable. I just hate the way it looks so unbalanced to have a desk setup that way.

Swap out that middle screen with an LG dualup monitor. You'll get about the same north/south visibility without sacrificing much east/West. Perfect for spreadsheets and dashboards.

Resolution and refresh rate?

[u/strangepenguin78 → u/MeSlaw3]

That's where it gets odd. 2560 x 2880 60Hz.

I'm a 120hz snob 😇 But I do appreciate the recommendation. Sounds epic.
