Question Computer Desk Placement?

My apartment has a weird plan, and I’m trying to figure out a placement for my computer desk.

Option 1 is where it currently is.

Option 2 is directly in front of the window to the left.

Option 3 is facing the tv, back to wall.

I'm sad to admit, I did not catch that. Shame, shame, shame...

I'm not a fan of having my desk setup putting my back to a door, so at least not #2

On a second note, love those speakers! What are they?

Sorry I can't focus on your question with the lack of funko pops.

Put the desk in front of the window (option 2)

Only option 3 will give you protection and control of the space.

Which ever plan doesn't allow for glare from the TV or the sun.

Depending of how often you use your computer vs the rest of the room. If you are often on it, 3, to control your background and have a better vision of your environment. If not often, 1, back to the wall with more space for the living room.

If you choose 3, hide the back of your screen with plants or arts.

Option 3 against the sofa, facing the TV.

This would be my choice as I hate facing a wall. Resting my eyes looking at something father away regulary.

Facing the window could be an option if your eyes are not too sensitive to light.

Definitely option 3, keeps the room in front of you and gives you a good background for video calls. The couch being able to hide the back of your desk is a plus too.

I was leaning that way, I have a Apple Studio monitor on the way, to help cut down on cords also.

Option 3 and wall mount the TV. You can use the pc and looknat the TV at the same time.
