so this is my current setup:
my main computer is the 16 inch m5 pro MacBook Pro, and to the side I have a dell 9570 xps 15, and a MacBook Neo I just got for days I don't want to carry my heavy MacBook Pro.
caldigit ts3+ dock - allows me to switch between my Mac and xps.
xiaomi 34inch 1440x3440 180hz ultrawide display.
dell 27 inch 4k 60hz display (vertical).
volt 276 audio interface.
8tb seagate firecuda hdd hub.
kanto yu powered speakers.
iPad mini 7 - I use it as a small monitor with sidecar when I'm at my desk.
iPad Pro 11 m4 - my school notebook and in general an amazing device.
xiaomi light bar.
anker c200 2k webcam.
logitech mx master 4.
keychron k10 he keyboard.
apple Magic Trackpad.
AirPods Max (which are in repair - so I use my sony xm4).
diy 1.5m wooden desk shelf.
a small 4.2 rcd display with an esp32-s3 that is a pomodoro clock and is connected to my google calendar.
plus I love stationary so I have a few midori notebooks and the writing block, which i use with a KAKIMORI aluminum fountain pen.
upgrades i'm planning to do:
1. I ordered the satechi cubedock tb5 hub to replace my cal digit ts3+.
2. I ordered 2 monitor arms to alleviate them from the desk shelf.
3. I'm waiting for a ulanzi d200 stream deck to arrive for app shortcuts.
4. I ordered a new keyboard wooden wrist rest to fit my full size keyboard.
I do love my desk setup and I spend most of my day here when I'm not in school I wish it had more natural light but my unit is a basement. I definitely need a nice lamp or something to the side but I haven't found one I liked so far.
what do you think about my setup?
It’s pretty good! I had the 144hz version for the past 4 years, but 2 weeks ago there was a power outage and it was fried…. I got the 180hz version to replace it because it was in a great price, and it’s a better display than the 144hz
But in those 4 years I didn’t have a single problem, and the power outage is not really a defect in the screen but just unfortunate lol.
Anyway I recommend it if you get if for a good price
Ultrawides are either 29 or 34 inches (for your budget)
If you want to stick with 32inch, theres the Arzopa M3RC, its 4k 144hz IPS Monitor at around 12-13k.
For 27inch, theres the ASUS TUF VG27AQM5A, 1440p 300hz IPS and is 15-16k
For actual 34 inch ultrawides the Xiaomi G34WQi is 15k and is pretty decent as with other Xiaomi monitors in that budget range
if you can stretch a bit more and want something BIG, then the Titan Army P40UG is like 18K? Its a flat ultrawide
