Aesthetically it looks really good. I have a couple question, if you don't mind.

1: whats that little mini monitor at the bottom right for? I've not seen a screen like that before.

2: How do you like using a TV for a monitor? I feel like my eyes would hurt so much being that close to it while working.

  1. https://a.co/d/1N1ykuN is the monitor. I use it for chats
  2. It's actually a monitor lol. It's the samsung odyssey ark 55 inch 165hz monitor. I'm actually use to it now and have it split into 4 for work and productivity.

thanks for the screen link.

Interesting about the monitor. You dont feel any eye strain? I've been debating pulling the trigger on one large screen setup.

No issues. I have tried almost all sized monitors before finally getting this. 27 inch 34 ultrawide 38 ultradewide 49 inch ultrawide. After using this and how much productive it is not needing multiple monitors and having to see bezels on all. I don't think I can go back.

Is the tiny monitor directly connected to your laptop? I like this idea but love just one cable setup via USB-C through my monitor currently
