MEOW! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Hard to capture the monitor's OLED blacks when the sun is shining from the window....

The desk is a work/play setup with my employer supplied laptop under the shelf and a TESmart HDMI KVM hidden behind my rig. Just picked up the Sundara's to replace the SteelSeries Arctis 3 pictured. Serious upgrade on all fronts.

I have had the LG 48 CX for 2 years now, the 43 was not announced then. Would have gone that route since 48 is big, and I have it on the wall with a deep desk.

Still the immersion is unbelievable. Playing shooter games like DOOM Eternal is unreal and epic. Same can be said for racing games. Colours pop and the contrast is perfect.

Expensive monitor, how do you find it in use? 32-40 is my perfect size for desktop. OLED is brilliant on PC.
Need color accuracy for my other hobby (photography). Yes OLED does really POP. Its close to me (and since I am sized constraint as you can see my station) so 32 is just perfect.

Cool, didn't know OLEDs was at the point where they can replace the good IPS screens for colour accuracy.

It has class leading specs in color accuracy (product page). A review in YT is here by HDVTest.

Autonomous standing desk frame and $50 hollow-core tabletop from Ikea

PC - Thermaltake Tower 100 case, Ryzen 5700X, RTX 3080, BeQuiet fans - completely silent unless I'm playing games and then it doesn't matter

Right side of desk (work, Discord, too hot to run the big gear) - Schiit Hel and Audeze LCD-2 with headset cable

Left side of desk (more audio drugs please) - Denafrips Ares II (USB from PC, optical from Wiim Mini, soon to be replaced by AudioGD R28), Mjolnir-modded Stax SRM-727A, Schiit Ragnarok 2 (mostly on speaker amp duty these days) and Schiit Folkvangr

Headphones: Stax SR-007 Mk2, Audeze LCD-4, Koss ESP950 with Stax cable adapter (not fancy but I'm sentimental about it, my first truly hi-fi headphones)

Corners: JBL Studio 580 towers powered by Ragnarok 2

Ton of changes to my desk in the past 2 months.
  • PC temps were terrible during gaming (90's C) so I moved the parts to a Fractal Define Mini C case and rebuilt the RTX 3080 to hybrid liquid cooling
  • Main DAC+headphone amp is now Audio-gd R28, with fixed DAC output to the Stax amp and Schiit Folkvangr
  • Folkvangr sits on an 11x18" metal monitor stand to space it out from the R28, also acts as a preamp for the Schiit Vidar speaker amp on the floor (a Vidar with tube flavor has to be heard to be believed)

I think the best PC case is the Lian Li Lancool Mesh II. But even with that one I had to put 2 coolers under the 3080Ti to reduce temps. And yes, it's undervolted.

GamingRigNew_04.jpg


Setup:
AMD Ryzen 3900X at 4.3GHz all cores (PBO disabled)
Noctua NH-U14S
GSkill Ripjaws 32GB RAM 3600MHz CL16 tuned
Asus RTX3080Ti Strix O12G
MSI MEG X570 ACE
Samsung 970 PRO 1TB (OS) + several other SSDs and HDDs for storage
1200W Corsair AX1200i
several others fans and so on...

Noctua Fans :thumbsup: Paid more when I built my pc to get all black Noctua, but dunno why with a closed case without glass.
Got a Fractal silenced case and temps keep itself quite low considering being such silenced build and case with a 3080 OC.
