There’s something special about having a clean and minimal dual display and now more than ever a productive workspaces needed to not only get things done but to stay motivated and inspired as we’ve spent more and more time at home first off I like to say that I’m very grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to share my setup this has been a work in progress for a while so by no means did I built this setup in one day it’s important to figure out what setup works best for you otherwise you’ll spend money on displays and a setup that doesn’t maximize your productivity since I’ll be working from home for the foreseeable future I thought it’d be best to go with a dual display setup that’s similar to my desk set up an office I chose to do you 2017 D monitors for my dual display I didn’t get both monitors at the same time but I knew that Dells ultra sharp series of monitors are high-quality and works seamlessly together in a multi-monitor setup I did consider getting an ultra wide monitor and having that as my main display but I realized that a dual display is better for someone who codes like myself on a regular basis so if need be I can rotate my monitor 90 degrees to portrait mode which makes reading longer program files easier these monitors offer a fully adjustable pivot tilt and swivel so I figured it’s a no-brainer to go with these ultra sharp displays for my setup also 27 inches with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 at 60 Hertz gives me more than enough screen real estate our programming and color accuracy and clarity while video editing what stood out to me the most is the build and physical design with minimal branding reducing distraction the infinity edge makes them practically bezel-less with a near seamless dual display experience the top left and right borders measure at seven point three millimeters and bottom border measuring at a little over eight millimeters the del u 27:17 d– monitors come with the stand that is quite nice and sturdy but I decided to replace the stand with the dual monitor desk mount made by inland this mount is specially designed to free up space which allows for greater productivity and organization which is something I value because my desk is only 47 inches long and 23 inches wide the black color pairs well with the white desktop and dell ultrasharp monitors so it seamlessly integrates into my setup the heavy-duty C clamp has made adjusting the monitors a lot easier actually I did use the vivo monitor mount for a single display and although this mount is more expensive it’s much more sturdier and is much easier to build and break down the maximum turning rate is 180 degrees to the left and to the right the turning rate is important if you want to maximize your monitor swivel versatility the arms do extend to the back so you’ll want to pull your desk out so they don’t scratch your wall overall I’m satisfied with this dual monitor amount it holds both monitors in place very well the j5 create USB 3.1 adapter is what I’m currently using to connect the display to my Dell XPS 15 this is a 7.9 inch male 2 dual HDMI female multi monitor adapter I know there are many different ways to connect dual monitors to a computer or a laptop but I found this the most simple way that’s fast and portable along with being durable and compatible with Windows and Mac since my desk isn’t very large I only have the basic peripherals a couple of fake IKEA plans a desk lamp and a desk pad to prevent shipping peripherals of choice are the Logitech MX master 3 and Logitech MX keys this mouse and keyboard pair perfectly together well they were designed that way putting my palms and wrists is the MX palm rest which has made a huge difference in comfort ability and performance so that’s my dual monitor death setup I know it’s a bit minimal in bare-bones but it’s easily customizable to whatever my liking is at the time and I plan on making upgrades to the desktop along with adding some drawers and speakers as always thank you for watching this video comment down below some of your thoughts give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it at all or if you want to see more content like this subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already I hope you and your families are staying safe and healthy and have a blessed rest of your week I’ll see you all soon peace .
