Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 19)

[James Stark]

The screen is phenomenal! The colours are superb, and I haven't touched it with a colorimeter yet. I just knocked the blindingly bright brightness down from 70-30%.

Just stunning! Where did you pick it up at? I would love to be running this. Right now I'm running a 28" acer 1080 via HDMI. Nothing special but works for me!

I got it from overclockers.co.uk and shipped to Ireland.

It's got a resolution of 3440x1440, I haven't heard anything of a UHD one of 5120 × 2160 yet.

Since I'm in Ireland, I use the same power connectors as the UK so I didn't have an issue there.

It's worth noting LG are rather fussy about regional warranties, and if you import you'll be in a world of hurt. For instance someone in the UK ordered one months ago from Germany, he developed some natty backlight bleed and UK LG department wanted nothing to do with it. Forced him to ship back to the german retailer and deal with them.

So you're much better off waiting for it to come into stock in the States.

I was mistaken when I said ultra HD. What I meant was the 3440x1440 instead of 2560x1080. They do infact sell the 3440x1440 in the states. It was just a pain to find. I just ordered one. Its back ordered though so I assume I'll be waiting a while.

Stock disappeared to the backlight bleed issues on the first revision, so if you get one now it should be in pristine condition.

I'm really excited. My plan is one half being my Gaming pc, the other half being my Macbook Pro retina. Both connected via synergy. So it should be like a true dual mac pc setup.

EDIT: I'm hoping the dual link up will work for that anyways.

That is the desk!!!

Darnit.. I was getting a custom desk built and I remembered that there was a desk posted by someone on here that I LOVE, but couldn't find it for the life of me after browsing various setup threads.

Mine ended up turning out similarly anyway.

Did you ever get that custom desk completed?

This is almost the exactly my setup as well (Except white A2s, and Air instead of Pro, and slightly different chair & desk style).
Parsimonious yet inviting, very nice.

How is you setup almost exactly the same as his yet almost everything is different?

Desk?

Hi diotav,

where did you get that desk, love it

 

[Epikuros]

Yeah.. rereading my post, the similarities sorta slipped away. On paper at least.

Still, the same speakers, same speaker stands, aluminium macbook on a table about the same dimensions and colour in front of a chair that's about the same that I have. It looks pretty much the same. You gotta believe me!

Did you ever get that custom desk completed?

I sure did.. quite a while ago.. I think sometime last fall, maybe? I'm partially retarded when it comes to estimation and time, so it could have been a week ago for all I know.

Hey diotav where is that chair from/what is it called?

Beautiful setup overall! If my new speaker stands ever get here I will post pictures of my desk, though it doesn't compete with some of the ones on here.

Thanks!
Hunter

I think I may have already posted this here.. because I don't know why I would block out the picture and business cards otherwise.

This is a pretty old photo. It actually doesn't really look much like this anymore, but the desk is still the desk.

My hackintosh triple boot for windows 7, OSX, and Linux Mint. Covered the monitor in first image with a chalkboard type thingy to spare you all from seeing my reflection in my Wonder Woman undies. You're welcome.

I literally just built a Hack using the same case last week, is this the M version or just the regular one?

I used the M version and love this case. Even though cable management was a bit difficult I still managed to get everything in there.

Very nice. I especially like the sunglasses holder.

Mine is the regular case. I would have gone with the M case had I known the "handles" on mine would be so flimsy.

Are those the Swan M10 speakers? How do you like them? I have been looking for a pair for a while but haven't had any luck. Also that is a very nice looking desk.

Thanks,
Hunter
