[FadeToBlack]

I'll second that! AMAZING setup!

l3ebs How big is that TV?

my guess... 32 or 37. more likely a 32 comparing the size of it to the xbox

 

[l3ebs]

hey guys thanks for the comments.. Its a 32". Hoping to go to a 52" at some point

 

[wawathings]

wow l3ebs thats a nice set up?
where are you from ?
what do you do for a living? thats a nice room is it an apartment or second level house ?
one of the best iv seen on macrumors.

When I first got the LED- had it set up dual screen like this:

Since changed my mind and just going the single screen option. Think its a lot cleaner on my desk- and when I un-dock after work and just work off my notebook at home- I'm not reliant on having a second screen becuase I'm so used to it.

 

[l3ebs]

hey mate.
live in new zealand.
last year of high school.

cheers

Just my Opinion, your dual screen setup looks better to me.. Also, dual screen setup is always better than a single screen due to the extra real estate available..

But again.. Just my opinion.. Great setup btw..

I disagree, his single display looks much better and cleaner. It gets annoying to have to turn and look down at the second display.

Unless the screens are at an equal level, I always prefer single display mode.

I have to agree i guess with both these guys
I would take dual screen any day over single screen (not with my macbook, but with a MBP) but they HAVE to be at the same eye level, otherwise my neck would be shot in 2 hours!

I'd have to say this is the nicest setup I've seen. I'm *very* jealous

I'm hoping to upgrade to a Mac Pro this summer, but there's no way I could either afford a 30" ACD (Let alone a new LCD TV), or fit a desk that size in my room.

I appreciate it!


Oh God. The desk. I forgot to measure my staircase (which is curved) and the door opening and it was a PITA getting it up the stairs! Took 4 people, a couple furnature dollys, gloves and a dinged up wall! It's 6' long and 36" deep.

Absolutely right. Not only can it damage your neck but your eyes too. The constant and quick switching from a bright lit external display to a darker smaller display just can't be good for you.

Wow some really nice setups, I actually went through all the pages;p

Yeah, I'm still a bit torn. It was kind of nice having the 2 screens, but I like the minimal feel of my workspace now a bit more.

Agree, that was a big annoying.

Yeah, if they were both at eye level, I might have to give it another try.

Get the aluminum laptop stand for MB..

I am sure that it will raise it to the same eye level as the LED display and also make your entire setup looks even better..

My set up. MBP as is in sig. Out of pic is a 500GB time capsule and my iphone

YAY! BLUE everywhere!!

Lol, "...For Dummies"
You can imagine my horror when I discovered the following at my local bookstore. But after reading the entire cover found out it isn't a reference for those "dummies" who have contracted Hepatitis.

 

[macgrl]

I do like blue. The glass desk goes quite nicely I think.

 

[St0rMl0rD]

Here's what my setup will remain like until there's a new iMac 24" released, which will replace my hackintosh. One's with the iPhone dock, one's with my Apple cap. Sorry for the crappy pics (iPhone took 'em).

Peace,

With the display of your mac down, will it not hurt your display.
I'm afraid the temperature will damage the mac.

What's your opinion?

Why do you think Apple supported the option if it was damaging to the machine? Of course it won't damage it.
