What Monitor is that?

I've updated my setup. I threw out my glass desk because of the daily fingerprints and smudges. I highly do not recommend one! Got a new Ikea Gustav!

^ You know how I do. Haha, nah. I had the 23" on the wall for my main HDTV, but I just had to upgrade.
 
The disadvantages of having a glass desk are the fingerprints, you can see through it (messy wires), and dust is visible in a day or two. Ikea desks are much better. :D

I have an Ikea glass desk, best of both worlds!
it's frosted so you can't see through it and the smudges are hidden :D

What a stupidly nice setup :)

That alone would convince me to buy a white Samsung :eek:
 
Thanks for the comments. Also, it serves as an alright external monitor. Very bright and beautiful picture, but I guess an 19" would serve me best because of the resolution.
 
arcsbite, what's the small screen on the right, showing the white Apple logo? I'm guessing an on-line photo frame? Details please :)
 
Since there's a wall stud directly in the middle of the Samsung, I had to have two speakers on both sides of the stud for my center speaker. Works the same! :D

I know exactly what you mean. I suffer it on 2 desks. I'm getting sick of the skin marks, especially where my arms rests on the glass when using the mouse, finger marks on either side of the glass and dust to suffer as well. Feels as if everyday I've cleaned it and the next day you would think it was never cleaned.
Don't get me wrong I love glass desks, but the constant cleaning of it everyday at times feels its just not worth the hassle.
 
Afro1989....If I were you I'd relocate your desk....seems to me that with all those goodies and a wall mounted Sammy your setup should look cooler....I think you should have picked out a different desk.....just my opinion though...peace
