Eliot's final(?) setup

Eliot's final(?) setup

This is my setup now. Long way from Here's my standing desk - needs work!

This is a monitor that was recommended a lawyer who helped me. Ron Smith .

I am like Ron and unlike with Tyler's Setup I need a lot of screen real estate - I like to write documents, edit code and see the application I am working on.

Ron is also like me trying to reduce his stress also this year with going to the gym where he connect with his son and reading Stoic philosophy. I too enjoy philosophy ( in simple words I can understand quickly).

I got the SAMSUNG 49-inch Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor | QHD, 240hz, 1000R Curved, QLED, NVIDIA G-SYNC & FreeSync | LC49G95TSSNXZA Model, Black

Ergotron – HX HD Premium Heavy Duty Gaming Monitor Arm, Single Monitor Desk Mount – for 1000R Curved Ultrawide Monitors Up to 49 Inches, 28 to 42 lbs, VESA 75x75mm or 100x100mm – HD Pivot, White

The Ergotron monitor arm is serious quality. No more droopy monitors for me! I looked at some cheaper products - this is seriously good.

I had Peter K hide all the cords:

OLED displays have a reputation for burn in.

@John Qi pointed out that OLED is really good for deep blacks. There is better display technology coming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroLED but this does not seem to be widely available yet.

Ron has in his words:

3.5 years as of now and 4 for the one I have at home. 
No burn in at my end and it is on 10 hours a day 6 days a week. 

Samsung 49" Odyssey OLED G9 5120 x 1440 240Hz 1800R Curved Monitor

Rhys my child pointed out that some people may be more observant of burn in - a lot of reviews complained of burn in. So he is suggesting I go for this monitor:
