Great video, thank you. I’m just in the process of putting exactly this kind of set up together right now. Six months down the line and USB-C hub monitors are starting to become a lot more reasonably priced. I’ve just bough an LG IPS 27” 4K with display/data/96W power delivery, 400nits and DCI-PC calibration for under £400. This means I don’t need to have a separate USB-C hub as it connects via one USB C cable to the laptop and I can plug everything else into the back of the monitor which is perfect when you have only two ports in the MBA! 😀
Im just using my MacBook connected to my 4K tv without any other external devices Using keyboard, screen and touchpad of the MacBook And additionally my iPad Pro 12.9 as a third „monitor“ via sidecar This is pretty clean for software engineering On my TV is my IDE MacBook screen browser tabs and other stuff On iPad Screen is Terminal
Another great video! I really liked the optional configurations you mentioned at the end. There are some great ideas there. And I loved the discussion on the screen light. The screen light is something that could really help my room lighting.
Finally....a real person presenting information. Awesome video. Really like your informative but fun presentation of facts (Weatherproof and waterproof as an example. LOL) Keep up the good work.
I'm here two years on after being told looking down at my MacBook is bad for my neck. I got a laptop stand but the 13 inch is way too small. So now, we move on to adding a monitor (because I don't like the new iMac's and I play video games too). our tips are still useful 2 years on, so thanks!
I've been searching the market for a monitor that's color accurate when you connect the Macbook. Thanks to Jerry, I purchased the Samsung UR55 from Best Buy for $300. As mentioned in the video, the color accuracy is phenomenal! Thank you again!!!
4:36 ma man just mentioned the keyboard I am using with my mac. It's slim, lightweight, easy to carry around. One downside, if you get too comfy with this key, then your key travel is shortened than most keys available.
The reviewing method is great but i subscribed because I loved how your guide is very casual and has no marketing screams plus whenever you make an error you make a quick joke like a normal person. Love it! Coming back for more since I'm subscribed now.
Really cool setup. Like the way that the monitor light has a memory function too so you don't have to keep resetting all the time. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Great budget desk setup and informative video. I have the Logitech Z333 speakers on my desk. The aux cable from the speakers are plugged in to a USB port on my hub via an adapter. I still have the one USB-C cable from the hub plugged into the computer which keeps the single cable grab and go functionality on the laptop.
@@JerrySchulze since you replied, I am gonna ask you about this monitor from LG with 4 side borderless design (MP89HM) comes in 27 and 24 inch. Only con is 1080p display. I know it wont be an issue if I go with 24 inch, but what do you think about 1080p on 27. I am not into pro photo editing, even though I do a little bit which when needed can compare with macbook monitor for precise colour.
@@JerrySchulze Thank alot for the reply!!! also there is another option in 24 inch monitor- Lenovo P24h-20. Pros are 1) 2K res on 24" inch is crispy 2) 1 USB-C + 4 USB A at the back. So, just one cable for power and display. 3) Ultra thin 3 side bezel with matte finish. 4) for the best price of $299. BUT, after a long research 😜, i found the one I need. 1) 27", but its a 2K res. Its fine for me. 2) 4 side edge-less design with "NO" branding over the chin of the monitor (looks like apple XDR monitor). Which goes in favour for the apple's GREY theme. 3) USB-C. A must for a single cable solution. 4) For the best price of $349. (just $50 dollars more) Its the Lenovo's Q27H-10. 😀 (PLEASE DON'T MISTAKEN it for Q27Q-10, because the latter has a chin, with branding on the left)
I'm into art as well and I've seen some wooden table easels that are very similar to the second laptop stand you've shown! I know you can only do one thing at a time, but I think its still a great thing to consider for multipurpose.
Would you change anything in this setup now that it's been a couple years? I'm not sure what monitor to go with. The price is right on that Samsung, but I'm wondering if something better has come out since with the same price range. Thanks. Helpful video. Subscribed.
just a small recommendation for any one wanting to buy a K380 logitech keyboard the round keys are actually smaller than the square keys, mean while the space between the keys are wider which force you to type more accurately, and after long hours of typing on the logitech keyboard K380, my hands hurt a lot, so may be just me not getting used to the round keys, or may be it's not for everyone, anw, just a recommendation, I've been using it for nearly two years and still can't get use to it
please do a video that shows how to set up and use an M1 macbook air in clamshell mode with a regular HDMI monitor for my 14 yr old daughter. She has a monitor and keyboard and mouse and an old macbook air. She will have a new M1 shortly and we want to know if she can use her M1 as her main computer when she comes home from school by using her monitor to see a bigger area from her macbook.
Hi! You can absolutely do that with the Apple av adapter, a dock like CalDigit, or any usbc to hdmi adapter. Just need the computer connected to display and power and that’s it.
@@JerrySchulze does that dock you mentioned also act as a power charger for the M1 macbook air..? I'm just trying to understand every single part of this so i don't mess it up. As my daughter will take her macbook air everywhere with her I'd like a power supply/charger permanently based on her desk in case she leaves her original one somewhere or at school.
With the CalDigit SOHO you would connect the MacBook power adapter to it and then it would power your MacBook. But you can use it without the power adapter.

Hey, I'm not tech savvy lol. I havea Macbook Pro 13 inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports. I want a 30=36 inch, curved monitor, that's compatible. I need it to be able to display 4 windows at once, with good clarity, I'm willing to pay up to a $1,500 if necessary, but won't be using it for gaming or content creation, so if you can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate the help, thanks.
I didn't know these screen lights existed. Interesting. You can also look at upcycling older gear with adapters. I have some good analog speakers and bought a $5 Bluetooth 5 adapter that takes power from micro USB and takes a headphone plug. Works great! I'm also using a $15 USB-C to mini-DP adapter to plug my m1 air into a 2010 27" iMac in Target Display Mode.
If you already have ports on your Macbook Pro, can you bypass the need for a dock and have an external display work? Or do you recommend the use of a dock?
Got the same Samsung display fed from a MacBook Pro M1. I came from a 2019 5K iMac so I can definitely tell the difference in quality but honestly it's not all that noticeable.

How do you connect your macbook to this monitor? Through HDMI or DP? Which one do you think is better? 😊
I found displayport works best for me.
@@JerrySchulze any recommendations on specific DP cables
dell p2721q does it better and can replace the stand and the expensive dock. Otherwise, nice setup
I actually love this setup. Is there a video that you can show on how to set it up? I’m not a tech person, but I can follow directions well.
Hmm, no I don't have a how to setup video but I will consider that. Each item is very easy to connect to each other so I am sure you wouldn't have any issue.
@@JerrySchulze Actually it is. Just built my setup. Thank you so much.
@@bonkennethlandicho8084 Hi Bon, I am interested in this set up also. Can you describe what other cables/accessories needed to enable this set up? I read about DisplayPort. What type should I get? And how is the connection like? MacBook to Hub via USB-C and Hub to monitor via DisplayPort? Thanks.
What desk is that, and is it big enough to fit possibly a normal sized notebook and textbook, along with the rest of the setup minus the pad?
ikea desk, 72" wide I think.
i choose the ur55 out of chance only because it was the only 4k budget monitor in best buy and i do not regret my purchase. The screen is super crisp. The only think that bugs me is the brightness i usually prefer my monitors to be super bright but again its a small compromise for a great 4k monitor
how does it run with the mac? other 4k monitors i've tried run so badly!!!
@@ConorReilly_ what do you mean runs badly? In what sense like mine is perfect but my perfect is subjective. Do you mean like color accuracy or white spots in a black lcd setting or the HDR in it. Help me out a bit so I can help you out lol.
@@13gta the last monitor like this I plugged in started by crashing my mac and then it just tanked its performance. Ignoring that, the ghosting on the mouse was just unusable levels of awful
What dock did u use ? I just got the same monitor for my MacBook Air m1
Hi Jerry, I bought the MacBook Air M1 and I got the Samsung 28" UR55. Can you tell me, how to calibrate the colors correctly. do you have a tip? Thank you so much! Tommy
I have a Datacolor SpyderX for calibration geni.us/drJHpFH but I found I still need to reduce the magenta.
the macbook screen tilts by itself, and you can swivel it, why do you want this stand?
to raise it up for better ergonomics.
I love the screen bar idea. But how would that work with an external webcam?
Could be an issue I guess unless you can raise the camera up further.
@@JerrySchulze how did you power the light bar? The USB port at the back of the samsung UR55 display doesn't output power.
