Nice, like how the monitor is at a higher level than the tabletop by design. 👌

This is interesting! @skryking are you quite tall, or lean back at your desk?

I tend to lean back a bit, I'm about 5' 9" so not overly tall. I find having the big screen on top forces me to move my neck more which helps prevent neck stiffness and pain.

One of the cleaner setups I've seen.

How are you finding working on a big screen vs say a dual setup?

I’m definitely liking it.

Simpler to manage than multiple monitors and more overall software-driven flexibility. I can continue to make better and better use of my window manager.

I do need a bigger desk so I can back up a bit. It’s currently a little too close to my face.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.
With my 22" dualies, when I want one to sit vertically I have to prop it with some wine boxes :D

Haha, yeah, that screen is the same size as the table it seems!
It looks like you can get a narrower field of view with a setup like that. I find myself leaning over to sides sometimes just to see the outer edges of my screens.
