What’s on the rack and on the desk.
Everything here I bought at retail and use every week. If a piece of gear drops off this page, it’s because I sold it or it broke. Last reviewed: May 2026.
Desk Setup
The desk, the monitor, the arm, the cable tray. Things you touch every day.
Branch Standing Desk
Solid frame, real wood top, fair price.
Held a 32″ OLED, a mic arm, and a small mixer for two years without a sag. Motor is quiet, controller is dumb in a good way.
LG 32GS95UE OLED
Dual-mode 4K/240 — the last monitor I needed to buy.
4K at 120 Hz for work, 1080p at 480 Hz for games. Anti-glare is excellent. Burn-in mitigations are aggressive enough that I trust it.
Ergotron HX
The only arm I trust under 30 lbs.
Heavy, mechanical, no gimmicks. Holds the OLED perfectly level. Mount it to a desk with a real grommet.
Humanscale NeatTech
The cable tray that doesn't sag.
Steel, not mesh. Magnetic dividers. It costs four times what the Ikea one does and it shows.
Anker 575 USB-C Dock
13 ports, two displays, one cable.
Lives behind the monitor. Drives a 4K display, charges the laptop, runs the keyboard and webcam. It just works.
Onway Curved Monitor Light Bar with RGB Backlight
Bias light bar for the curved monitor.
Just added to the desk. The RGB defaults are gaudy but the warm-white modes are usable. Full take after a few weeks behind the screen.
