 What's up internet? This is my 2023 update at my multi-monitor setup. And I swear that this video's point isn't just to talk about the magnificent ROG PG48UQ, OLED 48 inches, 165Hz or so I think refresh rate, although that is the main difference for this year's setup. I've used 4 monitors for a couple of years but my primary one for a long time was a BenQ 27-incher, 2K 144Hz, so very decent. Again, it was a whole saga how I fell in love with the ROG PG48UQ. You can look at it in the other videos, but this is going to be strictly productivity guys, for real. Although I do have to admit that this monitor allows me to buy Windows keys in stunning detail and of course you know where this is going. We're going to be hearing about our sponsor CDKey. For those of you who don't know, we also use CDKey for, it's so huge I have to pan out so that you can see the monitor. We do use CDKey for the shop quite extensively and we've bought hundreds of keys from these guys. So when we say it's recommended, we're putting our money where our mouth is kasi kaya kami ginagamit namin on a very regular basis. So we already have an account so we just need to sign in. We use them to buy Windows keys, Windows 10 and Windows 11. The links are already available dito sa home page nila, but you can also find them in the video description below. Let's say you need to get Win10 Pro. Just click on it. Buy now. Again, you do need an account but it's very easy to set up if you have any kind of e-commerce account sanay na sanay ka na dito. And here we are at the cart. I've added the cart. The most important thing you need to do is to make sure you put in our code HS20. 20 is 2020 when we signed up with them. So three years na kami na with CDKey. Di sila fly by night. They're a legit quality operation that we use all the time. HS20 and you click apply. And you notice you get a hefty discount. It's like 20% or so I think. So here from 20221 naging 16.66 nalang you submit order. And there are various modes to pay. Actually kami naka-paypal na kami. So para naka-auto-set na yung paypal namin to allow payments for CDKey. Iba-yabay yung options. Once you click pay now, you'll be able to find the key that you ordered in your account profile. Just copy that key. Go to windows activator, paste it, and your windows is activated. Good to go. And asaying from buying very reputable windows keys from our sponsor, what do I really need four monitors for? I'm glad you asked, let me show you. It's all about siloing. Or using each monitor as a separate silo or container for the information that you need para consistent sila. Monitor up here on the left, it's usually set to hardware sugar because, kapag may nagtatanong for inquiries, I use our PC builder. Just click that link, PC builder. Here's the URL, PC builder. Sa mga nagtatanong, sir, makana ba yung build nato from you guys? Do you have these parts? We also use our PC builder. So it's super easy to use. Just click the CPU, click the MOBO, and things like that. And then you'll notice na malabas na yung total dito sa right-hand side. So you have to click board, send to us, and say na, hey, this is the build that we want. So I need this up all the time because we do get a lot of inquiries and it's a real pain in the ass to have to do it manually. If you're buying single parts, you can go through our site. And again, this is also why I have it tabbed. And you can go through the various categories. You'll notice also I have emojis tabbed because I use them quite a lot actually when chatting and making posts for the channel. Information silos. Kung kaila ko na emoji, alam ko na hindi siya dito sa primary, pero dito siya sa upper left monitor ko. And you'll notice, I do watch crypto or I do follow crypto. Bitcoin is actually quite high now. Might do a future episode of crypto watch. I do use coin codex for that. Again, palagin na ka open to. Kaya yung browser ko, yung browser ko na brave, this guy is always in this guy. So it's all about keeping the information on one monitor. The PG48UQ of course is my primary monitor and my primary surfing gets done here answering emails, jumping into Facebook when I need to post and YouTube, my gaming gets done here. So this is the one that I'm directly facing. Again, this won't be a love letter to the PG48UQ, but the text is so crisp and when you game, it's really an immersive experience. 4K. Here, we have one in a vertical mount position. And this one is for all of my chats. My Slack my Viber, my WhatsApp, everything chat related happens through here. Slack is how I communicate with the guys in the shop, as well as the other employees who aren't there. Let's say we have an employee asking, Sir, somebody wants this build. So I can quickly go back to my left hand monitor and do the PC builder and then check up if that build is really available. I need to pay the supplier. So I have the supplier's information here on the right hand side in the vertical format and then I'm paying him through BPI, for example on my primary monitor. So with the vertical layout, it's super easy to use it for chat messages since chat by its nature lends itself well to that format yung parang scroll down to see the latest message kind of thing. And lastly this is an old TV I had so it's a LED 55 inches ata na LG. So obrang duma na nito. It's a 10, 12 years old. And it's very clear kita mo yung pixel there, that circle, that circle, that circle. Those aren't pixels, those are individual points in the monitor, in the TV na bibigay na. But super useful for me since I don't use it for watching, I don't use it for gaming. It's really just an information display. So okay lang na ganito siya. For this one, I usually have a bunch of hardware sugar tabs. So this is my sheet prime. We have a lot of information stored here. Hardware sugar scratch because I'm not good with math and I need my Excel things. 2023, this is all of the purchases that we do. Because we do track purchases quite religiously and that allows us the kind of data that we did in the warranty video which we released last month. Hardware sugar discounted. This is public facing. You can see this here. Hardware sugar to follow up. When we do have custom orders and they're asking makana ba yung items, paulit-ulit lang kasi yun for a lot of the items. So we have a tab listing down like okay, we don't have these in store but if we got them, this would be the price. Dealer price list that's classified. Can't go there. Lee and Lee deep cool all from the same dealer. And this is the channel dashboard. I also have our YouTube info up at all times. Just so I can see us slowly crawling to 100K. 55 inches is just for two things. Hardware sugar info and YouTube info. And if we zoom all out, that is my setup for 2023. Upper left hand monitor for hardware sugar website. Primary monitor for primary things. Right hand vertical monitor for chat. And fourth monitor TV on the right for hardware sugar data and hardware sugar YouTube analytics. So that's what four monitors might be good for for you. And again of course you don't have the same use case or case as me. But a lot of people these days do need to juggle a lot of information kung sojante ka, kung natatrabawa ko sa call center, kung personal assistant ka na digital. If you're running your own R&B or if you're working for a bank, lawyer, kahit anong profession ngayon, you're dealing with so much information and that monitor allows you to segregate ngadat information para alam mo, sanhanapin when you need to, masan belis na yung workflow mo. And it's actually quite easy to set up a multi monitor setup. Most of the monitors nowadays are VESA. VESA just means that here in the back of the monitor, there you go, you can attach a clamp or a third party clamp which is also VESA compatible. That's what I've done here with my left hand monitor na ASUS. This arm from north bayu is VESA compatible. The ASUS monitor is also VESA compatible and that allows you to be sure na gagana compatible yung monitor na yun with whatever arm you buy. VESA compatible is the industry standard so if you want an arm like this, just make sure na VESA compatible yung monitor and VESA compatible yung arm. And you'll notice I have to be creative because a lot of the ways to have multiple monitors is you clamp it here. May clamp ka parang ganito clamp and it clamps to the side of your desk like this. Yung problema yung desk ko dito sa bahay gawan na siya kong baga parang sinalpak nalang dito. Walang edges the only possible edges are here but you can't get a clamp here number one and number two you can't have a clamp and then you're working here and you're turning here the angle just won't work. You won't get the proper angle for the monitor. Yung kasi yung clamp na sa likod na dito, let's say for example sa likod. Pero yung solid na dito, di ko magawa dito sa setup ko. But I improvised I got a ledge this one and then I secured it sa ilalim and sa ilalim and so now that's a ledge where you can clamp a monitor arm on. You'll notice actually na medyo bui bigay na yung ledge pero okay pa naman. It's been like that for a couple of years now so far it has anyway, there is a slight angle to it already pero yung know, it's still working still good and it allows me to have this upper left monitor. So when going for a multi monitor setup and you're trying to figure out pano may pagbagkasha sa desk, you can't stuff everything on your desk like what I've done for the PG48UQ for the vertical buisonic monitor and for the old TV but another way to do it is to use these kind of monitor arm clamps which actually I would do kung kaya nung desk ko which it can't at the moment unfortunately. Another thing you'll need for hardware is the GPU so I do have a 3080 for gaming and for video editing and things like that but for multi monitors you don't need an expensive GPU. All you need is a GPU with multiple display ports and I don't mean the actual display port, I just mean the ports of the GPU that you plug into it can be HDMI, it can be display port, it can be even DVI for older GPUs. You can get older cards which will have multiple ports for display. This one has 4, that's pretty standard for high-end cards now. 3DP, 1 HDMI but again you don't need to buy something like a 3080 to have a multi monitor setup. You can get something like the GT730 where actually hindi habil mo yung performance yung habil mo yung multiple ports dito sa likod nung card which will allow you to plug in multiple monitors to your rig. Just make sure that your monitor is compatible with the GPU. So kung HDMI to, kailangan at least may isang HDMI dito sa GPU mo. The more monitors you add, sakit yung sa ulo. Trying to figure out like oh goodness I have a mini DP and I have 2 DPs and I have 1 HDMI but my GPU only has 3 DPs and 1 HDMI it's a real pain in the butt and yes there are converters like this one which I'm using here, I think this is for my TV so you don't really need the refresh rate and things like that. This actually HDMI to display port. I don't really like using adapters a lot of things could go wrong pero if it's just for basic things like showing information, an adapter is fine. So you don't need to go super expensive. Pwede ka bumili ng second hand GPU di mo habu yung performance GPU so any GPU na ok yung ports will do and even for multiple monitors you don't need to get very expensive. Itong 11 year old TV, ginagami ko ngayon as an extra monitor. Itong view sonic ko na ito is really old. I think maybe even older than the LG TV. Sabarang lumanan ito. It was a gaming monitor before but I've since upgraded but I'm still using it every day. Ganon na si ASUS although the ASUS one this one I really got as a secondary monitor but again that was years ago. So as we mentioned in our previous video there are some items like monitors na talagang sobrang tagal nung lifespan nila and you can keep using them and using them investment sila, sulit sila you can get cheap second hand or you can get a little pricey pero at least alam mo na tatagal yung mga yun. So that is my setup for 2023 multiple monitors again di mo kailangan mahal, di yung kailangan the best of the best, the state of the art pero bottom line sobrang useful nila and I have updated my layout for this year with a new 48 inch from ROG. If you're just starting out first with one monitor you haven't tried yet secondary monitor I really do recommend it sobrang laking quality of life improvement nya. We clean computers pasaman na rin yung excellent cable management namin and CPU cooler repasting sa cleaning we also clean and repaste GPUs na sa makati yung physical store namin and you can also buy from our site www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up to date yung inventory dun. Kung instock yung item sa amin available yun sa site. We also ship it nationwide. Thanks for watching and maybe one of these days, mag kita tayo sa shop.
