That’s the old version. The new ones have a very different-looking lumbar support mechanism. The old Aeron isn’t a bad chair, there are just better chairs made nowadays. The main issues people have with it are that the arms aren’t particularly adjustable, the front ridge digs into the bottom of the thighs, and the pellicle fabric can grate away the fork of your trousers if you move about on it.

LionArcher posted:Why is that better? The back is a million times better and the seat suspension is better in that there's not a ring of plastic all the way around it that reduces the effectiveness of the mesh. I say this as someone who has both an Aeron and a Mirra. I don't regret buying my Aeron new, but the next chair I'ma get is going to be either a Sayl or a Mirra because of the back design/material and superior lumbar support (I have the old version with the lovely plastic bumper rather than "real" lumbar support.) edit: I much prefer the Aeron armrests, though.

Spyde posted:Nice setup... are those acoustic panels behind your monitors? Do they make any difference? Yes and yes. Just cheap like $24 worth of panels from amazon. Though they made a bigger difference when I had 2 iMacs sitting on the desk with louder fans. iMac Pro is basically silent so I have less computer noise bouncing off the wall.

Anyone know how to raise your Ergotech Freedom arm post-installation? I've tried loosening all the screws but nothing happens when I try to pull up the arm, and the manual is useless to say the least.

On the left is stained, on the right is not yet stained (I am finishing 3 total) These really look great as tabletops for $80 plus some garage time.

Apple got out of the display business a few years ago. I believe they recommend the LG version in all their official docs.

It's not because it has (had) issues, the 5k LG was always only meant as a stopgap until they "make" a new one (or they instead of LG print their name on what Foxconn produces, since the panels are LG's regardless) for the redesigned Mac Pros that are supposed to be released sometime in the next 12 months.

Ya I’m not buying that ugly LG for anything more than $300. So I’m not buying it. As someone said Apple did announce they would have a display again when Mac Pros arrived. Hopefully we see a little preview at WWDC... hopefully, which means we won’t. Anyway dell works for now even though I scratched it right in the middle with the side of that iMac when I was mounting it. A little chapstick hides the scratch but I’ve ruined any chance to sell it.

Why did you cram all of the posters into that one space? It looks like your wall affords way more spacing than that.

HEY NONG MAN posted:Why did you cram all of the posters into that one space? It looks like your wall affords way more spacing than that. Its not totally clear in the image, but the top posters are pretty close to the ceiling. I might end up pushing the side posters further apart eventually, though.
