Oh okay yea I think thats actually quite doable, maybe something to consider for my next setup, do you get better surround sound by planting it on the ceiling or just better aesthetic?

Here is my setup (living room and office) as of Jan 2021. Due to the bad weather, I've [/B]only taken photos during night. I'll update for a day view later on. There's 1 issue: I need to fix up the dry wall and fix the placement of the TV as the LG CX sits differently than my last TV, but we're going to upgrade to a nicer place this upcoming year so may just wait:
Here is what my day view looks like (will replace with up to date picture since I've removed carpet and gotten all the new electronics in a week):
What an incredible view. What city is that and do you have electronic blinds for day use of the TV?
Ya, it's better than doing bounce method so it's not just purely aesthetic.
This looks amazing! Our goal is to have a similar HT setup in the future. Have the below room for nowNot much has changed down stairs so I'll post the home theater. My office has been updated. I'll post some pics of the updates when I can get around to it.
I love your TV stand, do you have a link to where it's from?
Also how big is your TV, so I can see if mine would work well on it
Thank you, that is very nice of you to say. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/orren-ellis-daenerys-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-63-bmfr2208.html
My tv is 55 inches. You can for 65 depending on the stands stance.
Ha, first I thought your PC was a third screen :D
Bedroom desk setup.
27" Acer/Predator monitors. 55" LG CX on a rotatable stand (let's me face it towards my bed which is directly in front of the TV).
Is this a server rack under your desk?

Vancouver. And yes, electronic blinds activated via that console you see above my HomePod.
I've been laughing way too hard at this. Imagine being this salty and pathetic in life that all you can do is deflect other people's happiness and try to bring them down.
Keep on flexing your awesome setups folks. The hard work and dedication you put into making them happen deserves to be shared and appreciated by others
+1 on a Dyson. I didn't have luck with robot vacuums and returned mine. It didn't suit the layout of my parents house. I've never hated vacuuming but I've always hated how weak vacuums can be and hated disposing of the dust bag. I finally convinced my fiancee to let me buy a v10 when it was on sale this last month and it's been a godsend. My parents who were always against me spending a lot on a vacuum can see and appreciate the difference and now want me to get them one as well.Robot vacuums suck in my experience - mine got stuck everywhere. I bought the Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner and absolutely love it. Takes me less than 5 mins to take it out and give living room / kitchen a quick vacuum. It's super convenient and lightweight:
I'd say go for a Dyson or something that it just as convenient and powerful. It's so easy to use and put away. You can either disassemble it or hang it on a wall. I put the hanging mount inside a tall cupboard and just open it and hang it in there. No cord or fuss to worry about because the charging cord is in the cupboard connected to the mount
Ah, so it's like in a hotel :D But isn't it annoying with classical fridge noises in the bedroom? I lived in a 1-room-appartment a while ago and I hated that the kitchen was next to the bed.
The part that kills me is the gameboy micro hogging all that valuable real estate.
Oh man that's hilarious. I cant believe I missed this pic the first time.
Yeah it's not great to be honest, I wouldn't recommend it for most people. Fortunately I usually have my headset on or speakers playing to drown it out. I also switch it off at night since it's just drinks in there.
Vancouver! Yes I remember seeing pics of your place over the years (if you're the same person!)
That is fantastic.
I'll post my when I'm off work. it aint much but I have been avoiding posting in this thread for far too long.
Hey guys, maybe off topic. But i'm starting 2021 fresh and i'm planning on creating a cool new entertainment set.
I'm looking at the Ikea besta series, anyone have experiences with this? My country is in lockdown so i cant actually see it in person. Are the shelves of high quality for example? Got a tv cabinet a very long time ago and that sounded "hollow" when you knocked on it. Is that also the case with the shelves inside the besta?
Thanks for helping!

Really like the unit you've got. Is that Ikea? Looking to swap out my Kallax shelves with something that looks a bit cleaner.

Would really appreciate your help
The thing itself is sturdy. The shelves are standard chipboard and also solid enough.... I don't have/use them so cannot tell you what they sound like. 😉
Well, the setup remains the same as the end of last year, so I'll just post a picture of it from then cause that's when it was last picture ready.
At the moment, I'm in a single room so I've got everything hooked up there. Got my main gaming rig hooked up here, as well as PS4 and PS5 and a Switch. Everything is hooked up to a capture card for when I'm not lazy and do streaming or whatever else have you. Given the small space I've got, I worked hard to optimize the hell out of it and I think I did a pretty solid job.
Don't look behind the desk, though. That's a fucking nightmare.

Had a tv cabinet in the past and the disk drive vibrations of my xbox 360 caused resonance type of sound. So im kinda OCDing when shopping for a new tv cabinet.
But thanks for the info 🙂
My little cave. LG 48CX OLED, PS5, Series X, Switch, PS4 (for comparison stuff). PC (R5 3600, RTX 3080), work laptop, homepod Mini. Tried to make it as clean as I could, but there's some drawbacks to living in rented accommodation. The cabinet next to my desk contains my Lego Dimensions collection, press kits and "games biz trinkets", as well as the random stuff I've bought/received over the years. Hidden right at the back is a 500m PS4 Pro that I'm really not sure what to do with at this point! Chair is an old Cineworld chair that I salvaged from an old one that was being shut down. I use a Turtle Beach TAC and some wired headphones, as well as a Stream Deck next to the chair to control bits on the PC. Also love my Tom Whalen and Olly Moss prints which are everywhere :D
(The cables next to the Series X are from the Series S which is currently in my living room)

no pics cause still a work in progress.
My living room has: a 65" Sony A8H that will hang above my fireplace once i get that finished. PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. Klipsch R-15PM monitors on stands for audio. Using Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones for 3D Audio and party/game chat and also use in my office.
My Office: White PS4 Pro, Behringer Q1202 USB Mixer, Audio Technica AT2020 mic, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, and for a monitor i'm using a BenQ SW271. then i also have a 2019 Mac Pro with dual LG 24MD4KLs and Yamaha NX-50 Speakers and an ipad pro and a cat bed. O and I'm using a black Vertagear PL6000 for a chair.

Unless you want a full Atmos system with built in ceiling/rears, a good Atmos soundbar will do the trick if cleanliness and space is a major concern.
I ran my surround speaker wires in my wall so they don't show. I'll need to take an updated photo of my setup now that I've rearranged it for the PS5 and XSX.
I have the cables covered with some padding that matches the color of the wall so it is barely noticeable - if you look at the photo I posted earlier with the sofa set you can see the two speakers in the top right and left.
There is also a subwoofer behind the sofa so it is hidden and then I have the soundbar on the tv bench
I wanna go 7.1 in the future or whatever is the best about the time I go upgrade which probably won't be until 2022 or 2023
You going all digital? Cause feeding those discs... quite a hassle I bet.
It's rather funny how you can generally tell the age of the person and if they have kids or not by the photo. If the poster has a significant other is a crap shoot, but many of these setups will only last until they are taken over by others.

They're all limited prints from Olly Moss - He used to do fairly regular drops on his site, but hasn't done for a while. I've got the Zelda ones he did, then 2018 Games of the Year, a set of "Heroes" (Aerith, Cloud, Snake x2, Ico), Breaking Bad, Guardians and Squirtle (the start of the obsession!)
Just rearranged my condo because of work-from-home and made this little nook. Need to do wires yet, but just hooked up the PS5 and need to rearrange some outlets this week some time. Loving it. Kitty sleeps in that face whenever I play. It's adorbs. Side TV pretty much only for streaming stuff while I play at times, but has an X1X on it now that I upgraded.
I had to lock my game room when my critters were younger. Fortunately they are out of the ma destruction phase.
I need this! Where can I buy it? I'm a bit worried my cats will be too big for it but it's soo cute.
Well I found the guy excited about the white PS5! LOL
Welcome to the annual Post Your Gaming Setup thread. A tradition started over 10 years ago - from one legacy forum to the next. Post your gaming setups, living rooms, game collections, office setups, PC setups, furniture choices, any other home designs, and portable setups. This thread can be used for anything you want to post related to where you game or where you live. It's essentially ResetEra Cribs edition. Brag and compliment - no negative statements around someone's setup unless they are asking for critical feedback.

There's video game artwork in my hallway:
And here is the layout of the next gen consoles which are a bit ugly horizontal (as well as the slightly visible HDMI / power recess that I need to fix):
Funny story. Bought it at PetSmart like 4 years ago. She went nowhere near it for two years. Worst $40 spent ever. Then she's on my lap one day and was like "I MUST BE THERE NOW!" Now she practically lives in it. Best $40 spent ever.
This might be an extremely dumb question. But what is with the lights behind the TVs that a lot of people have? Like the neon purple or bright green? It looks cool, just never thought of doing that. Is it distracting when playing? And what kind of light is it?
