There are tons of options. Look up bias lighting for cheaper options or you could get Hue Plays or Blooms
The idea behind a white bias light is it will enhance the contrast on dark scenes on an LCD. The RGB ones can just look neat.
Eh, some people still have all this stuff even with a spouse and kids.
Bias lighting - good for eye fatigue and for to look good - not distracting at all
I went with white for mine
My setup is pretty humble imho (and I still need work on it)
Bonus: My potato laptop for old Nihon Falcom games, some controllers and my handheld devices. Sold my New 3DS but I want get a 2DS or New 2DS XL soon.
I want do something with this wasted space lol

Ha, I think I have the same set.
Also, while I like the way mine look behind the TV, the original reason I put them there was it was cheaper to run the extra lights i already had between the bookshelves on either side of the TV than it was to buy a long extension wire.
It's less the money side as that isn't an issue, its more the practicality of it.
You would essentially have to lock everything away for the first 4-5 years of a kid.
This is the basement. Series x and ps5 to a Panasonic 65vt60. Totem acoustics 5.1 with a NAD receiver. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.
This is the pc setup. Relatively new pc, 2070rtx and a 3700x to a 27 inch Dell gsync monitor. Yes the monitor arm pooched my wall.

I live in a pretty small condo, so you're looking at half my house and I have no "dedicated" setup but I'm pretty pleased with what's there. There's a few lil trinkets here and there (Mario/Luigi amiibo on the speakers, PS blankets, Horizon ZD art book) mixed with about half (!) of my wife's plants.
Specs:
TCL 55R615 (plan to upgrade to 65" 2021 TCL 8 series)
Roku Soundbar, Speakers, and Subwoofer
And of course, my pride and joy...PS5
Would also love to add Hue Play for some ambilight this year.

Nice. I miss my plasma tv. Don't miss the room temp and power bill hike though.
I love my plasmas. The VT60 is a hard one to upgrade. Still such a good picture. But, I think I'm planning on going 4k this year. Either a 65 inch OLED or maybe a 75 inch lcd.
If I buy a place within the next couple of years, I'll have to decide on this, but wondering if most people just pay a professional for TV mounting or if they do it themselves?
Also, this is sort of first world problem, but I kind of fear that I'll find a perfect place except for it having a fireplace which will end up being the best location for a TV. I wouldn't want to be in a position where I would have to be looking up and taking away practical options for a speaker system set up.

Re-did my WFH office a couple months ago. Added a new TV for the launch of PS5. New gaming room complete :)
Goals for 2021:
- New gaming monitor
- Gaming PC (maybe)
Where did you get the desk? I'm looking for something similar in color/size/layout to (hopefully) start a new PC desk/section in my game room.
I've had those same speakers on my computer for like ten years now, lol. Every once in awhile I feel like upgrading, but they're just too solid to justify it. Not incredible or anything, but really solid.Re-did my WFH office a couple months ago. Added a new TV for the launch of PS5. New gaming room complete :)

Here, I got 4 different consoles hooked into the TV that you can't see too well (which is the point), along along with 3 mini-consoles in those drawers that hook easily into the side of the TV, with speakers in the ceiling (along with controllers and cords in the ottoman in the corner). It's all about having the most games available at my fingertips, without it looking like I do...
This looks great.

Love the reading corner next to the fire. Cozy.
I got a professional for the TV Mounting.
Best Buy (where I got the TV from) did it themselves alongside the speakers/surround sound system as well.
Nice setup. Luke and Han from the cereal mail in top left??I have some work to do on mine. The 2.1 cables are ran temporarily (hence those white cable hiders on the left side of the TV), and the UPS behind the TV needs to be replaced since the 77" CS pulls a lot more power than my old 2015 70" Vizio. The console at is falling apart (the wood is just resting on the top now). One of my plans for this year is to rewire the 2.1 cables through the wall. The up-firing Atmos speakers will be replaced with in-ceiling speakers, the Polk subwoofer has finally started to give out (she's served me good over the past 15 years). I plan on replacing the two sofas (not pictured) with a nice sectional, too, as well as adding some automated shades (since my windows let in a lot of light in the evening)

Having it above a fireplace is weird just for watching IMO. My neighbor has it like that. But for gaming? No way. That angle would be awful for, say, an FPS. You could turn-based JRPG or walking sim real nice though.

I wanted to chime in and say I liked it a lot. May I ask where you got that media center? I'd quite like one like it.
I like it. Plain and Simple yet elegant with not too many things around it.
hahaha my house is a total mess with two daughters, and now with additional newborn boy, which means that I cannot get the clean aesthetic that I have planned when i designed the house. But yeah its a tradeoff that I can live with, and I would do it any day. I guess once they reach the age of 11-12 yo I can remove a lot of the protection barrier and toys around the house.
Thanks! It's all a work in progress.
That media center thing was something my wife had from before we got married - I think she got it from Cost Plus a while ago.
Is that coffee table completely encasing the millennium falcon, or is it just sitting on a shelf under a glass top? Cuz this something that I was thinking of doing once I eventually build mine.
Just a glass top.
For a while I was looking at display cases from these guys. It now seems they have an actual coffee table. They are nice cases just not cheap.

There is a bunch of options ideas here. It's how I found my coffee table.
It's from IKEA. Alex drawers with a 74" Karlby countertop. I'm very happy with it.
I recently saw mantle mounts for this issue. They are easy to pull down tv mounts meant for above a fireplace. Looked pretty snazzy.
I play just everything in this except i got my ps5 in the living room.
Wow, awesome! I just imagined playing MK2 on that monster and I think I had a stroke. What a cool machine!
I could stand to do something about how yellow the light is, but otherwise I'm happy enough with it. I even added some things to the walls!
OP
OP
LG CX 77"; Sonos Arc; West Elm Media Console. The PS5 is so huge that I couldn't fit it on my bookshelf and wanted the console to be free of anything but the soundbar...so I've got it as a pseudo cable hider lmao

Zoomed out view; our office is to the left of our Living room area. We're in a 1BDRM apartment and both working from home:
The PS5 really ruins the symmetry and look of this setup. Why not remove some stuff on your shelf to the left and put the PS5 on that. Also find a cable track like you have between TV and media centre to hide your cables between that shelf and the media centre? It would look amazing!
The PS5 can't fit on the shelf lmao. I still gotta think about what to do with it. I actually could fit in the media console horizontally but I'm concerned about heat, so I'll either need to cut upon the back (which currently only has holes for cables) or find somewhere else..
As for the cable track, I'm going to get one of those soon. I legit just set this up the day I took the picture lol
Edit: Well I guess the PS5 can fit on one of the shelves higher up but I'd prefer it be closer to the ground
Just a quick question for everybody here:
Now that I'm probably working from home for another year, I want to get a nicer chair for my desk setup. At the moment I'm sitting on a basic kitchen/dinner room kind of chair and I can feel that it's wrong. But because my desk is in the living room and WFH will stop eventually next year I don't want to go all in with an ergonomic "super-monster". It should be more ergonomic than a simple chair but not too hideous so it can blend in the living room (I would say the design it's somewhat nordic). Oh, and I really hate to sit on leather and artificial leather because of the sweating. Any ideas?

Just post your setup! I swear people will not judge unless you have a bare mattress with stains all over it.
Here's my current setup. Including my custom PC, LG CX, custom Xbox Series X (made it Cyberpunk themed), PS5 (custom PS5 coming soon), Switch, etc. My desk is a bit messy because i'm building a Lego ThunderJaw from Horizon Zero Dawn so 4K pieces on my desk right now hahaha.
This was just over the holidays.
This is now.
LG 65" CX OLED, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Wii U (behind the letters). NES Classic Edition and SNES Classic Edition are more for show than function these days, thanks to NSO.
Hahaha, how hot does that room get?

The fuck is that thing with all the stickers? It has so many angles I cannot tell. Is that your PC?
