I've seen a lot of setups in my time, but the one in our top post today really appeals.

I love the huge widescreen monitor. The attached key light looks fantastic, and the webcam sounds extremely capable.

I love the simplicity of using a pair of HomePod minis as an audio source, and employing a crazy, six-microphone speakerphone for better calls.

It's just so well put together, and the A/V is top-notch. It makes me feel calm and productive just looking at it.
