    The BenQ monitors feel smaller due to the lack of huge Apple bezel and iMac chin at the bottom. BenQ's feel more fluid going from monitor to monitor, which is nice.

    Love that the BenQ monitors are matte. Forgot how much easier that was on the eyes. Also really happy they can be raised and lowered. That was always a flaw of the iMac and Apple monitors. So, now I've got two 4k screens, which is a downgrade from the iMac, but also an upgrade from the Thunderbolt monitor.

    Lastly, I HATE THAT EXTERNAL WEB CAM RUINING THE SYMMETRY TWO MONITORS but I will get over it. It's a 4k camera and vastly better picture than any Apple FaceTime camera. I think I'm going to take it off the top and just put it below the right monitor.

    • oh man, not as well as I'm going to. I can still see them when sitting down. At least I bought nice braided fabric wires. :Dmg33
    • Yeah, they're fine. They came pre-calibrated, didn't have to do anything to them. I grew used to glossy monitors, but these are easier on the eyes.mg33

    • can you not put the external webcam in the middle of both monitors?_niko
    • you could, quite easily, install a tray under the desk in the back where you can store your Mac mini and exernal drives. It would take further to tidy it upmonospaced
    • why x2 keyboards and mice?shapesalad

    • RE: two keyboards/mice: my setup includes the Mac mini for home use, and my work laptop for work use. in the before photo, the iMac was home computermg33
    • and the apple monitor was used for the work laptop. Better setup now, easier to go dual monitor on either computer as soon as I get ONE more cable. :Dmg33
