I don't watch it from the desk. Sofa is behind the camera.
Recently added a 3rd monitor, the extra desktop space is nice to have! Maybe a face full of screens detracts from the lovely wallpaper I RDP into work on one monitor, Firefox on the other (webmail, BBC news, OcUK) and Youtube on the other. 3 days in and it's not feeling too much like work, which is nice.

Still holding out at the office, but spending just as much time working at home at the moment so...
To be fair, I have a nice light office to myself at work, but in any other COVID outbreak I'd be at home in a heartbeat. However, half of my senior managers are at home self-isolating, so I'm remaining visible... for now!

Repost form the rooms and desk thread
Still very much temporary / work in progress. Was about to start decoration / flooring just as lockdown started so ordered the worktop and legs to at least enable me a half decent workspace.
Still needs :
Blinds / shutters
Full decoration
Under desk drawer / cupboard units
Cable management
Desk lamp (Anglepoise should be delivered today)
Mount note board
Proper chair
Flooring
Fit ceiling lamp
Hang pictures
Fit floating shelves
Cupboard for cycling clobber
Bed sofa
And I'm sure a few other things I've missed off the list ....

You guys are all far too neat, i'm working from home 4 days a week still but my study is pretty much a dumping ground for stuff so not much space left and no time to tidy up anything with my toddler daughter racing around causing havoc everywhere.

Recently picked up a 1.6m long x 0.8m deep height electric adjustable desk.
It was £210 from Ebay (used), plus ~£65 van hire to pick it up.
Desks tend to be 73cm tall, which is far too low for me as I am 191cm tall (6'3"). Having the desk at ~76cm tall makes the world of difference.
In addition, having the option to stand whenever I like is a lovely bonus.
I really do recommend a height adjustable desk.
I plug my work laptop into my 34" superwide screen

How cheap is cheap? I used furniture@work for my desk but the websites not working for me at the moment. This is cheaper than I paid - White Valoir Cantilever Desk. You can get it in different finishes, lengths and with draw units (also available in diff colour draws) to suit your needs.

I gave up working on a dining table after 2 weeks

Work laptop is an old Lenovo, connected to one of the lenovo docks.
Personal laptop is a MBP 15" 2016
Mouse is Logitech Master MX 2s
Cherry MX Strait for Mac
Dell U2720Q
Apple HomePod
Painting is Hendrik Voogd - Italian Landscape with Umbrella Pines (1807).
Had a Logitech MX Keys on pre-order on amazon for over 2 weeks
will make everything much cleaner without the keyboard cables.
