Dream Office Setup:
-
Monday morning don't have to think thread.
What would your dream office setup be?
I would love a TV with surround sound in my office. Cause let's face it watching a webinar would be better if I didn't have to tie up a monitor on my work station. Also great for listening to Pandora and watching a TV show when doing boring tasks.
A wrap around Desk with lots of windows,
-
It's all about the view for me. So a boring, minimalist office with a massive floor to ceiling window overlooking somewhere awesome, like Hong Kong harbour, would do it for me.
-
Mine is more classic, lots of books
-
For me it's more about the light. I HATE fluorescent light. I want lots of natural light and a view

I would want something with very little view, an office in a basement (finished of course) with little direct lighting mostly just accent or diffused.
-
I'm a very simple kind of guy.
A desk that people don't throw their partially completed projects on expecting me to finish.
Maybe a window to look out on the scenery every once in a while too.

I'm with @coliver, though I do like natural lighting over florescent
The view would be overly distracting.
No point in getting a large TV for webinars - I find that I really can't multi-task while watching, I just end up ignoring it and not getting any of the information from it. I'm not sure it would be overly beneficial to have it on a large screen either.

Agreed. I do prefer natural lighting over florescent. I've found some really nice LED bulbs that if you diffuse the light it feels much more like natural light then anything else I've tried. Still not quite there yet but getting closer!

I don't want to have to think.... and apparently can't

I love the look but the glare would be impossible. I would want a room like that but looking OUT the windows rather than having my back to them.

Same here. I have that once. The view was Brooklyn. My office was the tenth floor of 111 Wall St. which is the last building on the street. I had a double office, all windows. So about fifteen feet wide, floor to ceiling windows, unobstructed view of downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bridge and much of the harbor. It was pretty sweet.

A view is important for eye strain. You should have something very distant to look at so that you go from "screen view" to "far off view" regularly.
-
Not happening in my current office. My office is 8 x 10.
lol
-
A view is Super important for me. I tend to feel trapped without tons of natural light (glare be darned) and a view.
-
Yeah, that sounds really cool. I had an office on the 15th floor and it overlooked the roof of another building that had a guy that kept pigeons. Every afternoon I'd look out and watch his pigeons flying around and around our building. I found it really relaxing. This was right in the middle of Monk Kok- pretty much the most densely populated place in the world
It also had a KFC on the ground floor and I once went a month getting my lunch from there every day until I realised it was likely to end in an early death.
I loved that office.

For me I have to watch about 5-10 webinars a week. Most of them are retarded sales stuff that I have to watch to for partner memberships with Vendors. I don't need to actually watch 90% of them.

Nothing will kill you faster than American food.

I would love a big screen for webinars, makes it a change of pace and a way to treat it more like normal television.
-
I wish i had more windows in my office. only one standard one. but i really love it and look forward to making it really something special. i've got 700 sq ft to work with of a wide open room. just a 42" tv, bose cinemate system, xb1, my desk with 2 22" monitors, server rack, and a bunch of S everywhere
