surfing is about time to revisit some ultimate gaming setup this time with the PlayStation 4 now in the past some of the giving set ups have been a bit much so this time I want to do something a little different and focus instead on a setup that is a little more functional but still aesthetically pleasing with a minimalist very clean looking design which led to this so as you can see super minimal setup I mean there is nothing on display here other than the TV and the sound bar now as far as these go the TV is one I've used a couple of times before from Samsung I'm not going to say the name because it's just a bunch of letters and numbers the point is is that it's a 4k TV with great color depth but more importantly a super low response time for a 4k television which is super important for multiplayer games as for the sound bar it's from LG same deal I'm not going to say the name cuz a bunch of letters numbers the point is that while this is the most cost-effective option it does offer amazing audio quality and a pass-through for 4k systems now while we do obviously have the ps4 set up right now I want to do something a little extra on this setup and have not just one system but two we not only have a ps4 Pro hooked up to this TV but also a livingroom PC upping the amount of gaming goodness and giving you just way more games to choose from the way we've set this all up is that we have this credenza right here from living spaces called the baile cadenza which is a great looking piece of furniture and it basically has three main doors while restoring all the functional bits of this setup behind door number one is this little top down opening shelf we've got our ps4 Pro and our Alienware alpha which we're using as our living room PC for this setup we load it up with a gtx 960 the Alpha is the perfect balance for what we need in this setup something that is small aesthetically pleasing to fit on the shelf but at the same time offering the power necessary to give us a good smooth frame rate while gaming now below this is a drawer which is where we're storing all of our physical copies of games because I'm a caveman and still buy all my discs physical I avoid digital whenever I can and as well as a little storage case for additional accessories we may need such as additional controllers so and so forth and on this third larger door is where we're storing the psvr now the PS VR is a bit messy when it's fully set up so to kind of avoid that instead we just have it set up on a charging base for now and this little storage cubby filled with all the additional wires and pieces that are needed so when we want to set it up it's all easily on hand but it's not constantly there creating a huge mess of wires now something that we've done with past setups that I wanted to avoid this time is having a lot of important bits like controller charge stands headphones all that kind of stuff on the entertainment console itself because let's be honest who actually wants to walk up and pick things up to then sit down you should be able to just sit down in your comfy chair and play games and if everything you need on hand right next to you so that's why on this little side table we have a charging dock solution set up for our ps4 controller so you can just have them right there with an arm's reach and not have to worry about the batteries being dead we also have our platinum headset set up right here we don't have a set up to be charging right now but that's why in this drawer we actually have a charge station set up so we can plug stuff in when need be you can also use it for things like charging your phone or anything else on hand that needs charging and then when we're using the PC we have this Bluetooth wireless keyboard set up we were able to use this as a lap keyboard with a little place to use the mouse as well this design I really wanted to focus on just having something that was functional but still aesthetically pleasing but in a very minimalist way you know not every setup has to have statues and figures and all kinds of bells and whistles everywhere instead we just focus on all the things necessary to make an excellent gaming experience
