I have that same TLOU2 poster hanging in my room. So good!Here's my setup. Just as much cinema related than gaming (and it is the living room as well). Panasonic 65" calibrated OLED, Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 and a PS4 Pro. Ready for the new consoles next month!
What do you guys think? The monitor was 1k and I've got my 3080 preordered. Ready for Cyberpunk!
I just realised I haven't posted our London setup in this year's thread. Not a huge amount of updates as we have only been a couple of months there this year, but I will have new pictures of our Finnish pandemic escape shortly.
As always, this is not purely gaming related, rather just a look at the flat in general as some people seem to enjoy that and we don't do separate cribs threads.
Lounge and dining area
The heart of the flat, where we spend most of our time. A Genelec 7.0 system provides sound to the space, with a three Genelec 8351s in the front, and four ceiling-mounted Genelec 8341s at the rear. The TV is Sony 85x9505B, chosen for its low input latency and high quality 4K HDR image, but I will get rid of it this year as the performance in daylight is piss poor compared to Samsung. So I will likely get a Q90 series or similar TB.
The Genelec speakers where chosen because they allow us to hear the video games closest to what the likes of Capcom or Bioware intended. The large amount of reflective glass surfaces was a particular challenge, but Genelec used their software to minimise intrusive artefacts resulting from the hard surfaces in the space.
KIT LIST - Sony 85x9505B TV, Genelec 8351 speakers. A bespoke media unit, with Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Switch and a Titan X Pascal gaming PC, through a Marantz 8802a AV amp. Hatches for Switch and PlayStation VR. Togo sofas from Ligne Roset.
Snug
This is the most indulgent and fun area in the flat. We designed it as a comfy late night escape, a cave where one can retire to late at night when others go to sleep. A Sony 4K TV on the left is hooked up to a Super NES Classic and a NES Classic, making this the classic gaming space. This space also hosts a headphones listening station.
KIT LIST - Sony KD-49X8305C on a Desalto pole, Genelec AIC25 speakers. A bespoke shelving unit with an integrated minibar. Cambridge Audio streamer (Tidal/Spotify), Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, Schiit Ragnarok amp, and Hifiman HE-1000 headphones. NES Mini, Super NES Mini, PlayStation Classic, Analogue NT Mini, Analogue Super NT.
View from Snug to Lounge
Snug terrace is designed to be our 'cigar terrace'. I smoke one cigar every two months with a good friend, always here with a glass of whisky. Reindeer hides remind us of our native Finland.
Kitchen and breakfast bar
I often sit around the breakfast bar with my iPad, reading GAF, or playing Pokemon Go on my phone. TV and front Genelecs in the lounge can be seen on the left side, however in this picture the speakers are in their old position, they were moved on top of the TV later. The coffee machine is integrated on the right hand wall, and it does fantastic cappuccinos.
Breakfast terrace
This is at the front of the lounge. It's very often windy in the City, so getting to have breakfast here is a rare treat. This place was a great escape during the pandemic, we managed to do a couple of candle lit differs here.
Study
This room is mostly for work, and personal management. A bespoke, motorised desk for standing and sitting work. iMac 5K for any desktop games - such as WoW, Starcraft 2 and Dota 2. Framed above the Mac, production drawings of the first Sega Megadrive from June 1989.
KIT LIST - iMac 5K, Genelec AIC25 speakers.
Guest room
I've spent more time of my life in hotels than one should. Our guest room was modelled based on my favourite features of hotels. The bed is large, and has USB and charging slots on the side. A study desk with a comfy chair provides a space for any urgent work. A power jack is hidden under a hatch, so that laptops and iPads can be charged while working. Light blocking curtains darken the room for a good night's sleep.
KIT LIST - bedside Apple docks and USB-C chargers, Genelec AIC25 speakers.
Wine room
This is the latest addition to the flat. We converted one of the bathrooms into a wine room with temperature and humidity control. It turned out to be a bigger job than I thought, with insulation, vapour barrier, level floor, special doors. It houses 370 bottles so it should do approximately a 5 year rotation. We tend to ship stuff back home from the wineries, much cheaper that way.
thread about gaming room /etup. guy shows whole million dollar apartment.
Well said. House>apartment.I always use Chittagong 's pad as future goals for myself. Beautifully designed and something I hope to have in the next 10-15 years. Just not in a massive city
Well said. House>apartment.

Obligatory yearly post.
Nothing fancy, basic shit:
Now I'll throw PS4 Pro in the closet or sell it or give it away, and put PS5 in in a week from now.
Wow. You really are the arm chair Sony PR guy. Posting on GAF from a recliner. 10/10Nothing fancy, basic shit:

You can remote play the ps5 on PS4. Might be worth hooking it up to a second tv.

I went all in on a nice office chair for working from home. That recliner setup is a top tier meme posting station though. SonyGAF command center. I like it.Man, trust me, if you get used to recliners you'll never go back to those office-like chairs. I was considering a massage chair but settled for this for a cheap 44 OMR ($114)!

LOL mine is extremely silent, all PS4's here actually. Not sure what assemble we're getting our PS4's, but they seem way more durable and solid to ones reported here.
Ok I know it's dirty, but because I told the maids to never even get close there as I used to find out that the system was open for many hours but didn't notice until I see the lights on. Cleaned it afterwards lol.
lol when you play for up to 51 hours (my record with MGSV grinding the hell of it, been 1st in the world for 2 weeks while I didn't even know why I had a crown and #1 above my username "paid $50 for second base day one though, so somehow cheating") you can't survive without a very comfy chair!
I'll embrace the meme, lol.
Maids? I swear your house is made from solid gold!
I'm shocked by how many of you own toys.
