# DeveloPassion's Newsletter 090 - Gearing up Welcome to the 90th edition Another week, another newsletter! I hope that you all had a great one 🤩 We’re already at the 90th edition. It’s been quite a ride so far. Each week, when I sit down to write my newsletter, I feel like writing an actual letter to a bunch of friends. And generally, the feeling is the same when I read your reactions. Quite soothing ;-) This week I received my new screen, a [Samsung Odyssey Neo G9](https://amzn.to/3srCEHq), which looks glorious on my desk. My official “excuse” is that it’ll be easier for me to look at the timeline in Adobe Premiere. More seriously, though, I previously had a 3-screen setup, two of which were old 24" screens that I couldn’t stand anymore. One was still connected using VGA and the colors were horrendous. I actually have less screen real estate now, but it’s much more usable. As an added benefit, I’ve been able to remove ~10 cables behind my desk, which is quite cool!
