Creators live at their desks—editing videos, designing assets, writing copy, or streaming content. Every item on your desk should earn its place. A pixel art setup does not have to mean clutter. When chosen well, smart pixel displays become part of your creative workflow: a dashboard for your data, a canvas for your designs, and a frame for your visual inspiration. Here is how Times Gate, Pixoo-64, and Times Frame turn a creator desk into a pixel art workspace that works as hard as you do.
As this official Divoom video shows, a pixel art display can be the centerpiece of a clean, creative workspace. The three products below each serve a different role in a creator-focused setup, so you can pick the combination that fits your workflow.
Times Gate: The Creator Dashboard
The Times Gate is not a single display—it is five independent LCD screens in one sleek desktop unit. Each screen can show a different widget: clock, weather, calendar, music visualizer, social media stats, or your own pixel art. For a creator, that means you can keep an eye on your schedule, your stream metrics, or your upload queue without switching tabs or peeking at a second monitor. The Times Gate sits compactly on your desk, taking up less space than a keyboard, and its five screens give you glanceable information at all times.
Why creators love it: Five independent screens mean you can customize what you see—calendar on one, social stats on another, pixel art on a third. No app switching, no notification pop-ups, just always-visible data.
Pixoo-64: The Big Pixel Canvas for Designers
The Pixoo-64 is the largest pixel art canvas Divoom makes—a 64×64 LED grid that displays community designs, animated art, social media counters, and custom creations. For designers and visual creators, this is a live portfolio piece on your wall. Upload your own pixel art, display your brand colors, or run a rotating gallery of community designs. The Pixoo-64 mounts on the wall above your monitor, taking zero desk space, and connects via Wi-Fi so you can update its content from your phone or computer without plugging anything in.
Why creators love it: Zero desk footprint, 64×64 pixel canvas, and Wi-Fi control mean you can change your display from your editing chair without standing up. Design once, display endlessly.

The Times Frame combines a floating transparent smart display with a digital photo frame. It shows photos, pixel art, clock faces, weather widgets, and calendar events in a slim glass-like panel that sits on your desk or mounts on a wall. For creators, this is your visual inspiration board: display reference images, mood boards, or your latest project screenshots alongside functional widgets. The Times Frame cycles through content automatically, so your desk always shows something fresh without manual updating.
Why creators love it: A floating display that blends photo memories with smart widgets. Use it as a rotating inspiration board for your projects, or keep your daily metrics visible in a format that looks like decor, not a screen.

Build your creator pixel art setup
Three Steps to a Creator-Focused Pixel Art Desk
- Install a glanceable dashboard. Place a Times Gate on your desk to keep your calendar, social stats, and pixel art visible at all times. Five screens mean you never have to minimize your editing software to check your schedule.
- Add a wall-mounted canvas for your best work. Mount a Pixoo-64 above your monitor and fill it with your own pixel art designs, brand colors, or animated inspiration. It takes zero desk space and updates wirelessly.
- Finish with a digital inspiration board. Set up a Times Frame with rotating photos, mood boards, or project screenshots alongside smart widgets. It turns your desk into a studio that shows your creative process, not hides it.
The goal is not to cover your desk with gadgets. The goal is to choose pixel art displays that serve your workflow—so your desk becomes an extension of your creative process, not a distraction from it.
