Questions about computer monitors
 
I have a couple simple questions that I'd like to get opinions about:

1. Use one computer monitor or two?

2. If one, for edit and mix screens, use:
A. Over and under?
B. Side by side?
C. Switch back and forth as needed?

If you have the time, please offer your opinion and a brief explanation. Thank you.

I use the keyboard command to switch. Two monitors is better, get Scootch.

I like over/under. Tilting my head seems less work than swiveling.

What I'd base things on is how my neck feels and the position of the monitors if going to an over/under setup. And which is going to be your primary screen. Given that and if I had the space I'd sooner go to a side by side like when I had my iMac and current cheesegrater in a dual setup for using VePro 6.

I use two 27 side by side but if I didn't have the space I would probably go with one 40-45". Really depends on your space/desk height, etc

I prefer three monitors. Center 43" for edit (keeps my ears in the sweet spot), right 24" for mix, left 24" for plugs/video/misc. See pic.
