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. |

Re: A Survey
I use the keyboard command to switch. Two monitors is better, get Scootch.

Re: Questions about computer monitors
I like over/under. Tilting my head seems less work than swiveling.

Re: Questions about computer monitors
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.

Re: Questions about computer monitors
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

Re: Questions about computer monitors
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.

Re: Questions about computer monitors
Now I am jelly. Course I don't have enough space for that either.
