Question Dual monitor vs single monitor setup

Hello,

I am considering buying a second display (or maybe even 3, as my MacPro has 2 video cards inside), but wondering if PT9 supports multiple monitors (and if the window configuration feature supports save & recall of window setups)

Me too. I cringe at the thought of working a single monitor, unless I am on a friend's 37" with a C24. Even then, we use a 20" on the side for Melodyne.

24" HP and 20" NEC here. :) I've been running a dual monitor setup for years now and I can't really imagine returning to single monitor, even a big one.

I've always used a dual monitor for PT, not sure what a 3rd would do for you though, since all you need is the edit screen and mixer to always be present.
