What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
I'm thinking of getting a new 32" (non-4k, I have two 27" 4k displays and it's just not working for me).

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
Why not just change the resolution to something other than 4K on the monitors you have? Or do you just want/prefer a single widescreen?

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
I have a 48" TV on the wall between my speakers, that I use for everything, PT, entertainment and practical stuff. I can control it from the other side of the room with bluetooth devices, and it gives me a good view of PT when I stand in the sweet spot, on the middle of the room with my PT controllers in front of me.
Then I have a 32" calibrated BenQ under the TV, that I can sit in front of, close to, when I need to do mouse/keyboard-intensive stuff w/PT, or edit photo/video with color correct display. Both screens are 1600x900 resolution. Makes them easy to see from a distance, and easy to swap windows and applications around. Modern macs and macOS's makes this very easy and powerful. I feel M1 'system on a chip' with the processor doing graphics and 'unified memory' is making the whole multi display experience more wonderful and fluent than ever. I have no trouble with the low resolution when sitting close to the 32", and I can easily use the 48" from four meters away. What was the question, again?

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
I run a pair of stacked(over and under) 32" Viewsonic screens running 1920x1080(I paid $300 for the pair as refurbs from amazon) and a 3rd 1920x1080(24") for stuff I like to see, but keep out of the way. This would be a 27", but my 27" has no mounting holes on the back

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
I use a single 32" Dell Ultrasharp monitor.
I just scale it so things aren't tiny on the screen.

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
Thanks It feels pretty efficient, but the 24" is going to need to swap out for something bigger, but its all I have at the moment. I just set that screen for a lower resolution so the text isn't too small for my old eyeballs to read The layout was born from trying to use a touchscreen(not the Slate, but DTouch). I dug the layout, but was not happy with the restrictions of the DTouch software(and Slate has the same issues). I was using a 43" TV in the middle for quite a while, but got frustrated with inconsistent color(but it was a cheap ROKU TV).

Re: What Monitor do you use for Pro Tools?
I'm using two 24's plus a 43" TV in the middle. The TV color probably isn't perfect, but when I need accurate color I just toss it over to one of the 24's.

Two Dell 27" for me. If I had the real estate available I would switch to a 42" television.
