I'm thinking of buying a second 17" monitor.
How many of you are using dual screens for producing?
What do you use it for?
thx in advance!!

Been doing it for a couple of years now. I could never go back to 1 monitor! I set up Cubase with the arrangement on the left (main) monitor and the mixer on the right. |

Can't work with one anymore. Two is way more productive. Saves you a lot of time swiching between diefferent app screens or whatever you throw at it.. |

| For me the amount of time saved is not worth the amount of money spent, but whatever makes you happy. |

I think dual screens really work well.
But, I have been using 1 screen up until now and I can't really say that adding a second one is worth paying the extra $300-400 for. |

Buy a refurbished/second hand monitor for your secondary one then. In TO you should be able to find a 17" for well under $100 CAN. A 19" will probably run you $120-$150 CAN. Unless you plan on doing high-end graphic work on your secondary monitor, you don't need it to be a super high-end monitor. As long as you've already got a video card that supports it, a 2 monitor solution can be cheap!
On a related note, my dual head card is showing it's age. Anyone have any recommendations for a current video card that does dual monitors without any problems? Preferably under $150 US? |
