i honestly think if you are going to get dual screens, don't get widescreens... your display area ends up being like 1m long and is a total pain in the ass. i ended up stacking my 22" monitors ontop of each other because its annoying to look side to side.
having two widescreen monitors like this also makes it basically impossible to position your speakers well... but everyone seems to forget about that, then spend $1k plus on monitors anyway. :stongue: |
well im screwed then lol |

| I have two monitors on my work computer, which allows me to keep this and other forums open while I'm working. ;) |

I have a dual widescreen setup:
I have Ableton usually in one window and all my VSTi's etc... in the other.
I would recommend getting widescreens, most DAWs work better if they have a bit more horizontal space to work with and you can stretch out waveforms easier |

i wanna hang 2 more monitors directly above the two i currently have... 4 screens 2 x 2 would probably be far less confusing then when i had a 4 screen panorama!

we had 2*2 screens at work recently for a project, it wrecked my neck and all the heat from all those pixels where kinda terrible. im telling you, u are not adviced to look in a higher angle that straight horizontal and down 30degres. |

I work with 1 screen: Dell wfp 3007HC, which is 2560 * 1600
For me the best of both worlds, more real estate than 2x 20", but not the width of 2 screens.
I've got a seperate 24" widescreen laying around doing nothing, since as mentioned earlier i can not place it next to it on my desk |

| I was using dual screens for years but had to go back to one because of space constraints / not feeling like buying more furnature. I hardly notice a difference in my work flow/ethic. I may even like having everything on one screen MORE as it's simpler. |

| Once you go 2 screens, you will NEVER go back. Productivity increases tremendously. I use a 20" LCD as my main screen that has the sequencer on it. To the right is a 24" LCD that I put everything else on. The mixer, VST windows, etc. Using 1 screen causes way too much clutter and window swapping and it will only slow you down. |
