I conquer, 2560x1440 on my 32" is perfect for my eyes, but on a smaller monitor I don't think it wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have just one 24 inch monitor, 1080p. I find that is enough for what I do. I have a 32 inch 1080p TV hooked up but that is for video editing, I don't use it for music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The (old) PC my brother the programmer gave me only had 4:3 aspect ratio, which looked ridiculous on these wide TVs. So I bought an G-Force video card for it. That allows for up to 3 monitors, but 2 are enough. I did have 3 connected just to see how it worked (well) but I have no space for 3 at this time.

InstrEd Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm look for a new monitor myself. At the moment I'm using 1-2 22" monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Anyone have any suggestions on a good quality Monitor arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Well I'm thinking then to just get two 24" 1080p monitors and get an arm to keep one above the other. Word @InstrEd, scope us out a good monitor arm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track view on the left one / MD with tabbed console view/browser/synth rack on the right is the best layout for me. Having everything on the one screen, however large it might be, just looks cluttered to me. I know some here never use the CV and do everything in TV but I don't know how they do that either.

Yeah, whenever I have read that, I just can't grasp the concept, it's just, I don't know, alien or something but to those people the way I have it is probably equally as strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word @InstrEd, scope us out a good monitor arm ? I was thinking along these lines as well, you see the vertically stacked monitors on crime shows in the CIA/FBI/NCIS offices etc but you never see them much in DAW studios on the net or even in video editing. I shopped around for a dual vertical monitor mount but couldn't find one. Now there is one on the Australian version of Amazon. I think it might work better with the true 16:9 monitors, wider, not as tall. Great if you have limited space. The bottom one needs to be angled up and the top one angled down. Piano roll/mixer on the bottom and tracks on the top or for video editing timeline on the bottom, full screen playback on the top. I think I could even move to 22 inch monitors with this set up.

Tezza Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) This is the one I was looking at, there is probably similar in US: https://www.amazon.com.au/13-27-Vertical-Monitor-Freestanding-Desktop/dp/B07GLKLDXN/ref=asc_df_B07GLKLDXN/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341791782407&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11054944499982934610&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9070976&hvtargid=pla-759840200760&psc=1 Maybe you have to use the clamp type one (like in the picture) rather than the stand if you want to angle the top one down, or it falls on top of you. And a couple of monitors with thin borders. Edited April 2, 2020 by Tezza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi Christian Sorry a bit late in on the discussion but lockdown has already meant some internet issues - also South Africa lost one of its three cables bringing internet into the Country, so that also has caused us issues. But today is good - everything working!!! I use a 50" old TV and a 22" monitor - I put all the sub elements (synth rack, inspector etc) on the 22" and just keep the main mixing window on the 50" If you have a quick look at this video, you can see them in use (go to around 9.20) Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Heh, I remember when there was no way you could have a video monitor that close to an audio monitor! The magnets in the audio monitor would pull and distort the picture in the video monitor... Ah, CRT's! Nope, don't miss them at all - especially the eye strain and the burn-in! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
