I agree with your comment about dual monitors; I use two at work (non-video job) and can't imagine going back to one any more than I can imagine life without a microwave oven...or opposable thumbs. I'd use 3 if I could (monitors, that is). Steve |

Single 24" at home but a 3 monitor set-up at work.
A pair of 19" LCDs and a 15" JVC broadcast monitor for colour accuracy and luminance levels. Call me old-fashioned (which, after 35 yrs. in this business, I guess I am!!) but, until the world's last CRT hits the recycling depot, I'll continue to check my projects on a properly set up CRT. To paraphrase an old line, if it looks good there, it'll look good anywhere - and it always does. |

Two 22” computer displays + One 15”CRT + one 46" flat screen
I tried using a 30” but found it needed to be placed quite far away from my sitting position, and I found myself awkwardly looking up or down a lot. I now have two 22” Benq displays and one 15” CRT display. With two 22”s it’s easier (for me) to look left or right than up or down. I use a large flat panel above my head for client preview when needed. A bit off topic… There is a myth that nobody makes CRTs anymore. NOT TRUE JVC still has a handful of CRT monitors for broadcast CRT Monitors (I think Ikegami does too?). A while back Mike Kujbida pointed me towards JVC CRTs over my now discontinued Sony PVM. My JVC TM-H150CGU was cheaper, has flatter more accurate colour, a larger screen, higher rez and translates better to other screens than my Sony. …did I mention it was cheap, really cheap:) My workflow… I edit with Cineform in HD using a CRT for general monitoring and colour correction using Windows expanded desktop for my two displays, and use Vegas’s Preview Device function via firewire (OHCI Compiant IEEE1394/DV) out to my CRT. When and if a client comes by, i switch to the large flat panel using Vegas’s Preview Device function via Windows Secondary Display via my video cards HDMI out – though I do lose a desktop this way. …The beautiful thing about using a CRT with Cineform via firewire out is it preserves colour space so I thankfully never have to worry about colour issues. m

I prefer dual 22" and 37" HDTV (1080p).
