Monitor's

Post by kmixx »

Hello all,
I'm about to buy a new LCD for my set up. And wanted to know everyone thoughts on one monitor verses Two. I was thinking about a 23inch, but then again for almost the same amount, I could get two 20inch. Do you think 23 is enough, and two 20 inch could be over kill? Let me know you thoughts.

I use two flat 17" monitors for large mixes and like it a lot. Plus a lot cheaper.

yeah, I used to 15 flats on an earlier system. And I must admit that I loved it. I was just wondering would a 23 inch, kill the need for a dual set up.
