I have a question about monitors
I’m getting 21” apple monitor with my dual G5.I’m musician running a lot of DAWs and plug ins as well. Of course I’ve seen the monitor but- in a long run- if anyone has experience – is this monitor large enough to work with or should rather go 23" which by the way does not seems that much bigger and it is twice that expensive? Thanks Milan |

I have apple monitor of 20¨. Apple monitor of 23¨ is really greater. I would buy the one of 23¨.

A different opinion: If the difference in price is more than about $200, I'd go for the 21". The exceptions would be if you really needed every last square inch of screen real estate you can get (e.g., Protools with lots of plug-ins), or if you have bad eyesight and need to be able to run at a larger resolution.

There are three things that always I need, speed CPU , Ram memory and inches in the monitor. If you have budget, buys the maximum of these three things.
Luck! |

You could buy two 20" for the price of one 23".

Milca,
Greetings - I have a Mac 23" Al cinema display - and while I love it to bits - the comments above are pretty good. It is expensive and part of me wishes I'd done what Jimmy suggested - get two 20" displays - good price and you get to have arrange window and transport on one monitor and Mixer and plug-ins on the other - I think that works really well for DAWs. It also works well for FinalCutPro, DVDStudioPro and Motion.  Have fun PT |
